Answer by Alan3354(69443)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The ratio of carbon atoms in a carbon dioxide molecule is 1:2. How many carbon atoms and oxygen atoms are there in 36 molecule of carbon dioxide
---------------------
If you know that carbon dioxide is CO2, and each has one C and 2 O atoms, then
12 molecules will have 12 C atoms and 24 O atoms.
----------
However, that info is not given in the problem. If someone doesn't know that, then knowing only the ratio could mean each molecule has 3 C and 6 O atoms, 17 to 34.
The best answer to this problem is "Insufficient data"
