Answer:

128g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of carbon  = 48g

Mass of carbon dioxide  = 176g

Unknown:

Mass of oxygen that reacted  = ?

Solution:

Every chemical reaction must obey the law of conservation of mass. It states that "in a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed" .

So;

     Mass of carbon + Mass of oxygen  = Mass of carbon dioxide

Mass of oxygen  = Mass of carbon dioxide  - Mass of carbon

Mass of oxygen  = 176  - 48  = 128g
