Answer:

11 g of CO2

Explanation:

Consider the following equation:

C + O2 => CO2

Here, 12g of carbon reacts with 32 grams of oxygen gas to form 44 grams of carbon dioxide.

Hence:

32g of O2 ---- 44g of CO2

8g of O2 ------ X g of CO2.

By ratios and proportions, we get,

X = (44/32)*8 = 11 grams of CO2

Thank you !
