Hey,

I have a question... it is actually from my homework. I am trying to figure out what exactly this problem is wanting. I am thinking a proportion of Carbon and Oxygen.

In addition to Carbon Monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2), there is a third compound of carbon and oxygen called carbon suboxide. If a 2.500g sample of carbon suboxide contains 1.32g of C and 1.18g of O, show that the law of multiple proportions is followed.
