19) A sample of carbon monoxide has a mass of 4.00 g. What is the mass of oxygen in this compound if the mass of carbon is 1.71 g?

To find the mass of oxygen in carbon monoxide (CO), you can use the following method:

1. The total mass of the compound is 4.00 g.
2. The mass of carbon in the sample is 1.71 g.
3. The mass of oxygen is the difference between the total mass and the mass of carbon.

\[
\text{Mass of oxygen} = \text{Total mass} - \text{Mass of carbon}
\]

\[
\text{Mass of oxygen} = 4.00 \, \text{g} - 1.71 \, \text{g} = 2.29 \, \text{g}
\]

Thus, the mass of oxygen in this carbon monoxide sample is **2.29 g**.
