    The mass of carbon and oxygen pair from the decomposition of carbon monoxide has an obvious pattern of 3 carbon : 4 oxygen. This can be explained by the balanced chemical equation of the decomposition of CO.

    6g carbon : 8g oxygen

    12g carbon : 16g oxygen

    18g carbon : 24g oxygen

    These all results to a common ration of 3g C is to 4g O2
