$C(s) + O_2(g) rarr CO_2(g)$.

The $1:1$ is clear: moles of carbon, and dioxygen gas are equivalent to the moles of carbon dioxide gas generated.

We start with $(28.2*g)/(12.01*g*mol)=2.35*mol$ $C$, and thus $2.35*molxx44.01*g*mol^-1$ $CO_2(g)$ are evolved.

Suppose that less than $100*g$ of gas were collected in the experiment. Barring error on the part of the experimenter, what would be a reasonable explanation?
