Answer:

24.0 g C₃H₈

Explanation:

To find the mass of C₃H₈, you need to (1) convert grams CO/H₂ to moles CO/H₂ (via molar mass), then (2) convert moles CO/H₂ to moles C₃H₈ (via mole-to-mole ratio from reaction coefficients), and then (3) convert moles C₃H₈ to grams C₃H₈ (via molar mass). It is important to arrange the conversions/ratios in a way that allows for the cancellation of units (the desired unit should be in the numerator). The final answer should have 3 sig figs to reflect the sig figs in the given values.

Molar Mass (CO): 12.011 g/mol + 15.998 g/mol

Molar Mass (CO): 28.009 g/mol

Molar Mass (H₂): 2(1.008 g/mol)

Molar Mass (H₂): 2.016 g/mol

Molar Mass (C₃H₈): 3(12.011 g/mol) + 8(1.008 g/mol)

Molar Mass (C₃H₈): 44.097 g/mol

3 CO + 7 H₂ ----> 1 C₃H₈ + 3 H₂O
^           ^              ^

45.8 g CO           1 mole              1 mole C₃H₈          44.097 g
-----------------  x  ------------------  x  --------------------  x  ------------------  =
                           28.009 g           3 moles CO            1 mole

=  24.0 g C₃H₈

87.3 g H₂           1 mole           1 mole C₃H₈          44.097 g
----------------  x  ---------------  x  ---------------------  x  -----------------  =  
                          2.016 g           7 moles H₂             1 mole

=  273 g C₃H₈

It was necessary to find the mass of the products from both of the reactants because you did not know which one was the limiting reagent. The limiting reagent is the reactant which is completely used up first. Because CO produced the smaller amount of product, it must be the limiting reagent. Therefore, the actual amount of C₃H₈ produced is 24.0 grams.

Answer:

After you have waived your rights, the confession must still be a voluntary confession. Whether a confession is voluntary or not is based on the “totality of the circumstances”. The Courts have held that a police officer simply lying does not result in an “involuntary confession”.

A molecule of butane and a molecule of 2-butene both have the same total number of
Vinvika [58]
The correct answer is option 1. Butane and 2-butene have the same total number of carbon atoms. They both have four carbon atoms. They differ in there structure since the latter has double bonds on it. As a result of the different structure, they also have different properties.
