Answer:

Explanation:

Octane is C8H18, carbon is C. Therefore, for every mol of C8H18 there will be 8 mols of carbon.

Convert 20 kg of octane to mols octane using molar mass of octane.

Molar Mass octane = (8*12.011)+(18*1.008)=114.23 g/mol, where 8 and 18 are the atoms in the molecule and 12.011 and 1.008 are the respective molar masses of carbon and hydrogen.

20kg C8H18 *1000g/kg * mol C8H18/114.23g C8H18 = 175.1 mols octane.

Now convert that number of mols to mols carbon:

175.1 mol C8H18 * (8 mol C/mol C8H18)=1400.8 mol C.

Now remember that a mol of any given atom=6.022*10^23 atoms.

So 1400.8 mol C=1400.8*(6.022*10^23) atoms C, which is equal to your final answer, 8.4*10^26 atoms. (round to 2 significant digits since the initial number given, 20, has 2 significant digits.)

The main thing you want to look for here is your conversion factors. Once you have those down it is simple algebra from there, so be sure to practice those!

Answer:

Octane is a hydrocarbon and an alkane with the chemical formula C 8 H 18, and the condensed structural formula CH 3 (CH 2) 6 CH 3.Octane has many structural isomers that differ by the amount and location of branching in the carbon chain. One of these isomers, 2,2,4-trimethylpentane (commonly called iso-octane) is used as one of the standard values in the octane rating scale.

Chemical formula: C₈H₁₈

Molar mass: 114.232 g·mol−1

Melting point: −57.1 to −56.6 °C; −70.9 to −69.8 °F; 216.0 to 216.6 K

Solubility in water: 0.007 mg dm−3 (at 20 °C)

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

K > 1.

Explanation:

∵ The equilibrium constant K = [products]/[reactants].

Since, [products] > [reactants].

<em>∴ The equilibrium constant K > 1.</em>

For an alloy that consists of 33.5 wt% Pb and 66.5 wt% Sn, what is the composition (a) of Pb (in at%), and (b) of Sn (in at%)? T
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Pb: 22.4 at%

Sn: 77.6 at%

Explanation:

It is possible to find at% of Pb and Sn converting mass in moles using molar mass assuming a basis of 100g, thus:

Pb: 33.5g × (1mol / 207.2g) = <em>0.1617mol</em>

Sn: 66.5g × (1mol / 118.7g) = <em>0.5602mol</em>

<em />

Total moles: 0.1617mol + 0.5602mol = 0.7219mol

Composition in at%:

Pb: 0.1617mol / 0.7219mol × 100 = <em>22.4 at%</em>

Sn: 0.5602mol / 0.7219mol × 100 = <em>77.6 at%</em>

<em />

I hope it helps!

Sakura tested the ph of several solutions. which substances are acidic? check all that apply. cola-flavored soda: 2.6 cranberry
Step2247 [10]

Answer:- Cola-flavored soda:2.6, cranberry juice:2.9 and pickle juice:5.5 are acidic.

Explanations:- As per the pH scale, the solution is acidic if the pH is below 7 and the solution is basic if the pH is above 7. The solution is neutral if the pH is exactly 7.

There are only three solutions with pH value below 7 and so they are acidic. these three solutions are, cola-flavored soda, cranberry juice and pickle juice.

Rest of them are basic as their pH value is greater than 7.

A diatomic molecule with a triple covalent bond is
Debora [2.8K]
The diatomic molecule with a triple covalent bond is N2.
Nitrogen has five atoms in its valence shell. In order for it to attain the octet structure, that is, to have eight electrons in its outermost shell, it has to donate three electrons, just like the other element it is reacting with in order to form a triple covalent bond.
