Answer is: 55.125 grams <span>of propane must be burned.
</span>Balanced chemical reaction: C₃H₈ + 5O₂ → 3CO₂ + 4H₂O.
Make proportion: 1 mol(C₃H₈) : 2220 kJ = n(C₃H₈) : 2775kJ.
n(C₃H₈) = 2775 kJ·mol ÷ 2220 kJ.
n(C₃H₈) = 1.25 mol.
m(C₃H₈) = n(C₃H₈) · M(C₃H₈).
m(C₃H₈) = 1.25 mol · 44.1 g/mol.
m(C₃H₈) = 55.125 g.
n - amount of substance.

Magnesium metal reacts with iodine gas at high temperatures to form magnesium iodide. what mass of mgi2 can be produced from the
sergiy2304 [10]
<span>54.8 g of MgI2 can be produced. To solve this, you need to determine the molar mass of each reactant and the product. First, look up the atomic weights of iodine and magnesium Atomic weight of Iodine = 126.90447 Atomic weight of Magnesium = 24.305 Molar mass of MgI2 = 24.305 + 2 * 126.90447 = 278.11394 Now determine how many moles of Iodine and Magnesium you have moles of Iodine = 50.0 g / 126.90447 g/mol = 0.393997154 mole moles of Magnesium = 5.15 / 24.305 g/mol = 0.211890557 mole Since for every magnesium atom, you need 2 iodine atoms and since the number of moles of available iodine isn't at least 2 times the available moles of magnesium, iodine is the limiting reagent. So figure out how many moles of magnesium will be consumed by the iodine 0.393997154 mole / 2 = 0.196998577 mole. This means that you can make 0.196998577 moles of MgI2. Now simply multiply by the previously calculated molar mass of MgI2 0.196998577 mole * 278.11394 g/mole = 54.78805 g Round the result to the correct number of significant figures. 54.78805 g = 54.8 g</span>

Provide one example of how life on Earth would not be possible without water based on its characteristics.
snow_lady [41]

Answer: ice is less dense than liquid water. If ice was more dense, Earth would freeze.

Explanation: There are many reasons why life on Earth depends on the characteristics of water. One could discuss hydrogen bonds and its role as a solvent, but the unusual property of water is is the change in density with change in temperature. Water is densest at 4 degC, which is why ice floats - it is less dense than cold water (it melts quickly in warm water, so density isn’t impotant at higher temperatures). Most liquids are less dense than the solid, frozen form. If this was the case with water, any ice that formed would sink, and sease would freeze from the bottom up. Furthermore, the lowest layers would be insulated and would not all melt in summer. Thus over time, the seas would become a thin layer of liquid water at best, over solid ice. Life could not develop without liquid seas. In addition, ice is reflective, reducing the amount of sunlight absorbed, further reducing temperatures. Without ocean circulation, polar areas would be even colder, and there would be no rain.

What are rotation and revolution and how do they affect Earth?
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

Rotation refers to an object's spinning motion about its own axis. "Revolution" refers the object's orbital motion around another object. For example, Earth rotates on its own axis, producing the 24-hour day. Earth revolves about the Sun, producing the 365-day year.

Why do atoms always contain the same number of electrons and protons?
katovenus [111]

Answer:

An electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle and a proton is a positively charged subatomic particle. Positive charge(s) attract negative charge(s) and vice versa. The proton and neutron stay together and attract one another to give the atom an overall charge of zero (neutral). Which is the charge of an atom. When there is an unequal number of protons and neutrons an ion is formed. If the number of protons are more than the electron, a positively charged ion called cation is formed. On the other hand, if the number of electrons are more than the protons a negatively charged ion called anion is formed.
