A scientist finds that one volume of an unknown gas X combines with two volumes of another gas Y to form two volumes of a new ga

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Gas X

Explanation:

The given reaction can be written in the form of chemical equation as shown below as:

$X+2Y\rightarrow 2XY_2$

According to law of conservation of mass, the moles of each substance in the reaction must be equal on both reactant and product side.

Also, the question asks for the gas which is diatomic. $XY_2$ cannot be diatomic as the formula contains 3 atoms.

Between gas X and gas Y , X has to be diatomic for the reaction to balance as:

$X_2+2Y\rightarrow 2XY_2$

C3H8 + 5 O2 → 3 CO2 + 4 H2O What is the number of atoms on each side of the equation?

Roman55 [17]

Answer: 1.2642*10²⁵ on both sides

Explanation:

First check how many moles are there on each side.
Since this is a balanaced equataion the number of moles on each side is the same thus the number of atoms is also same on both sides

There are 3 moles of carbon and 8 moles of hydrogen in C3H8
and 2 moles of oxygen in O2 but there 5 infront so 2*5 is 10
Number of moles on the right is 10+8+3 = 21

Now use Avogrado's constant

21 Moles* (6.02*10²³)/Mol
= 21*6.02*10²³

= 1.2642*10²⁵
