Consider the reaction below. If you start with 4.00 moles of C3H8 (propane) and 4.00 moles of O2 , how many moles of propane wou
fgiga [73]

Answer:

0.800 mol

Explanation:

We have the amounts of two reactants, so this is a limiting reactant problem.  

We know that we will need a balanced equation with moles of the compounds involved.  

Step 1. <em>Gather all the information</em> in one place.

            C₃H₈ + 5O₂ ⟶ 3CO₂ + 4H₂O

n/mol:  4.00    4.00

===============

Step 2. Identify the <em>limiting reactant </em>

Calculate the <em>moles of CO₂</em> we can obtain from each reactant.  

<em>From C₃H₈:</em>

The molar ratio of CO₂: C₃H₈ is 3:1

Moles of CO₂ = 4.00 × 3/1

Moles of CO₂ = 12.0 mol CO₂

<em>From O₂</em>:

The molar ratio of CO₂: O₂ is 3:5.

Moles of CO₂ = 4.00 × ⅗

Moles of CO₂ = 2.40 mol CO₂

O₂ is the limiting reactant because it gives the smaller amount of CO₂.

==============

Step 3. Calculate the <em>moles of C₃H₈ consumed</em>.

The molar ratio of C₃H₈:O₂ is 1:5.

Moles of C₃H₈ = 4.00 × ⅕

Moles of C₃H₈ = 0.800 mol C₃H₈

1. Why is carbon dioxide a gas at low temperatures at mars
wlad13 [49]

1. carbon dioxide is a gas at low temperatures at mars because in the oxidizing environment organic compounds are oxidized to form carbon dioxide.

2. The 1 electron in outermost shell of Na is shared with 7 electrons of outermost shell of chlorine giving neutral charge on compound.

3. Electrostatic force of attraction is between the metal and non-metal.

4. When metal and non metal exchange electrons to form a neutral or no charge compound it is said to have form ionic bonds.

Explanation:

1. Temperature at Mars is very low -80 Fahrenheit  (-60 degrees) because water is not present in the planet. Carbon dioxide is abundant in Mars. The atmosphere is oxidizing at Mars which oxidizes the organic compounds and forms carbon dioxide.

2. NaCl combines by sharing of electrons forming ionic bonding. Different atoms of the different element share electrons to form ionic bonds. Such bond is formed when electrons is transferred between the atoms. In the NaCl, Na has 1 electron (electropositive) in its outer shell and chlorine has 7 electrons (electronegative). Both share the electrons getting their octet complete and a neutral charge on the compound formed.

3. Electrostatic force of attraction is between the metal and non-metal when bond is formed. The ionic bonds is formed between metal and non metals when electron exchange takes place. The electrostatic force is the attraction between two opposite charges on the ion.

4. When a metal and non metal exchange electrons in which metal is electropositive and non metal is electronegative the bonds form is called ionic bond. The electron is transferred from metal to non metal and thus giving neutral charge on the compound i.e. the outer shell has its octet complete.

A material has a volume of 63.0 cm3 and a mass of 28 grams.  What is the density of the material in g/cm3 to the correct number
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

0.4444 g/cm³ ≅ 0.44 g/cm³ (2 significant figures).

Explanation:

  • Knowing that:

<em>d = m/V,</em>

where, d is the density of the material (g/cm³).

m is the mass of the material (m = 28 g).

V is the volume of the material (V = 63.0 cm³).

<em>∴ d = m/V </em>= (28 g)/(63.0 cm³) = <em>0.4444 g/cm³ ≅ 0.44 g/cm³ (2 significant figures).</em>
