Since the compound has 1.38 time that of oxygen gas at the same conditions of temperature and pressure, we have the relationship:
MW/MWoxygen = 1.38
MW = 44.16

Since there is water formed during the reaction, the formula of the compound must be:
XaHb
where a and b are the coefficients of each element.

If the compound reactions with oxygen forming water and an oxide of the element X, the combustion reaction must be:
XaHb + ((2a + (b/2))/2) O2 = a (XO2) + (b/2)(H2O)
Using dimensional analysis:
10 (1/44.16) (b/2 / 1) (18) = 16.3
Solving for b:
b = 8

The compound now is XaH8. Most probably, the compound is C3H8 since it has a molecular formula of 44 and it reacts with O2 to form water and CO2.

How does changing the concentration of the reactants change the parts of a rate law? It changes the rate, R. It changes the rate
Sidana [21]

Answer

A. It changes the rate, R

Explanation

When we change the concentration of the reactants in a chemical reaction, it affects the rate of reaction that happens in the process. Typically, the rate of reaction will decrease with time if the concentration of the reactants decreases because the reactants will be converted to products. Similarly, the rate of reaction will increase when the concentration of reactants are increased.

What is the mass of 3.01x1023 atoms of iron(atomic mass of fe=56)
nlexa [21]

Answer:

N = n× l

N = number of entities

n= moles

l = Avogadro's constant = 6.023 × 10^23

3.01 × 10^ 23 = n * 6.023 × 10^23

n = 3.01 × 10^23/6.023 × 10^23

n= 0.5moles

Molar mass = mass/ number of moles

Molar mass = 56

mass = 56 × 0.5

= 28g

Hope this helps.

How many moles of water are produced when 3.45 moles of KMnO4 react? Give your answer to the nearest 0.1 moles. moles H2O
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

13.8 moles of water produced.

Explanation:

Given data:

Moles of KMnO₄ = 3.45 mol

Moles of water = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

16HCl + 2KMnO₄ → 2KCl + 2MnCl₂ + 5Cl₂ + 8H₂O

Moler ratio of water and KMnO₄:

             KMnO₄       :        H₂O

                2             :          8

               3.45         :         8/2×3.45 = 13.8 mol

Hence, 3.45 moles of KMnO₄ will produced 13.8 mol of water.

Your lab partner named this compound 3-methyl-4-n-propylhexane, but that is not correct.
loris [4]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct IUPAC name of the alkane is 4-ethyl-3-methylheptane

<u>Explanation:</u>

The IUPAC nomenclature of alkanes are given as follows:

  • Select the longest possible carbon chain.
  • For the number of carbon atom, we add prefix as 'meth' for 1, 'eth' for 2, 'prop' for 3, 'but' for 4, 'pent' for 5, 'hex' for 6, 'sept' for 7, 'oct' for 8, 'nona' for 9 and 'deca' for 10.
  • A suffix '-ane' is added at the end of the name.
  • If two of more similar alkyl groups are present, then the words 'di', 'tri' 'tetra' and so on are used to specify the number of times these alkyl groups appear in the chain.

We are given:

An alkane having chemical name as 3-methyl-4-n-propylhexane. This will not be the correct name of the alkane because the longest possible carbon chain has 7 Carbon atoms, not 6 carbon atoms

The image of the given alkane is shown in the image below.

Hence, the correct IUPAC name of the alkane is 4-ethyl-3-methylheptane
