A general equation for a combustion reaction would be expressed as follows:
CxHy + (x+y/2)O2 = xCO2 + y/2H2O
Propane would obviously would only have carbon and hydrogen in its structure. Assuming a complete combustion, all of the carbon atoms would go to carbon dioxide and all of the hydrogen atoms to water. To determine the empirical, we determine the number of carbon and hydrogen atoms present.
moles C = 2.461 g CO2 ( 1 mol / 44.01 g ) ( 1 mol C / 1 mol CO2 ) = 0.06 mol C
moles H = 1.442 g H2O ( 1 mol / 18.02 g ) ( 2 mol H / 1 mol H ) = 0.16 mol H
Then, we divide the smallest amount to the each mole of the atoms. We do as follows:
C = 0.06 / 0.06 = 1
H = 0.16 / 0.06 = 2.67
Then we multiply a number in order to obtain a whole number ratio between the atoms.
1 CH2.67
2 C2H5.34
3 C3H8 <-------- empirical formula
Determine the mass in grams of each element in the sample. If you are given percent composition, you can directly convert the percentage of each element to grams.
For example, a molecule has a molecular weight of 180.18 g/mol. It is found to contain 40.00% carbon, 6.72% hydrogen and 53.28% oxygen.
Convert the percentages to grams.
40.00 grams of carbon
6.72 grams of hydrogen
53.28 grams of oxygen
<span>Mol is the unit of amount of substance. It is equal to 6.02 x 10^23 molecules. Now, One mol of Sodium chloride (NaCl) contains 6.022x 10^23 molecules of NaCl. Also, the number atoms of both Na (sodium) and Cl (chlorine) will be equal. Similatly, One mol of Aluminium Chloride (AlCl3) contains 6.022x 10^23 molecules of (AlCl3) but the ratio of Al and Cl atoms will be 1:3</span>
Answer:
Yes, they are isotopes.
Explanation:
Isotopes are atoms with the same atomic number Z and a different mass number (A). That is, they differ in the number of neutrons (eg carbon 12, has 6 protons, 6 electrons, and 6 neutrons, carbon 13, 7 neutrons, and carbon 14 8 neutrons).
<span>if given element is neutral, than it has to have same number of protons and electrons. so in this case it is 12 electrons.</span><span>
Hope it helps :)
