Basis of the calculation: 100g
 
For Carbon: 
 Mass of carbon = (100 g)(0.80) = 80 g
  Number of moles of carbon = (80 g)(1 mole / 12g) = 20/3

For Hydrogen:
  Mass of hydrogen = (100 g)(0.20) = 20 g
     Number of moles of hydrogen = (20 g)(1 mole / 1 g) = 20

Translating the answer to the formula of the substance,
     C20/3H20

Dividing the answer,
    CH3

The molar mass of the empirical formula is:
    12 + 3 = 15 g/mol

Since, the molar mass given for the molecular formula is 30.069 g/mol, the molecular equation is,
    C2H6

ANSWER: C2H6

What happens to dissolving rate when you increase KE?
TEA [102]
In general, solubility increases with temperature. When you increase the temperature of a solvent, you increase the kinetic energy (or energy of movement) of the molecules, and this greater energy helps dissolve more of the solute molecules.

How many dm3 of oxygen at STP would be required to react completely with 38.8g of propane? (3 marks)
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

98.56 dm^3 of oxygen at STP would be required to react completely with 38.8g of propane.

<u>Given that :</u>

molar mass of propane = 44 g/mol

mass of propane = 38.8 g

∴ Moles present in 38.8 g of propane = \frac{38.8}{44} = 0.88 mole

<u>applying rule of balanced equations </u>

1 mole of propane = 5 moles of oxygen

0.88 mole of propane =  5 * 0.88 = 4.4 moles of oxygen

Note : volume of 1 mole of oxygen at STP = 22.4 dm^3

∴Total volume of oxygen required at STP = 22.4 * 4.4 = 98.56 dm^3

Hence we can conclude that the volume of oxygen at STP required to react completely 98.56 dm^3
