Simple. The atomic number is the number of protons (12) and the mass number is the number of neutrons and protons combined. So you'd subtract 12 from 25 (25-12=) and that'd get you 13 as your answer. If you need to find the number of electrons, it'll be the same as the number of protons unless it has a certain charge and if it does, if it's positive it has more protons (+) than electrons (-), if it is negative it has more electrons (- negatively charged) than protons (+ positively charged)

The combustion of gasoline produces carbon dioxide and water. Assume gasoline to be pure octane (C8H18) and calculate the mass (
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

3.1 kg

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced combustion equation

C₈H₁₈ + 12.5 O₂ ⇒ 8 CO₂ + 9 H₂O

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 1.0 kg of C₈H₁₈.

The molar mass of C₈H₁₈ is 114.23 g/mol.

1.0 × 10³ g × 1 mol/114.23 g = 8.8 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of CO₂ produced from 8.8 moles of C₈H₁₈

The molar ratio of C₈H₁₈ to CO₂ is 1:8. The moles of CO₂ produced are 8/1 × 8.8 mol = 70 mol.

Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 70 moles of CO₂

The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01 g/mol.

70 mol × 44.01 g/mol = 3.1 × 10³ g = 3.1 kg

Why is salt an ionic bond? Why is salt an ionic bond?
yaroslaw [1]
: If you mean table salt i.e. sodium chloride. It is held together by ionic bonds between sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl-) ions. The sodium ions have a positive charge and the chlorine ions have a negative charge. Since opposite charges attract, they form ionic bonds. Ionic bonds are nothing more than the attraction between positive and negative ions.
