Yes you balanced it correctly : CH₃CH₂CH₃ ₍g₎ + 5O₂ ₍g₎ -------> 3CO₂ ₍g₎ + 4H₂O ₍g₎
A hack to checking if its correct when they give you the structural formula of one of the species (CH₃CH₂CH₃) is to convert it to the molecular formula and if you get the same answer then it's correct.
So CH₃CH₂CH₃ is the struct-formula for the molec-formula C₃H₈
C₃H₈ + 5O₂ --------> 3 CO₂ + 4H₂O (which means your correct =D)
Answer:
Coefficients
Explanation:
Chemical equations are first written as a skeleton equation, which includes how many atoms each element and compound has. Skeleton equations are not 'balanced' because the number of atoms of each element on the left side (reactants) is not equal to the right side (products).
To balance a chemical equation, you can write coefficients in front of single elements and compounds. The coefficient multiplies with each single element and with each element in the compound.
For example, in this skeleton equation:
H₂ + Cl₂ => HCl
Reactants: Products:
2 hydrogen 1 hydrogen
2 chlorine 1 chlorine
Write the coefficient 2 in the products.
H₂ + Cl₂ => 2HCl
Now both reactant and product sides have 2 chlorine and 2 hydrogen, so the equation is balanced.
Given that there is 48 liters of gasoline to be burned and that 45 kJ of energy is released per gram of gasoline burned, the amount of energy that the gasoline fuel produces can then be calculated, First, we convert 48 liters of gasoline to units of mass (grams) in order to use the given conversion of 45 kJ per gram of gasoline. To do this, we use the density of gasoline which is 0.77 g/mL. The following expression is then used:
48 L gasoline x 1000 mL/L x 0.77 g/mL x 45 kJ/g gasoline = 1663200 kJ
<span>The amount of energy produced by burning 48 L of gasoline was then determined to be 1663200 kJ. </span>
