Answer:

The answer to your question is letter A. 2

Explanation:

Data

Octane = C₈H₁₈

Oxygen = O₂

Carbon dioxide = CO₂

Water = H₂O

Reaction

                         C₈H₁₈  +   O₂   ⇒   CO₂   +   H₂O

                  Reactants         Elements          Products

                          8                     C                         1

                         18                     H                        2

                          2                     O                        3

This reaction is unbalanced

                          C₈H₁₈  +  25/2O₂   ⇒   8CO₂   +   9H₂O

                  Reactants         Elements          Products

                          8                     C                         8

                         18                     H                        18

                         25                     O                       25

Multiply the reaction by 2

                    2C₈H₁₈  +   25O₂   ⇒   16CO₂   +   18H₂O

                  Reactants         Elements          Products

                         16                     C                        16

                         36                     H                       36

                         50                     O                       50

Now, the reaction is balanced

Juanita dissolves 46 g of MgBr2 (molar mass: 184.11 g/mol) in 0.5 kg of distilled water. What is the molality of the solution?
irina [24]
Formula: molality, m = n solute / kg solvent

n solute = # of moles of solute = mass(g) / molar mass

Molar mass of Mg Br2 = 184.11 g/mol

m = [46g / 184.11 g/mol] / 0.5 kg = 0.50 mol/kg
