Desert plants commonly have small wax coated leaves to prevent moisture and water from evaporating. It is an important feature in desert plants to adapt to the arid climate. The wax on the leaves also protect the leaves from the chilling temperature of the desert at night.
Answer:
4.14 x 10²⁴ molecules CO₂
Explanation:
2 C₄H₁₀ + 13 O₂ --> 8 CO₂ + 10 H₂O
To find the number of CO₂ molecules, you need to start with 100 grams of butane (C₄H₁₀), convert to moles (using the molar mass), convert to moles of CO₂ (using coefficients from equation), then convert to molecules (using Avagadro's number). The molar mass of C₄H₁₀ is calculated using the quantity of each element (subscript) multiplied by the number on the periodic table. The ratios should be arranged in a way that allows for units to be cancelled.
4(12.011g/mol) + 10(1.008 g/mol) = 58.124 g/mol C₄H₁₀
100 grams C₄H₁₀ 1 mol C₄H₁₀ 8 mol CO₂

1 mol CO₂
The astronomical unit or also know as AU. Scientists use this because it’s convenient and easier to understand! Hope this helps ;)
