1 answer:

7 0

The reaction, 2 C4H10 (g) + 13 O2 (g) = 8 CO2 (g) + 5 H2O (g), is the combustion of butane. A combustion reaction involves the reaction of a hydrocarbon with oxygen producing carbon dioxide and water. This reaction is exothermic which means it releases energy in the form of heat. Therefore, as the reaction proceeds,a heat energy is being given off by the reaction. This happens because the total kinetic energy of the reactants is greater than the total kinetic energy of the products. So, the excess energy should be given off somewhere which in this case is released as heat.

How many grams of FeCl 3 are in 250. mL of a 0.100 M solution?

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B

Explanation:

$$Molarity=\frac{Weight}{Molecular \,weight} \frac{1000}{V(in \, ml)}$

Given values,

Molarity of $FeCl_3=0.100M$

Volume of solution, $V=250ml$

Molecular weight of $FeCl_3=162.2$

Substituting this values in Molarity formula, we get

$0.1=\frac{weight}{162.2} \times\frac{1000}{250} $\\$\Rightarrow 16.22=weight\times4$\\$\Rightarrow weight=\frac{16.22}{4} $\\$\therefore weight=4.06g$
