The statement seems to be true, as per my knowledge.
Hope I helped!! xx
The two properties which are used to define matter are that it has mass
and it takes up space. The other properties do not necessarily apply to
each matter. Such some matter can be a conductor of heat (such as metal)
and some not (such as non metals). Likewise, some matter can be buoyant
and float on liquid of density more than it but others would not on the
liquids of density less than it. In-fact not all the matters are
conductors of energy (such as heat, sound, electricity) or at-least a
very poor conductor of energy and tend to find application as
insulating agents (non conductors). So the only thing which is
necessarily true is that the matter would definitely have mass in even
their minutest form as atom and would take up some space.
Answer:
1) Write the balanced equation:
2C2H6 + 7O2 ---> 4CO2 + 6H2O
2) Determine limiting reagent:
C2H6 ⇒ 13.8 g / 30.0694 g/mol = 0.45894 mol
O2 ⇒ 45.8 g / 31.9988 g/mol = 1.4313 mol
C2H6 ⇒ 0.45894 / 2 = 0.22947
O2 ⇒ 1.4313 / 7 = 0.20447
Oxygen is limiting.
3) Determine theoretical yield of water:
The oxygen : water molar ratio is 7 : 6
7 is to 6 as 1.4313 mol is to x
x = 1.2268286 mol of water
4) Convert moles of water to grams:
1.2268286 mol times 18.015 g/mol = 22.1 g (to three sig figs)
Solution to (b):
14.2 g / 22.1 g = 64.2%
