Why is the composition of the vapor different from the composition of the solution?

If there is solution with nonvolatile solute (substance that does not readily evaporate into a gas) only the pure vapor of the solvent is present above the solution and solute stays in solution and do not enters vapor above solution. This is because nonvolatile solute has slow rate of evaporation and low vapore pressure.
If solution has two volatile components, composition of the vapor depends on vapor pressures of the components according Raoult's Law.

All matter contain heat energy, and it can be seen anywhere as long as it contains mass and occupies space. Heat energy is another form energy that transfers particles in a substance through kinetic energy. One way to transfer heat from one object to the other is through the difference in temperature between two objects.

Propane(C3H8) combusts with oxygen gas. If you start with 15 grams of Propane, how many grams of carbon dioxide will be produced

skelet666 [1.2K]

mC₃H₈: 44 g/mol
mCO₂: 44 g/mol
---------------------

C₃H₈ + 5O₂ ----> 3CO₂ + 4H₂O
44g (44·3)g

44g C₃H₈ ------ 132g CO₂
15g C₃H₈ ------ X
X = (15×132)/44
X = 45g CO₂

two atoms respectively have Z=12, A=26 and Z=14, A=26. Can these two atoms be classified as isotopes of the same element?

aleksley [76]

No because they have the same number of protons not neutrons. fine, their mass nos are equal but isotopy is due to different number of neutrons.
