The balanced equation says that 2 moles C₂H₆ and 7 moles O₂ react together, i.e. in a ratio of 7:2 or 3.5 moles of O₂ to C₂H₆.
With molar masses 30.07 g/mol (C₂H₆) and 31.998 g/mol (O₂), the given quantities amount to
(19 g C₂H₆) × (1/30.07 mol/g) ≈ 0.63 mol C₂H₆
(115 g O₂) × (1/31.998 mol/g) ≈ 3.59 mol O₂
Now, 0.63/2 ≈ 0.32, and for every 0.32 mol C₂H₆ consumed, the reaction requires 7×0.32 ≈ 2.2 mol O₂. Then in order to consume all of the C₂H₆, the reaction would need 2×2.2 ≈ 4.4 mol O₂, which we don't have.
In other words, we have too much C₂H₆ and not enough O₂, so O₂ is the limiting reactant.
Explanation:
The electronegativity difference in C-C and C-H atoms is quite low. This means smaller the electron cloud. This further means larger bond length that is electron's are further from the nucleus. hence, higher potential energy of C-C and C-H bonds.
On the contrary, C-O and H-O have large difference in electronegativity( O is high electronegative element) . This means smaller bond length. Electron's near the nucleus. Thus, lower potential energy of bonds.
Answer:
A molecule's shape strongly affects its physical properties and the way it interacts with other molecules, and plays an important role in the way that biological molecules (proteins, enzymes, DNA, etc.) interact with each other.
Explanation:
Answer:
C. The mass of an electron is much less than the mass of a proton or
a neutron.
Explanation:
When we compare the mass of an electron to that of proton or neutron, the mass of an electron is much less than the mass of a proton or a neutron.
Electrons are negatively charged particles in an atom
Protons are positively charged particles
Neutrons do not carry any charges.
- The relative mass of an electron compared to that of a proton is
- This is a very small value
- Electrons generally have mass of 9.11 x 10⁻³¹kg
- Protons weigh 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷kg
- Neutrons weigh 1.68 x 10⁻²⁷kg
We can see that electrons have very small mass and this is why when calculating the mass of an atom, we use the sum of the number of protons and neutrons.
