C. The number of Valence electrons,
Every atom tries to follow the Octet rule i.e To have 8 electrons in its Valence shell.
Every atom tries to accomodate 8 electrons in its Valence shell to stabilize themselves, Metals usually have 1-3 eletrons in their Valence shell which they donate to non metals so their Valnce shell has 8 electroons, (The previous will now be the Valence shell and it will be full)
Similarly Non metals have 4-7 electrons, they accept electrons from metals so they can have 8 electrons in their Valence shell.
Noble gases already have 8 electrons in their Valance shell, so they do not react and stable.

Hope it helps :)

What mass of water is produced by the combustion 1.2 x 10^26 molecules of butane ?
podryga [215]

Answer:

17.934 kg of water

Explanation:

If balanced equation is not given; this format can come in handy.

For any alkane of the type : CₙH₂ₙ₊₂ , it's combustion reaction will follow:

2CₙH₂ₙ₊₂ + (3n+1) O₂  →  (2n)CO₂ + 2(n+1) H₂O

For butane:

2C₄H₁₀(g) + 13O₂(g) →  8CO₂(g) + 10H₂O(l)

2 moles of butane gives 10 moles of water.

1 mol of any substance has Avogadro number(N) of molecules in it( 6.022 x 10²³)

Mass of 1 mole of any substance is equal to it's molar mass

So, if 2 x N molecules of butane gives 10 x 18 g of water.

Then  1.2 x 10²⁶ molecules will give:

\frac{1.2 \times 10^{26} \times 180}{2 \times 6.022 \times  10^{23}}

= 17.934 x 10³ g of water

= 17.934 kg of water
