Given: C3H8(g) + O2(g) ----> CO2 (g) + H2O (g)

Step : Put a 3 in front of CO2 (g) to balance C

=> C3H8(g) + O2(g) ----> 3CO2 + H2O to balance H

Step 2: Put a 4 in front of H2O

=> C3H8 (g) + O2(g) -----> 3CO2 (g) + 4H2O (g)

Step 3: Given that there are 3*2 + 4 = 10 O to the right side, put a 5 in front of O2 to balance O:

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

You can verify that the equation is balanced.

So, the answer is that the coefficient in front of O2 is 5.

An 11.75 g sample of a common hydrate of cobalt(ii) chloride is heated. after heating, 9.25 g of anhydrous cobalt chloride remai

Irina-Kira [14]

Hydrated salts are when salt crystals have water molecules bound. Anhydrous salts are when the water has been removed.
mass of water removed = hydrated salt - anhydrate salt
= 11.75 g - 9.25 g = 2.50 g
number of water moles = 2.50 g / 18 g/mol = 0.139 mol
number of cobalt (II) chloride moles = 9.25 g / 130 g/mol = 0.0712 mol
ratio of water moles to CoCl₂ moles - 0.139 mol / 0.0712 mol = 1.95
rounded off 2 moles of water for every 1 mol of CoCl₂
formula - CoCl₂.2H₂O
name - Cobalt(II) chloride dihydrate

Define and then describe the difference between a polar covalent bond, nonpolar covalent bond and ionic bond.

Romashka [77]

Polar covalent bond- a bond where atoms are unevenly shared due to a larger difference in electronegativity of the bonded elements.

Non-polar covalent bond- These are bonds between elements with a low difference in electronegativity. Electrons are shared equally in these bonds between the elements.

Ionic bonds- have such large difference in electronegativity that they take/give electrons to the element they are bonded to. They do not share electrons at all. Bonds between a non-metal and a metal.
