The balanced equation for the above reaction is as follows;
2C₈H₁₈ + 25O₂ ---> 16CO₂ + 18H₂O
stoichiometry of octane to CO₂ is 2:16
number of C₈H₁₈ moles reacted - 191.6 g / 114 g/mol = 1.68 mol
when 2 mol of octane reacts it forms 16 mol of CO₂
therefore when 1.68 mol of octane reacts - it forms 16/2 x 1.68 = 13.45 mol of CO₂
number of CO₂ moles formed - 13.45 mol
therefore mass of CO₂ formed - 13.45 mol x 44 g/mol = 591.8 g
mass of CO₂ formed is 591.8 g
The oxidation state of the compound Mn (ClO4)3 is to be determined in this problem. For oxygen, the charge is 2-, the total considering its number of atoms is -24. Mn has a charge of +3. TO compute for Mn, we must achieve zero charge overall hence 3+3x-24=0 where x is the Cl charge. Cl charge, x is +7.
Characteristic properties are used because the sample size and the shape of the substance does not matter.
Answer:
Cooling a substance causes molecules to slow down and get slightly closer together, occupying a smaller volume that results in an increase in density. Hot water is less dense and will float on room-temperature water. <u>Cold water is more dense and will sink in room-temperature water.</u>
