Answer: it has 4 electrons surrounding it. Every electron wants to be bonded to another electron. That means every atom want 8 electrons total. Carbon on its own only has 4 electrons. That means it can make 4 bonds.

Explanation: it has 4 electrons surrounding it. Every electron wants to be bonded to another electron. That means every atom want 8 electrons total. Carbon on its own only has 4 electrons. That means it can make 4 bonds.

The average propane cylinder for a residential grill holds approximately 18 kg of propane. how much energy (in kj) is released b
Angelina_Jolie [31]
Let's begin with the basic values  that will be used in the solution.

The formula of propane is C3H8. It is an alkane, a hydrocarbon with the general formula of CnH2n+2. Notice that hydrocarbons have only Carbon and Hydrogen atoms. Its molar mass (M) is 44 g.

Molar Mass Calculation is done as like that
C=12 g/mol, H=1 g/mol. 1 mole propane has 3 moles Carbon atoms and 8 mole Hydrogen atoms. M(
C3H8)= 3*12+ 8*1= 44 g

Combustion reaction of hydrocarbons gives carbon dioxide and water by releasing energy. That energy is called as enthalpy of combustion (
ΔHc°).  

ΔHc° of propane equals -2202.0 kj/mol. Burning of 1 mole C3H8 releases 2202 kj energy. Minus sign only indicates that the energy is given out ( an exothermic reaction ).

Let's write the combustion reaction.
C3H8 + O2 ---> CO2 + H20 (unbalanced) 
ΔHc° = -2202 kj/mol

Now, we calculate mole of 20 kg propane. Convert kilogram into gram since we use molar mass is defined in grams.
mole=mass/molar mass ; n=m/M ; n= 20000 g /44 (g/mol)=454 mole

1 mole propane releases 2202 kj energy.
454 mole propane release 2202 kj *454= 1000909 kj

The answer is 1000909 kj.

How many molecules are there in 79g of Fe2O3?
weqwewe [10]
There are approximately 160 grams in 1 mol of fe203 molecules therefore there would be 79/160 = 0.49375 mols of fe203 molecules in 79 grams therefore 5 atoms in total for each molecule of fe203 therefore 79/160 *5 =79/32=2.46875 mols in atoms
