A general equation for a combustion reaction would be expressed as follows:
CxHy + (x+y/2)O2 = xCO2 + y/2H2O
Propane would obviously would only have carbon and hydrogen in its structure. Assuming a complete combustion, all of the carbon atoms would go to carbon dioxide and all of the hydrogen atoms to water. To determine the empirical, we determine the number of carbon and hydrogen atoms present.
moles C = 2.461 g CO2 ( 1 mol / 44.01 g ) ( 1 mol C / 1 mol CO2 ) = 0.06 mol C
moles H = 1.442 g H2O ( 1 mol / 18.02 g ) ( 2 mol H / 1 mol H ) = 0.16 mol H
Then, we divide the smallest amount to the each mole of the atoms. We do as follows:
C = 0.06 / 0.06 = 1
H = 0.16 / 0.06 = 2.67
Then we multiply a number in order to obtain a whole number ratio between the atoms.
1 CH2.67
2 C2H5.34
3 C3H8 <-------- empirical formula
Acid rain falls in areas that have air pollution. (<span>Acid rain is caused by emissions of </span>sulfur dioxide<span> and </span>nitrogen oxide)
The dew point would be about 22 . (this is C )
In order to determine the number of protons in 20.02 mol of Ne, we use Avogadro's number to convert the number of moles to number of atoms, 1 mol = 6.022 x 10^23 atoms. From there, we must know the number of protons in a Neon atom, which is 10. Thus, the formula will be:
(20.02 mol Ne)x(6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mol)x(10 protons/1 atom Ne) = 1.2056 x 10^26 protons
