Chemical reaction is a process in which one set of chemical substances (reactants) is converted into another (products). It involves making and breaking chemical bonds and the rearrangement of atoms. Chemical reactions are represented by balanced chemical equations, with chemical formulas symbolizing reactants and products. For specific chemical reactants, two questions may be posed about a possible chemical reaction. First, will a reaction occur? Second, what are the possible products if a reaction occurs? This
Answer:
Mass = 13.23 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of oxygen = 48.0 g
Mass of propane burn = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
C₃H₈ + 5O₂ → 3CO₂ + 4H₂O
Number of moles of oxygen:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 48.0 g/ 32 g/mol
Number of moles = 1.5 mol
now we will compare the moles of propane and oxygen.
O₂ : C₃H₈
5 : 1
1.5 : 1/5×1.5 = 0.3 mol
Mass of propane burn:
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 0.3 mol × 44.1 g/mol
Mass = 13.23 g
A local community needs to provide more electricity for its growing population. Currently, the community's electricity needs are met by coal-burning power plants several kilometres away. Citizens are concerned that burning more coal will produce too much air pollution.
Which of the following could be used as an alternative energy resource to help minimise air pollution in this community?
A. hydroelectric energy
B. solar energy
C. wind energy
<u>D. all of these
