<span>molecular weight of C4H10 is = 58.1 grams

moles of butane  = </span>\frac{1.5}{58.1}  = 0.0258

Multiply the number of moles by Avogadro's number. This will let you obtain the number of butane molecules: 

<span>0.0258 x 6.023 x 10^{23} molecules of butane = 1.5538 * 10^22 molecules
of butane 
</span>
<span>Now multiply this number by four (due to four carbon atoms per butane molecule) to obtain the answer: 
</span>
so, no. of carbon atoms = 4 x 1.5538 x 10^22  =  6.21 x 10^22 atoms

6,237.10²² atoms are in 1.50 g of butane

<h3><em>Further explanation</em></h3>

Stokiometry in Chemistry learn about chemicals mainly emphasizes quantitative, such as the calculation of volume, mass, number, which is related to numbers, molecules, elements, etc.

In stoichiometry therein includes

  • 1. the relative atomic mass (Ar) is a measurement of the mass of an atom relative to the mass of 1 carbon-12 atom
  • 2. The relative molecular mass (M) is the sum of the mass of all the atomic masses that make up the molecule or is the sum of the relative atomic masses that make up the molecule

M X = (average mass of 1 molecule AxBy) / 1/12 mass 1 atom C-12

M AxBy = (x.Ar A + y. Ar B)

  • 3. Mole is a unit of the number of particles where 1 mole is the number of particles contained in a substance (atom, molecule)which is equal to atoms in 12 gr C-12

1 mol = 6.0210²³ particles

While the number of moles can also be obtained by dividing the mass (in grams) by the relative mass of the element (Ar) or the relative molecular mass (M)

mole = gram / (Ar / M)

For example

1 mole of H element contains 6.02 × 10²³ H atoms

1 mole of water contains 6.02 × 10²³ water molecules.

1 mole of KCl ion  contains 6.02 × 10²³ K⁺ ions and 6.02 × 10²³ Cl⁻ ions.

We know Butane molar mass = 58 grams / mol and mass known to be 1.5 grams so the number of moles:

mole = gram / M

mole = 1.5 / 58

mole = 0.0259

So the number of moles of C atoms in Butane is:

= 4 (valence C) x number of moles of Butane

= 4. 0.0259

= 0.1036 moles

So the number of atoms of element C is

= 0.1036 x 6.02 × 10²³

= 6,237.10 ^ 22 atoms

The most abundant of all of the isotopes of an element will be the one who's mass the mass of element is closest to. In this case, the mass of atomic carbon is closest to the mass of carbon-12.
Thus, Carbon-12 is the most abundant isotope.

Consider the following equation. 2H2(g) + O2(g) 2H2O(g); ΔH is negative. Which statement is true? The reaction is endothermic fr
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer is: Increased pressure would increase the rate of forming water vapor.

According to Le Chatelier's Principle, the position of equilibrium moves to counteract the change, the position of equilibrium will move so that the concentration of products (water waper) of chemical reaction increase, if:

1) decrease temperature, because this is exothermic reaction (ΔH is negative).

2) increase concentration of reactants (oxygen and hydrogen).

3) increase pressure of the system, so reaction moves to direction where is less molecules.
