Answer:
First confirm the reaction is balanced:
C3H8 + 5O2 --> 3CO2 + 4H20 (3 cabon - check; 8 hydrogen - check; 10 oxygen - check).
a) In the equation there is a 5:1 ratio between propane and oxygen. We also know that number of mole is proportional to pressure and volume. Since pressure is constant (STP) then the volume of O2 is 7.2 * 5 = 36 litres.
b) For a near ideal gas that PV = nRT (combined gas law). So for 7.2 litres propane we find n(propane) = 101.3 * 7.2/8.314*298 ~ 0.29 mole (using metric units throughout for simplicity).
There is a 1:3 ratio between propane and CO2. Therefore 3 * 0.29 = 0.87 mole of CO2 is produced.
MW(CO2) ~ 44 g/mol. Therefore m(CO2) = 44 * 0.87 ~ 38.3 g
c) We know we need more oxygen than propane (due to the 1:5 ratio) so oxygen is the limiting reagent. Again Volume is proportional to number of mole and we see there is a 5:4 ratio between oxygen and water. Therefore the volume of water vapour produced will be (4/5) * 15 = 12 litres.
The other questions use the same technique and will give you some much needed practice.
Explanation:
It is d. compounds because they have more than one element.
There’s lots of measurements. (m, kg, s, mol, cm, in, mm) etc
Microscope = It enables small things to paper bigger, thus enabling us to understand at a microscopic level, thus improving our understand of HOW it happens
