The exact molecular mass for butane (C4H10) is 
12.0096*4+1.0079*10=58.1174  which is 58.1 to 3 significant figures.

Proportion of carbon in the compound
12.0096*4: 58.1174
=>
48.0384 : 58.1174

The mass of carbon in 2.50 grams of butane can be obtained by proportion, namely
Mass of carbon
= 2.50 * (48.0384/58.1174)
= 2.0664
= 2.07 g (approximated to 3 significant figures)

Which statement is correct regarding the reaction ?
larisa86 [58]

The true statement is that after reaching equilibrium, the rate of forming products and reactants is the same.

<h3>What is true about the given reaction?</h3>

The given reaction shows a reaction between A and B to form CD

The reaction is a reversible reaction.

A reversible reaction is a reaction which can proceed in either of two ways where the reactants can react to form the product and also the products an break down to form the reactants.

In the reaction given, as the concentration of A and b decreases, the concentration of CD increases and vice versa.

At equilibrium, the rate of formation of CD is equal to the the rate of decomposition of CD.

Therefore, the true statement is that after reaching equilibrium, the rate of forming products and reactants is the same.

In conclusion, a reaction at equilibrium has the forward and backward reactions occurring at the sane rate.

What types of atoms typically form covalent bonds?
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

In a covalent bond, the atoms bond by sharing electrons. Covalent bonds usually occur between nonmetals. For example, in water (H2O) each hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) share a pair of electrons to make a molecule of two hydrogen atoms single bonded to a single oxygen atom.
