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)

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. the 1/2 reaction that occurs at the cathode

3Cl2(g) +6e^- -------------> 6Cl^- (aq)

2 the 1/2 reaction that occurs at the anode

2MnO2(s) + 8OH^-(aq) ----------> 2MnO4^- (aq) + 4H2O(l) +6e^-      

2MnO2(s) + 8OH^-(aq) ----------> 2MnO4^- (aq) + 4H2O(l) +6e^-

E0 = -0.59v

3Cl2(g) +6e^- -------------> 6Cl^- (aq)                                                  

E0 = 1.39v

3Cl2 (g) + 2MnO2 (s) + 8OH^(−) (aq)---------> 6Cl^(−) (aq) + 2MnO4^(−) (aq) + 4H2O (l)  

E0cell = 0.80v

Describe how water molecules can hydrate various substances
Georgia [21]

Answer:

A water molecule can react with the carbonyl group of an aldehyde or a ketone to form a substance known as a carbonyl hydrate, as shown in the first reaction below. The carbonyl hydrates usually form a very small percentage of the molecules in a sample of a specific aldehyde or ketone.
