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)

3. A student measured 15.0 grams of ice in a beaker. The beaker was then
gregori [183]

Answer:

The heat that was used to melt the 15.0 grams of ice at 0°C is 4,950 Joules

Explanation:

The mass of ice in the beaker = 15.0 grams

The initial temperature of the ice = 0°C

The final temperature of the ice = 0°C

The latent heat of fusion of ice = 330 J/g

The heat required to melt a given mass of ice = The mass of the ice to be melted × The latent heat of fusion of ice

Therefore, the heat, Q, required to melt 15.0 g of ice = 15.0 g × 330 J/g = 4,950 J

The heat that was used to melt the 15.0 grams of ice = 4,950 Joules.

What are the Lewis definitions of an acid and a base? In what way are Bronsted definitions? they more general than the In terms
kati45 [8]

Explanation:

Lewis definition of Acids and Bases

Chemical species which are capable of accepting electron pairs or donating protons are called Lewis acid.

Chemical species which are capable of donating electron pairs or accepting protons are called Lewis base.

Bronsted definition of acids and bases

Chemical species which are capable of donating H+ are called Bronsted acids.

Chemical species which are capable of accepting H+ are called Bronsted bases.

So all Bronsted acids are Lewis acids but all Lewis acids are not Bronsted acids.

For a chemical species to behave as Lewis acid, they must have:

  • Incomplete octet
  • Double bond
  • Vacant d-orbitals

For example, in BF3, octet of boron is incomplete, so it can accept a pair of electron and behaves as Lewis acid.

For a chemical species to behave as Lewis base, they must have:

  • lone pair of electrons

For example, NH3 and OH, both N and O have lone pairs of electrons, hence behave as Lewis base.

What is the H+ concentration for an aqueous solution with pOH = 4.01 at 25 ∘C? Express your answer to two significant figures an
EleoNora [17]

I believe pH = -log[H+]

Also, 14 = pH + pOH

Therefore pH = 14 - pOH

pH = 14 - 4.01

pH = 9.99

9.99 = -log[H+]

Solve for H+

0.28gram of NH3 on decomposition gave 0.25gram of nitrogen and hydrogen. Find the volume of hydrogen evolved at Ntp. (2gram hydr
hodyreva [135]

The volume of H₂ evolved at NTP=0.336 L

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Reaction

Decomposition of NH₃

2NH₃ ⇒ N₂ + 3H₂

conservation mass : mass reactants=mass product

0.28 NH₃= 0.25 N₂ + 0.03 H₂

2 g H₂ = 22.4 L

so for 0.03 g :

\tt \dfrac{0.03}{2}\times 22.4=0.336

1. Describe a procedure to separate a mixture of salt, sand, and water.
Brilliant_brown [7]
1.  A filter was used to separate the sand from the salt water solution (The process of decanting was used if a filer was not available).
2.  A Bunsen burner was used to boil away the water from the salt water solution leaving only salt.

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.
