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)

Balance the equation with the correct coefficients.
Dmitry [639]

Explanation:

In general, to balance an equation, here are the things we need to do:

Count the atoms of each element in the reactants and the products.

Use coefficients; place them in front of the compounds as needed.

The reason salt crystals, such as kcl, hold together so well is because the cations are strongly attracted to
Lynna [10]
<span>The answer is anions. Cations are positively-charged ions (in this case K+) while anions are negatively-charged ions (in this case Cl-). The ions attract each other  through electrostatic charges and arrange themselves in an ordered fashion to form a lattice</span>

Which is least likely to be reduced? <br> A. Zn^2+ <br> B. Fe^3+ <br> C. Cu^2+ <br> D. Fe^2+
alekssr [168]

A. Zn²⁺

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Cations of several elements

Required

The least to be reduced

Solution

If we look at the voltaic series:

<em>Li-K-Ba-Ca-Na-Mg-Al-Mn- (H2O) -Zn-Cr-Fe²⁺-Cd-Co-Ni-Sn-Pb- (H) -Cu-Hg-Fe³⁺-Ag-Pt-Au </em>

The electrode which is easier to reduce than the hydrogen (H2) electrode has a positive sign (E red= +) and is located to the right of the voltaic series (right of H)

The electrode which is easier to oxidize than the hydrogen (H2) electrode and is difficult to experience reduction has a negative sign (E red= -) and is located to the left of the voltaic series (left of H)

Or you can look at the standard reduction potential value of the metals in the answer options, and the most negative reduction E° value which will be difficult to reduce.

The Zn metal is located far left of the other metals in the answer choices, so it is the most difficult to reduce

You have 34.1 x 1023 molecules of O2. How many moles of O2 do you have? Fill in the grid. Then, solve the problem and answer the
denis-greek [22]

Number of moles = 5.7 moles of oxygen.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We have to convert number of molecules into number of moles by dividing the number of molecules by Avogadro's number.

Here number of molecules of oxygen given is 34.1 × 10²³ molecules.

Now we have to divide the number of molecules by Avogadro's number as,

Number of moles = $\frac{number of molecules}{Avogadro's number}

                            = $\frac{34.1}{6.022} \times \frac{10^{23} }{10^{23} }

                          = 5.7 moles

So here molecules is converted into moles.
