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)

above shows a balloon full of gas which has a volume of 120.0ml at 300.0k assuming pressure remains constant , what is the voume
trasher [3.6K]

128 ml  is the voume of the balloon if the temperature of the gas increases to 320.0k.

Explanation:

given that:

T1 (initial temperature) = 300K

V1 ( initial volume) =  120ml

T2 (final temperature) = 320 K

V2 (final volume) = ?

Pressure remained constant throughout the process.

From the equation

\frac{P1V1}{T1} = \frac{P2V2}{T2}

Since pressure is constant the equation will be:

\frac{V1}{T1} = \frac{V2}{T2}

V2 = \frac{V1 X T2}{T1}

    Putting the values in the above formula:

V2 = \frac{120 X 320}{300}

     = 128 ml

128 ml is the volume of the gas if temperature increases from 3OO K to 320k

If a neutral compound is composed of carbon and hydrogen and you know that it has exactly 2 carbons connected by a double bond,
Oksanka [162]

Answer: 4 hydrogens

Explanation:

This is what the structure will look like C=C. Remember that it's important that all structures have a complete octet. As it looks right now each carbon is sharing 4 valence electrons so each needs 2 more bonds to hydrogen complete its octet.
