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 best describes nuclear energy?
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

The correct answer is - D.  the energy stored inside the center of an atom.

Explanation:

Each atom has a small center in it called the nucleus and the energy that holds the nucleus or center of the atom together in the atom is known as nuclear energy.

It is the energy that is stored in the center of the atom and normally does not come out, however, in some radioactive atoms the sends some part of the energy as radiation.

Thus, the correct answer is - D.  the energy stored inside the center of an atom.

Balance the equation for the reaction of benzene and hydrogen to form cyclohexane.. C6H6 + H2 → C6H12.
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
Here is a universal law to balance chemical equations :
All chemical equations must be balanced because of the law of conservation of mass.
It states that "matter cannot be created or destroyed."
So, the number of atoms that you start with at the beginning of the reaction must equal the number of atoms that you end up with.
 keeping this law in our mind,lets balance the<span> equation for the reaction of benzene and hydrogen to form cyclohexane.

Here is the balance chemical equation.
