Answer:

176g

Explanation:

To appropriately answer this question, we will need to write a complete chemical equation . Firstly what do we know? We know that the molecule given in the question is a hydrocarbon and it burns in oxygen to form carbon iv oxide and water. The reaction equation is written below:

C3H8(g)+5O2(g) --> 3CO2(g)+4H2O(g)

From the equation, we can see that one mole of propane needed 5 moles of oxygen for complete combustion. This is the theoretical relation. Let us find the actual number of moles of propane that burned.

To calculate this, what we simply do is to disburse the mass of propane by the molar mass of propane. The molar mass of propane here is 3(12) + 8(1) = 36 + 8 = 44g/mol

The number of moles of propane is thus = 48.5/44 = 1.102 moles.

Now since one mole of propane needed 5 moles of oxygen , this means 1.102 moles of propane will need 5 * 1.102 moles of oxygen = 5.5 moles

We then proceed to calculate the mass of oxygen gas needed.

The mass of oxygen gas needed equals the number of moles multiplied by the molecular mass of the oxygen molecule. The molecular mass of the oxygen molecule is 2(16) = 32g/mol

The mass needed is thus 5.5 * 32 = 176g

Answer:

g O2(g) = 175.964 g

Explanation:

  • C3H8(g) + 5O2(g) → 3CO2(g) + 4H2O

                               3 - C - 3

                               10 - O - 10

                               8 - H - 8

∴ Mw C3H8(g) = 44.1 g/mol

⇒ n C3H8(g) = (48.5 g C3H8(g))×(mol C3H8/44.1 g C3H8) = 1.0997 mol C3H8

⇒ n O2(g) = (1.0997 mol C3H8)×( 5 mol O2(g)/mol C3H8(g) ) = 5.4988 mol O2(g)

∴ Mw O2(g) ≅ 32 g/mol

⇒ g O2(g) = (5.4988 mol O2(g))×( 32 g O2(g) /mol ) = 175.964 g O2(g)

If a penny (with the this volume .39 cm^3) was made out of pure copper, what should its mass be?
blondinia [14]

Answer:

  3.49 g

Explanation:

The mass is the product of volume and density:

  (8.96 g/cm³)(0.39 cm³) ≈ 3.49 g

The mass of a pure-copper penny would be 3.49 g.

If a lab requires each lab group to have 25ml of a solution and it takes 15 grams of CuNO3 to make 1 liter of solution how many
tino4ka555 [31]

We need to do some general algebra here.

We will find that you need 8.25 grams of CuNO₃ to make enough solution for the 22 labs.

<em>We know that:</em>

  • Each lab group needs 25 ml of solution.
  • it takes 15 g of CuNO₃ to make one L of that solution.
  • There are 22 labs.

Because each lab needs 25 ml of solution, 22 labs will need that amount 22 times, so the <u>total amount of solution needed</u> is:

22*25ml = 550 ml

Now we know that we need 15 grams to make one liter of solution, and:

1 L = 1000ml

Then you need 15g to make 1000ml

and x (we want to find this amount) to make 550ml

Then we can write two equations (not actual equations, as these are different units) like:

x = 550ml

15g = 1000ml

Now we can take the quotient between these two equations:

x/15 g = (550ml/1000ml)

And now we can solve this for x:

x = (550ml/1000ml)*15g = 8.25g

So you need 8.25 grams of CuNO₃ to make enough solution for the 22 labs.
