Of those listed, speed is a scalar for sure. It is defined that way.
 
Acceleration could be if it is defined in terms of speed, but the direction is always inferred. So acceleration is a vector whether or not the direction is given or not. It is never a scalar. This is the hardest one to classify, but don't be fooled. The other two are vectors. Weight is a force going in the direction of gravitational attraction and Centripetal force points towards the center.

Answer:

The correct answer is option 3.

Explanation:

Scalar quantity is the quantity with magnitude but no direction.

For example : mass, speed etc.

Vector quantity is the quantity with magnitude along with the direction.

For example : velocity, acceleration etc.

Speed is a scalar quantity as it does not have any direction but only magnitude.

Where as :

Centripetal force and weight is type of force. A force is generally a product of mass and acceleration of the object. And as we know that acceleration depends upon velocity of the object which is vector quantity. Hence, it will be correct to say that centripetal force is a vector quantity.

Weight and acceleration are also vector quantities.

2C4H10(g)+13O2(g)→8CO2(g)+10H2O(g) Complete the following table
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

1. 0.421 g (C₄H₁₀), 1.51 g (O₂), 1.28 g (CO₂), 0.653 g (H₂O)

2. 4.92 g (C₄H₁₀), 17.6 g (O₂), 14.9 g (CO₂), 7.63 g (H₂O)

3. 6.63 g (C₄H₁₀), 23.7 g (O₂), 20.12 g (CO₂), 10.3 g (H₂O)

4. 7.12 g (C₄H₁₀), 12.1 g (O₂), 10.2 g (CO₂), 8.84 g (H₂O)

5. 252 mg (C₄H₁₀), 903 mg (O₂), 763 mg (CO₂), 390 mg (H₂O)

6. 65 mg (C₄H₁₀), 234 mg (O₂), 198 mg (CO₂), 101 mg (H₂O)

Explanation:

1. First of all, we determine the moles of each reactant.

For the first case:

1.51 g . 1 mol/32 g = 0.0472 moles

Ratio is 13:2, 13 moles of oxygen needs 2 moles of C₄H₁₀ for the combustion,

Therefore 0.0472 mol will react with (0.0472 . 2)/13 = 7.26×10⁻³ mol.

Now we convert the moles to mass:

7.26×10⁻³ mol . 58 g/ 1mol = 0.421 g

Now we use stoichiometry to find the mass of the products.

Ratio is 13:8:10.

13 moles of oxygen can produce 8 moles of CO₂ and 10 moles of water

Then, 0.0472 mol would produce:

(0.0472 . 8)/13 = 0.0290 mol

We convert the moles to mass → 0.0290 mol . 44g /mol = 1.28 g

(0.0472 . 10)/13 = 0.0363 mol

We convert the moles to mass → 0.0363 mol . 18 g /1mol = 0.653 g

2. 4.92 g / 58 g/mol = 0.0848 moles of C₄H₁₀

2 moles of C₄H₁₀ react with 13 moles of O₂

So, 0.0848 moles will react with (0.0848 . 13) / 2 = 0.551 moles

We convert to mass: 0.551 mol . 32 g /mol = 17.6 g

Now we use stoichiometry to find the mass of the products.

Ratio is 13:8:10.

0.551 moles of O₂ will produce:

(0.551 . 8)/13 = 0.339 mol of CO₂

We convert to mass: 0.339 mol . 44g / mol =  14.9 g

(0.551 . 10)/13 = 0.424 mol of H₂O

0.424 mol . 18 g /mol = 7.63 g

3. In this case, we have the mass of one of the product

20.12 g . 1mol / 44 g = 0.457 moles of CO₂

According to stoichiometry:

8 moles of CO₂ are produced by the reaction of 13 moles of O₂ and 2 moles of C₄H₁₀

Then, 0.457 moles of CO₂ would be produced by:

(0.457 . 13)/ 8 = 0.743 moles of O₂

We convert to mass: 0.743 mol . 32 g/1mol = 23.7 g

(0.457 . 2)/8 = 0.114 moles of C₄H₁₀

We convert to mass: 0.114 mol . 58g/mol = 6.63g

Now we can determine, the mass of produced water:

(0.743 . 10)/13 = 0.571 mol of H₂O . 18g /mol = 10.3 g

4. We convert the moles of water:

8.84 g / 18g/mol = 0.491 moles

According to stoichiometry: 10 moles of water are produced by 13 moles of O₂ and 2 moles of C₄H₁₀

Then 0.491 moles will be produced by:

(0.491 . 10)/ 13 = 0.378 moles of O₂

We convert to mass: 0.378 mol . 32 g/1mol = 12.1 g

(0.491 . 2)/8 = 0.123 moles of C₄H₁₀

We convert to mass: 0.123 mol . 58g/mol = 7.12g

Now we can determine, the mass of produced carbon dioxide:

(0.378 . 8)/13 = 0.232 mol of CO₂ . 44g /mol = 10.2 g

5. Mass of mg, must be converted to grams

252 mg . 1 g/1000 mg = 0.252 g

It is the same as 2.

0.252 g of C₄H₁₀ . 1mol/58 g = 4.34×10⁻³ mol

2 mol of C₄H₁₀ react to 13 moles of O₂ then,

4.34×10⁻³ mol will react with (4.34×10⁻³ mol . 13) / 2 = 0.0282 mol

We convert the grams → 0.0282 mol . 32 g/mol = 0.903 g (903 mg)

0.0282 mol of oxygen will produced:

(0.0282 . 8)/13 = 0.0173 mol of CO₂

We convert to mass: 0.0173 mol . 44g / mol =  0.763 g (763 mg)

(0.0282 . 10)/13 = 0.0217 mol of H₂O

0.0217 mol . 18 g /mol = 0.390 g  (390 mg)

6. We define the mass of CO₂ → 198 mg . 1g/1000 mg = 0.198 g

0.198 g / 44g/mol = 4.5×10⁻³ moles of CO₂

According to stoichiometry:

8 moles of CO₂ are produced by the reaction of 13 moles of O₂ and 2 moles of C₄H₁₀

Then, 4.5×10⁻³ moles of CO₂ would be produced by:

(4.5×10⁻³ . 13)/ 8 = 7.31×10⁻³ moles of O₂

We convert to mass: 7.31×10⁻³ . 32 g/1mol = 0.234 g (234 mg)

(4.5×10⁻³ . 2)/8 = 1.125×10⁻³ moles of C₄H₁₀

We convert to mass: 1.125×10⁻³ mol . 58g/mol = 0.065 g (65 mg)

Now we can determine, the mass of produced water:

(7.31×10⁻³ . 10)/13 = 5.62×10⁻³ mol of H₂O . 18g /mol = 0.101 g (101 mg)
