The law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created or destroyed, hence we expect product mass to equal reactant mass.

mass of propane + mass of oxygen = mass of carbon-dioxide + water

44+x= 132+ 72\\\\=> x= (132+72)-44\\=>x= 160g

Using stochiometry, we first  write a balanced the equation

C_3H_8 + 5O_2 ==> 3CO_2 + 4H_2O

The ratio of propane to oxygen is 1:5, 1 mol propane reacts with 5 mol oxygen

First find the moles of propane using the mass of propane 44g and molecular mass of propane 44.1g/mol

44 g C_3H_8 \times\frac{mol}{44.1gC_3H_8} = 0.998mol C_3H_8

0.998mol C_3H_8 \times\frac{5 mol O_2}{1 mol C_3H_8} = 4.987 mol O_2

The grams of oxygen would be, using O_2 molecular mass 32 g/mol

4.987 mol O_2 \times\frac{g}{32 mol}= 159.6 g O_2

The answer rounded to 3 significant figures gives us 160g O_2.

The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 0.3 gm/s. What is the speed of light in meters per second?
klemol [59]

We have to convert Gm/s to m/s.

As  1 \ Gm/s = 10^9 \ m/s

Therefore the speed of light in vacuum,

c = 0.3 \ Gm/s = 0.3 \times 10^9 \ m/s \\\\ c= 3 \times 10^8 \ m/s

Thus, the speed of light in m/s is 3 \times 10^8 \ m/s

hodyreva [135]

Answer:A) Risk(R)= $1000

B) There is justification for spending an additional cost of $100 to prevent a corrosion whose consequence in monetary terms is $1000

Explanation:R= Risk,

P=Probability of failure

C= Consequence of failure

Mathematically, R=P ×C

10 out of 1000 carbon-steal products failed

Probability of failure= 10/1000 =0.01

The consequence of failure by corrosion given in monetary term =$100,000

Risk of failure = 0.01 × $100,000

R=$1000
