In 1917, Rutherford discovered something new, he bombarded alpha particles on nitrogen gas and noticed that occasionally an oxygen atom is produced. From this he concluded that the alpha particles removes proton from the nucleus (positively charged particle). He named this playing with marbles and he become the first one to split an atom. Thus, by bombarding nitrogen with alpha particles, he observed the production of oxygen, a different element.

Therefore, he said bombarding atoms with particles is similar to playing with marbles.

calculate the mass of butane needed to produce 64.1 g of carbon dioxide to three significant figures and appropriate units
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

21.2 gm

Explanation:

calculate the mass of butane needed to produce 64.1 g of carbon dioxide to three significant figures and appropriate units

butane is the hydrocarbon C4H10  

in combustion, we react hydrocarbons with O2 to form CO2 and H2O

so

C4H10  + O2---------------->  CO2 + H2O

BALANCE

2C4H10 + 1302--------> 8CO2 + 10 H2O

the molar mass of CO2 is 12 + 16X2 = 44

64.1 gm of CO2 is

64.1/44 = 1.46 MOLES OF  CO2,

FOR EVERY 8 MOLES OF CO2 WE NEED 2 MOLES OF BUTANE  IT IS A

8:2 OR 4:1 RATIO.  THE MOLES OF C4H10 ARE 1/4 THE MOLES OF CO2

SO

THE MOLES OF C4H10 H10 ARE 1.46/4 =0.365 MOLES

THE MOLAR MASS OF BUTANE IS 58.12

0.365 MOLES OF C4H10 HAS A MASS OF 0.365 X 58.12 = 21.2 gm

Which coefficients will balance the following reaction:
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

C ) 2, 1, 2

Explanation:

The given reaction is synthesis reaction in which lithium and bromine react to form lithium bromide.

Chemical equation:

Li + Br₂    →    LiBr

Balanced chemical equation:

2Li + Br₂    →    2LiBr

Step 1:

Li + Br₂    →    LiBr

left hand side                         Right hand side

Li = 1                                        Li = 1

Br = 2                                        Br = 1

Step 2:

Li + Br₂    →    2LiBr

left hand side                         Right hand side

Li = 1                                        Li = 2

Br = 2                                        Br = 2

Step 3:

2Li + Br₂    →    2LiBr

left hand side                         Right hand side

Li = 2                                       Li = 2

Br = 2                                        Br = 2
