There are several scales to determine the weight of material. The chose of the weight scale depends upon the size of the material. Like if we have to measure the molecular or atomic weight of a molecule or atom we use gm. Like that for the bigger molecules like proteins the weight of the molecule is expressed by different scale due to its big size. Like that for big material like iron rods etc we generally use kilograms or ton. There are two types of measuring units one is C.G.S. and another is S.I. The S.I. units are more acceptable worldwide than that the C.G.S. units as the digit comes in SI units are easily handable than that of CGS.

Thus metric is used to determine a large weight of compounds which is a SI unit and handable.

The combustion of propane may be described by the chemical equation C 3 H 8 ( g ) + 5 O 2 ( g ) ⟶ 3 CO 2 ( g ) + 4 H 2 O ( g ) C

Kipish [7]

Answer: 72 grams of $O_2(g)$ are needed to completely burn 19.7 g $C_3H_8(g)$

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to molecular mass and contains avogadro's number $6.023\times 10^{23}$ of particles.

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Putting in the values we get:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{19.7g}{44g/mol}=0.45moles$

$C_3H_8(g)+5O_2(g)\rightarrow 3CO_2(g)+4H_2O(g)$

According to stoichiometry:

1 mole of $C_3H_8$ requires 5 moles of oxygen

0.45 moles of $C_3H_8$ require= $\frac{5}{1}\times 0.45=2.25$ moles of oxygen

Mass of $O_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=2.25\times 32=72g$

72 grams of $O_2(g)$ are needed to completely burn 19.7 g $C_3H_8(g)$

What is the Newman projection for Citric Acid?

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

A Newman projection, useful in alkane stereochemistry, visualizes the conformation of a chemical bond from front to back, with the front atom represented by a dot and the back carbon as a circle. The front carbon atom is called proximal, while the back atom is called distal.

In a furnace zinc is a gas but lead is a liquid. <br><br> Suggest why?

Tems11 [23]

I believe it is because, Lead has a higher boiling point than zinc. by the time Lead melts and becomes a liquid, the temperature is way higher than the boiling point of Zinc therefore, Zinc becomes a gas.
