When a molecule is broken down into its constituent atoms, these atoms do not have the same properties as the molecule.
We can use an everyday molecule, such as water, H20, to show this property. Water is a liquid with unique properties that stem from its hydrogen bonding. On the other hand, its constituent atoms, hydrogen and oxygen, are not liquids, and have very different properties. Oxygen and hydrogen are both gases; hydrogen is dangerous and very flammable, while we breathe in oxygen throughout our lives. This example illustrates how the atoms that make up a molecule usually have different properties than the completed molecule.
Hope this helps!
Well you didnt give me enough information so i cant really answer your question
Answer:
520 kg
Explanation:
Let's consider the combustion of isooctane.
C₈H₁₈(l) + 12.5 O₂(g) → 8 CO₂(g) + 9 H₂O(l)
We can establish the following relations:
- 1 mL of C₈H₁₈ has a mass of 0.690 g (ρ = 0.690 g/mL).
- The molar mass of C₈H₁₈ is 114.22 g/mol.
- The molar ratio of C₈H₁₈ to O₂ is 1:12.5.
- The mole fraction of O₂ in air is 0.21.
- The molar mass of air is 28.96 g/mol.
50 L of isooctane require the following mass of air.
