Answer:

The answer to your question is letter B

Explanation:

a. [: C≡C :] This option is not correct because Carbon only has 4 valence electrons and carbons in this structure have 5, this structure does not exist.

b. [: N≡N :] This option is correct because because Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons and this structure shows that number of electrons.

c. No right choice. This option is incorrect because letter B is correct.

Answer:

For a: The balanced chemical equation is given below.

For b: The mass of carbon dioxide produced will be $1.07\times 10^3g$

Explanation:

For a:

Every balanced chemical equation follows law of conservation of mass.

This law states that mass can neither be created nor can be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

This law also states that the total number of individual atoms on the reactant side must be equal to the total number of individual atoms on the product side.

For the given reaction, the balance chemical equation follows:

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

All the substances are present in gaseous state.

For b:

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of propane gas produces 3 moles of carbon dioxide gas.

So, 8.11 moles of propane gas will produce = $\frac{3}{1}\times 8.11=24.33mol$ of carbon dioxide gas.

Now, calculating the mass of carbon dioxide using equation:

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

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Moles of carbon dioxide = 24.33 mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$24.33mol=\frac{\text{Mass of carbon dioxide}}{44g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of carbon dioxide}=1070.52g$

Hence, the amount of $CO_2$ produced in the given reaction and expressed in scientific notation is $1.07\times 10^3g$

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

The mathematical equation, N = n × NA, can be used to find the number of atoms, ions or molecules in any amount (in moles) of atoms, ions or molecules: 10 moles of helium atoms = 10 × (6.022 × 1023) = 6.022 × 1024 helium atoms.
