When it is acted upon by an outside force
The information that the coefficients of a balanced equation give about the reactants are to tell how many moles of reactants are needed and how many moles of product can be produced.
The answer is: the mass of carbon is 420.6 grams.
m(C₈H₁₈) = 500 g; mass of octane.
M(C₈H₁₈) = 114.22 g/mol; molar mass of octane.
n(C₈H₁₈) = m(C₈H₁₈) ÷ M(C₈H₁₈).
n(C₈H₁₈) = 500 g ÷ 114.22 g/mol.
n(C₈H₁₈) = 4.38 mol; amount of octane.
In one molecule of octane, there are eight carbon atoms:
n(C) = 8 · n(C₈H₁₈).
n(C) = 8 · 4.38 mol.
n(C) = 35.02 mol; amount of carbon.
m(C) = 35.02 mol · 12.01 g/mol.
m(C) = 420.6 g; mass of carbone.
Students performed a procedure similar to Part II of this
experiment (Analyzing Juices for Vitamin C Content) as described in the
procedure section. Given that molarity of DCP is 9.98x10-4 M, it took 16.34 ml
of DCP to titrate 10 mL of sample.
Amount of ascorbic acid = 0.050 L sample (0.01634 L DCP/0.01
L sample)( 9.98x10-4 mol DCP/L DCP)(1 mol Ascorbic acid/ 1mol DCP)(176.124
g/mol)(1000mg/1g)= 14.36 mg ascorbic acid
