Answer:

Propane

Explanation:

From the question given, we were told that 0.1240 kg of propane reacted with excess oxygen to produce 0.3110kg of carbon dioxide.

Since the reaction took place in the presence of excess oxygen, therefore, propane is the limiting reactant as all of it is used up in the presence of excess oxygen.

Answer:

The limiting reactant is propane, C₃H₈ and the percentage yield is 83.77%

Explanation:

Mass of propane = 0.1240 kg = 124 g

Mass of carbon dioxide = 0.3110 kg = 311 g

Molar mass of propane = 44.1 g/mol

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44.01 g/mol

Number of moles of propane = 124/44.1 = 2.812 moles

Number of moles of carbon dioxide = 311/44.01 = 7.067 moles

Equation for the reaction

C₃H₈ + 5O₂ → 3CO₂ + 4H₂O

Hence 1 mole of propane ideally yields 3 moles of CO₂

Hence, 2.812 moles of propane will yield 3×2.812 moles = 8.44 moles of CO₂

Since, oxygen is in excess, therefore, the limiting reactant = Propane, C₃H₈

The percentage yield = 7.067/8.44× 100 = 83.77%.

The number of particles of 0.2<br> mole​
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

There are 1.205x10²³ particles in 0.2 moles.

Explanation:

In order to <u>convert from moles to number of particles</u> we need to use <em>Avogadro's number</em>, which states the number of particles contained in 1 mol:

  • 0.2 mol * 6.023x10²³ particles /mol = 1.205x10²³ particles

Thus, there are 1.205x10²³ particles in 0.2 moles.

Which type of chemical bond involves the exchange of electrons
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

Ionic or Electrovalent Bonding

Explanation:

There are primarily two categories of bonding between chemical entities. We have; Ionic Bonding and Covalent Bonding.

Ionic bonding or electrovalent bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. There is the transfer of electron from typically a metal to a non metal.

Covalent Bonding however involves the sharing of electrons between atoms. Depending on whuch atoms provide the electrons, it can be ordinary covalent oor coordinate covelent bond.

2. Why is the lonic compound Nacl (table salt) able to dissolve in a glass of the molecular compound water (H20)? (3 points)
melomori [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is C ions from the solute molecules have a strong attraction to the polar solvent molecules.

Explanation:

NaCl or Sodium chloride is an ionic compound which easily get dissolved in polar molecular compound such as water(H2O).

      Both NaCl and H2O are polar compound because the atoms that forms NaCl and H2O have vast difference in their electronegativities.As a result the bonding electrons in both NaCl and H2O are not equally shared.

     NaCl get dissolved in water molecules by dipole dipole interaction.
