Answer:

<h2>The answer is 3.2 g/L</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

$density = \frac{mass}{volume} \\$

From the question

mass of cat = 400 g

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 125 - 100 = 25 L

The density of the cat is

$density = \frac{400}{125} = \frac{16}{5} \\$

We have the final answer as

Identify the correct coefificients to balance it<br> -C3H8+O2 to -CO2 +-H2O

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

${\rm 1\; C_3H_8} + {\rm 5\; O_2} \to {3\; \rm CO_2} + {4\; \rm H_2O}$ .

Explanation:

${\rm ?\; C_3H_8} + {\rm ?\; O_2} \to {?\; \rm CO_2} + {?\; \rm H_2O}$ .

Among the four species in this reaction, $\rm C_3H_8$ is species with the largest number of atoms per molecule. Assume that the coefficient of this compound is $1$ .

${\rm 1\; C_3H_8} + {\rm ?\; O_2} \to {?\; \rm CO_2} + {?\; \rm H_2O}$ .

Number of atoms on the left-hand side of the reaction:

$\rm C$ : $1 \times 3 = 3$ .
$\rm H$ : $1 \times 8 = 8$ .
$\rm O$ : not found yet.

By the conservation of atoms, the number of atoms on the right-hand side of the reaction should match those on the left-hand side. In this reaction, $\rm CO_2$ is the only product with carbon atoms, whereas $\rm H_2O$ is the only product with hydrogen atoms. These $3$ carbon atoms and $8$ hydrogen atoms would correspond to:

$3 / 1 = 3$ $\rm CO_2$ molecules, and
$8 / 2 = 4$ $\rm H_2O$ molecules.

${\rm 1\; C_3H_8} + {\rm ?\; O_2} \to {3\; \rm CO_2} + {4\; \rm H_2O}$ .

Number of atoms on the right-hand side of the reaction:

$\rm C$ : $3 \times 1 = 3$ .
$\rm H$ : $4 \times 2 = 8$ .
$\rm O$ : $3 \times 2 + 4 \times 1 = 10$ .

The number of $\rm O$ atoms on the left-hand side should match those on the right-hand side. In this reaction, $\rm O_2$ is the only reactant with $\rm O\!$ atoms. These $10$ $\rm \! O$ atoms would correspond to:

$5$ $\rm O_2$ molecules.

${\rm 1\; C_3H_8} + {\rm 5\; O_2} \to {3\; \rm CO_2} + {4\; \rm H_2O}$ .

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

A. 2C12H26(l) + 37O2(g) —> 24CO2(g) + 26H2O(g)

B. 761.42 L

Explanation:

A. Step 1:

The equation for the reaction.

C12H26(l) + O2(g) —> CO2(g) + H2O(g)

A. Step 2:

Balancing the equation.

The equation can be balance as follow:

C12H26(l) + O2(g) —> CO2(g) + H2O(g)

There are 12 atoms of C on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 12 in front of CO2 as illustrated below:

C12H26(l) + O2(g) —> 12CO2(g) + H2O(g)

There are 26 atoms of H on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 13 in front of H2O as illustrated below:

C12H26(l) + O2(g) —> 12CO2(g) + 13H2O(g)

Now, there are a total of 37 atoms of O2 on the right side and 2 atoms on the left. It can be balance by putting 37/2 in front of O2 as illustrated below:

C12H26(l) + 37/2O2(g) —> 12CO2(g) + 13H2O(g)

Multiply through by 2 to clear the fraction from the equation.

2C12H26(l) + 37O2(g) —> 24CO2(g) + 26H2O(g)

Now the equation is balanced

B. Step 1:

We'll by obtaining the number of mole of C12H26 in 0.450 kg of C12H26. This is illustrated below:

Molar Mass of C12H26 = (12x12) + (26x1) = 144 + 26 = 170g/mol

Mass of C12H26 = 0.450 kg = 0.450x1000 = 450g

Number of mole of C12H26 =?

Number of mole = Mass/Molar Mass

Number of mole of C12H26 = 450/170

Number of mole of C12H26 = 2.65 moles

B. Step 2:

Determination of the number of mole of CO2 produced by the reaction. This is illustrated below:

2C12H26(l) + 37O2(g) —> 24CO2(g) + 26H2O(g)

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of C12H26 produced 24 moles of CO2.

Therefore, 2.65 moles of C12H26 will produce = (2.65x24)/2 = 31.8 moles of CO2.

B. Step 3:

Determination of the volume of CO2 produced by the reaction.

Pressure (P) = 1 atm

Temperature (T) = 19°C = 19°C + 273 = 292K

Gas constant (R) = 0.082atm.L/Kmol

Number of mole (n) = 31.8 moles

Volume (V) =?

The volume of CO2 produced by the reaction can b obtained by applying the ideal gas equation as follow:

PV = nRT

1 x V = 31.8 x 0.082 x 292

V = 761.42 L

Therefore, the volume of CO2 produced is 761.42 L
