Answer:

0.800 mol

Explanation:

We have the amounts of two reactants, so this is a limiting reactant problem.  

We know that we will need a balanced equation with moles of the compounds involved.  

Step 1. <em>Gather all the information</em> in one place.

            C₃H₈ + 5O₂ ⟶ 3CO₂ + 4H₂O

n/mol:  4.00    4.00

===============

Step 2. Identify the <em>limiting reactant </em>

Calculate the <em>moles of CO₂</em> we can obtain from each reactant.  

<em>From C₃H₈:</em>

The molar ratio of CO₂: C₃H₈ is 3:1

Moles of CO₂ = 4.00 × 3/1

Moles of CO₂ = 12.0 mol CO₂

<em>From O₂</em>:

The molar ratio of CO₂: O₂ is 3:5.

Moles of CO₂ = 4.00 × ⅗

Moles of CO₂ = 2.40 mol CO₂

O₂ is the limiting reactant because it gives the smaller amount of CO₂.

==============

Step 3. Calculate the <em>moles of C₃H₈ consumed</em>.

The molar ratio of C₃H₈:O₂ is 1:5.

Moles of C₃H₈ = 4.00 × ⅕

Moles of C₃H₈ = 0.800 mol C₃H₈

If an element has 2+ valence electrons, does it transfer only one or more than one valence electrons​
just olya [345]

Answer:

element having 2+ valence electrons can transfer its more than one electron that is 2 electron completely.

Explanation:

  • Group IIA have 2+ valency and two electrons in its valance shell.
  • Its Electropositivity is  high and have the tendency to donate it two electrons.
  • Element  of IIA form ionic with most electronegative element.

Examples:

Cu²⁺, Mg²⁺, Sr²⁺ are examples having  2+ valance electron

one of the following is examples of element that have 2+ valence electrons

MgCl₂

Atomic number of Magnesium (Mg) is 12

Electronic Configuration of Mg:

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s²

or

K =2

L = 8

M = 2

So, it have to give its 2 electrons to form a stable compound.

Similarly

Chlorine atomic number is 17

Electronic Configuration of Chlorine:

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁵

or

K =2

L = 8

M = 7

So, it have to gain one electrons to form a stable compound and complete its octet.

So,

Two chlorine atom as a molecule gain 2 electrons from Mg²⁺ atom

So one Mg²⁺ and 2 Cl⁻ atoms form an ionic bond

where in this ionic bond Mg²⁺ transfer its 2 valence electron completely and chlorine molecule accept 2 electrons.

                 Cl-----Mg------Cl

So the Answer is

element having 2+ valence electrons can transfer its more than one electron that is 2 electron completely.

mamaluj [8]
True. Mitosis is a part of the call cycle when replicated chromosomes are separated into new nuclei. It is a for if eukaryotic cell division that produces two daughter cells with the same genetic components as the parent cells.

Zarrin [17]

Answer: Oxygen.

Explanation: The -ate is used for the ion that has the largest number of Oxygen atoms. The -ite would be used for the ion with the smaller amount of oxygen atoms.
