A major component of gasoline is octane (C8H18). When octane is burned in air, it chemically reacts with oxygen gas (O2) to prod

uce carbon dioxide CO2 and water H2O. What mass of carbon dioxide is produced by the reaction of 7.58 g of octane? Please explain the answer to me like I'm five, I want to understand but the content makes no sense.

Answer:

Mass = 23.232 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of C₈H₁₈ = 7.58 g

Mass of CO₂ produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2C₈H₁₈ + 25O₂      →     16CO₂ + 18H₂O

Number of moles of octane:

Number of  moles =  mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 7.58 g/ 114.23 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.066 mol

Now we will compare the moles of CO₂ with octane from balance chemical equation.

                  C₈H₁₈            :           CO₂

                       2              :              16

                 0.066             :           16/2×0.066 = 0.528

Mass of CO₂ produced:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.528 mol × 44 g/mol

Mass = 23.232 g

What is the charge of an atom after it gains an electron during the formation of a bond?
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

<em>D. One negative charge</em>

Explanation:

During the formation of a bond, if an atom gains an electron, after that it will be left with a negative charge compared to the atom before the bond is formed. This is because in these types of bonds, which are <em>ionic bonds</em>, there is a <em>transfer of electrons between atoms</em>, there will be one or more atoms that yield electrons that will be captured by another and other atoms that gain them, and the difference of charges produced by this transfer of electrons, will cause the union to occur due to the attraction between electrostatic forces.

If you have a neutral atom before joining, and it gains an electron to form a bond,<em> it will have one electron more than its initial state</em> (in the initial state, the number of protons and electrons is the same, because the atoms they are electrically neutral), so having an extra electron will make it have a negative charge, since there will be a difference between the number of protons and electrons that the atom possesses. <em>This is why the correct answer is D. </em>

In the case of <em>response A and B</em>, <em>the atom could only remain positively charged if it loses electrons</em>, but as in this case it wins, <em>they are not correct</em>.

<em>The answer C is also not correct</em> because only one electron wins, so that it is left with two negative charges, <em>it should gain two electrons during the bond formation.</em>

If uranium-235 is bombarded with a neutron, it will temporarily become
stealth61 [152]
All atoms consist of a nucleus with protons and neutrons that is surrounded by a sea of electrons. If Uranium-235 is bombarded with a neutron then the atom's atomic number will remain the same but its mass will increase by 1 unit. Thus, it will temporarily become Uranium-236.

What is the molar mass of (NH4)3 PO4? 113g, 121g, 149g, 339g
allochka39001 [22]
(NH4)3PO4 :

N = 14 * 3 =  42
H = 1 * 12 = 12
P = 31 * 1 = 31
O = 16 * 4 = 64
-------------------------
42+12+31+64 =  149 g / mol

Hope this helps!.
