KMnO4 has the incorrect set of oxidation numbers. Whenever there is an alkali metal, it has an oxidation number of +1. As you can see, K is said to have an oxidation number of +2, so it is incorrect.
For the First part I believe elements naturally exist in nature and compounds are formed so elements can be more stable. (I think this is right I’m not 100% but I’m close)
For the second part the two main types of bonds are ionic and covalent. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons and covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons. (I’m 100% on this one)
Answer:
52.206 kg
Explanation:
From the given information:
Mass of hexane C6H14 =
= 7391.9 g
Mass of octane C8H18 =
= 2682.7 g
Mass of decane C10H22 =
= 9225.4 g
However, recall that:
number of moles of an atom = mass/molar mass
∴
For hexane, no of moles = 7391.9 g/86.18 g/mol
= 85.77 moles
For octane, no of moles = 2682.7 g/114.23 g/mol
= 23.49 moles
For decane, no of moles = 9225.4 g/142.29 g/mol
= 64.84 moles
Therefore:
number of moles of CO2 produced = (6 × 85.77)+(23.49)+(10×64.84) moles
= 1186.51 moles
Finally, the mass of CO2 produced is:
= 1186.51 mol × 44 g/mol
= 52206.44 g
= 52.206 kg
A metric unit for 1,000 grams, or for measuring weight!
Carbon dioxide consists of the elements Carbon (C) and Oxygen (O) and you have to have 2 oxygen.
