The combustion of propane may be described by the chemical equation C 3 H 8 ( g ) + 5 O 2 ( g ) ⟶ 3 CO 2 ( g ) + 4 H 2 O ( g ) C
Kipish [7]

Answer: 72 grams of O_2(g) are needed to completely burn 19.7 g C_3H_8(g)

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to molecular mass and contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Putting in the values we get:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{19.7g}{44g/mol}=0.45moles

C_3H_8(g)+5O_2(g)\rightarrow 3CO_2(g)+4H_2O(g)

According to stoichiometry:

1 mole of C_3H_8 requires 5 moles of oxygen

0.45 moles of C_3H_8 require= \frac{5}{1}\times 0.45=2.25 moles of oxygen

Mass of O_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=2.25\times 32=72g

72 grams of O_2(g) are needed to completely burn 19.7 g C_3H_8(g)

Comment on whether each of the following is a homogeneous mixture or a heterogeneous mixture: (a) air in a closed bottle, (b) ai
Colt1911 [192]

Explanation:

A mixture in which there is uniform distribution of solute particles into the solvent is known as a homogeneous mixture.

For example, sugar dissolved in water is a homogeneous mixture.

On the other hand, a mixture in which there is uneven distribution of solute particles into the solvent is known as a heterogeneous mixture.

For example, sand present in water is a heterogeneous mixture.

Comment on given situations will be as follows.

(a)   Air in a closed bottle - It is a homogeneous mixture because there will be even distribution of other gases that are present in air.

(b)   Air over New York City - It is a heterogeneous mixture because there will be presence of some dust particles, fog or smoke into the air. Distribution of all these particles will be uneven. This will make air over New York City heterogeneous in nature.
