Answer:

The minimum mass of octane that could be left over is 43.0 grams

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of octane = 73.0 grams

Mass of oxygen = 105.0 grams

Molar mass octane = 114.23 g/mol

Molar mass oxygen = 32.0 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

2C8H18 + 25O2 → 16CO2 + 18H2O

Step 3: Calculate the number of moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles octane = 73.0 grams / 114.23 g/mol

Moles octane = 0.639 moles

Moles O2 = 105.0 grams / 32.0 g/mol

Moles O2 = 3.28 moles

Step 4: Calculate the limiting reactant

For 2 moles octane we need 25 moles O2 to produce 16 moles CO2 and 18 moles H2O

O2 is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed. (3.28 moles). There will react 3.28 / 12.5 = 0.2624 moles. There will remain 0.639 - 0.2624  = 0.3766 moles octane

Step 5: Calculate mass octane remaining

Mass octane = moles * molar mass

Mass octane = 0.3766 moles * 114.23 g/mol

Mass octane = 43.0 grams

The minimum mass of octane that could be left over is 43.0 grams

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

The central atom has 3 electron domains.

Explanation:

According to the Valence Shell electron pair repulsion theory (VSEPR) put forward by Gillespie and Nyholm in 1957, the shape of a molecule is determined by repulsion between all the electron pairs (electron domains) present in the valence shell.

The electron pairs or electron domains are known to position themselves as far apart in space as possible in order to minimize repulsions.

Hence, when the central atom of a molecule contains three electron domains, they are positioned at an angle of 120° from each other to minimize repulsions. Hence the answer.
