Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{31.8 g CO}_{2}}

Explanation:

We are given the masses of two reactants and asked to determine the mass of the product.

This looks like a limiting reactant problem.

1. Assemble the information

We will need a balanced equation with masses and molar masses, so let’s gather all the information in one place.  

MM:         114.23     32.00      44.01

               2C₈H₁₈ + 25O₂ ⟶ 16CO₂ + 18H₂O

Mass/g:     10.3        69.  

2. Calculate the moles of each reactant

\text{Moles of C$_{8}$H$_{18}$} = \text{10.3 g C$_{8}$H$_{18}$} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol C$_{8}$H$_{18}$}}{\text{114.23 mol C$_{8}$H$_{18}$}} = \text{0.090 17 mol C$_{8}$H$_{18}$}\\\\\text{Moles of O$_{2}$} = \text{69. g O}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol O$_{2}$}}{\text{32.00 g O$_{2}$}} = \text{2.16 mol O$_{2}$}

3. Calculate the moles of CO₂ from each reactant

\textbf{From C$_{8}$H$_{18}$:}\\\text{Moles of CO$_{2}$} =  \text{0.090 17 mol C$_{8}$H$_{18}$} \times \dfrac{\text{16 mol CO$_{2}$}}{\text{2 mol C$_{8}$H$_{18}$}} = \text{0.7214 mol CO}_{2}\\\\\textbf{From O$_{2}$:}\\\text{Moles of CO$_{2}$} =\text{2.16 molO$_{2}$} \times \dfrac{\text{16 mol CO$_{2}$}}{\text{25 mol O$_{2}$}} = \text{1.38 mol CO$_{2}$}\\\\\text{Octane is the limiting reactant because it gives fewer moles of CO$_{2}$.}

4. Calculate the mass of CO₂

\text{ Mass of CO$_{2}$} = \text{0.7214 mol CO$_{2}$} \times \dfrac{\text{44.01 g CO$_{2}$}}{\text{1 mol CO$_{2}$}} = \textbf{31.8 g CO}_\mathbf{{2}}\\\\\text{The reaction produces $\large \boxed{\textbf{31.8 g CO}_\mathbf{{2}}}$}

An aqueous solution of potassium sulfate (K2SO4) has a freezing point of -2.24
iragen [17]
An aqueous solution of potassium sulfate exhibits colligative properties. Colligative properties are properties that depends on the concentration of a substance in a solution. These properties are freezing point depression, vapor pressure lowering, osmotic pressure and boiling point elevation. For this problem we use the concept of freezing point depression since we are given the freezing point of the solution. Freezing point depression is as:
 
ΔT = -k(f) x m x i
-2.24 - 0 = -1.86 x m x 3
<span>m = 0.4014

Thus, the molality of the solution is 0.4014.</span>

what is the difference between the number of electrons in an atom of selenium and the number of electrons in an atom of aluminum
igomit [66]

Answer:

The atomic number of Selenium is 34. This means that Selenium possesses 34 electrons.

The atomic number of Aluminium is 13. This means that Aluminium has 13 electrons.

Hence, there is a difference of 21 between the number of electrons in an atom of selenium and the number of electrons in an atom of aluminium.

Selenium has 6 electrons in it's outer most shell whereas aluminium has 3 electrons in its outer most shell. As a result, aluminium will have a greater tendency to lose one of its outer most electrons to become stable.

Whoever awser correct I will give you Brainly
vivado [14]

Answer:

Option A.

2Na + 2H2O —> 2NaOH + H2

Explanation:

To know which option is correct, we shall do a head count of the number of atoms present on both side to see which of them is balanced. This is illustrated below below:

For Option A:

2Na + 2H2O —> 2NaOH + H2

Reactant >>>>>>> Product

2 Na >>>>>>>>>>> 2 Na

4 H >>>>>>>>>>>> 4 H

2 O >>>>>>>>>>>> 2 O

Thus, the above equation is balanced.

For Option B:

2Na + 2H2O —> NaOH + H2

Reactant >>>>>>> Product

2 Na >>>>>>>>>>> 1 Na

4 H >>>>>>>>>>>> 3 H

2 O >>>>>>>>>>>> 1 O

Thus, the above equation is not balanced.

For Option C:

2Na + H2O —> 2NaOH + H2

Reactant >>>>>>> Product

2 Na >>>>>>>>>>> 2 Na

2 H >>>>>>>>>>>> 4 H

1 O >>>>>>>>>>>> 2 O

Thus, the above equation is not balanced.

For Option D:

Na + 2H2O —> NaOH + 2H2

Reactant >>>>>>> Product

1 Na >>>>>>>>>>> 1 Na

4 H >>>>>>>>>>>> 5 H

2 O >>>>>>>>>>>> 1 O

Thus, the above equation is not balanced.

From the illustrations made above, only option A is balanced.
