Answer:

The energy levels in an atom are similar to the rungs of a ladder, but they get closer together as they get farther from the nucleus. For an electron to move from one energy level to the next higher level, it must gain the right amount of energy. If less than that amount is available, the electron stays where it is.

Answer:

The electrons are always moving around and therefore it is not a change in energy if the electron does move closer to the nucleus.

How many grams of octane (C8H18) must be burned to produce 300.0g of CO2?

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

$m_{C_8H_{18}}=85.67gC_8H_{18}$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given combustion reaction of octane, it is possible for us to perform the stoichiometric method in order to calculate the mass of octane that is required to consume 300.0 g of oxygen by considering the 2:25 mole ratio, and the molar masses of 114.22 g/mol and 32.00 g/mol respectively:

$m_{C_8H_{18}}=300.0gO_2*\frac{1molO_2}{32.00gO_2}*\frac{2molC_8H_{18}}{25molO_2}*\frac{114.22gC_8H_{18}}{1molC_8H_{18}} \\\\m_{C_8H_{18}}=85.67gC_8H_{18}$
