The correct answer is:

b: Heluim

Explanation:

The caffeine contains: carbon , nitrogen , oxygen , hydrogen.

Caffeine is a primary nervous system energizer of the methylxanthine class. It is the world's most universally consumed psychoactive drug. Unlike many other psychoactive elements, it is fair and unlimited in nearly all parts of the world. Caffeine can be arranged as an alkaloid, a term used for substances originated as end results of nitrogen metabolism in some plants.

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of decane produced is $1.743\times 10^2g$

<u>Explanation:</u>

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

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ ......(1)

Mass of hydrogen gas = 2.45 g

Molar mass of hydrogen gas = 2 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1:, we get:

$\text{Moles of }H_2=\frac{2.45g}{2g/mol}=1.225mol$

The chemical equation for the hydrogenation of decene follows:

$C_{10}H_{20}(l)+H_2(g)\rightarrow C_{10}H_{22}(s)$

As, decene is present in excess. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, hydrogen gas is a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of products.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of hydrogen gas produces 1 mole of decane.

So, 1.225 moles of hydrogen gas will produce = $\frac{1}{1}\times 1.225=1.225mol$ of decane

Now, calculating the mass of decane by using equation 1, we get:

Moles of decane = 1.225 mol

Molar mass of decane = 142.30 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$1.225mol=\frac{\text{Mass of decane}}{142.30g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of carbon dioxide}=(1.225mol\times 142.30g/mol)=174.3g=1.743\times 10^2g$

Hence, the mass of decane produced is $1.743\times 10^2g$
