The first thing you need to do is calculate the molar mass of C4H10. To do this, look at a periodic table for the atomic mass of carbon and hydrogen. For Hydrogen it's 1.008 amu. For Carbon its 12.01 amu. This means that a mole of hydrogen has a mass of 1.008 amu. So to calculate the molar mass of C4H10:

atomic mass of H * number of H atoms in one molecule + atomic mass of C * number of C atoms in one molecule
1.008 * 10 + 4 * 12.01
= 58.12 g

So one mole of C4H10 would have a mass of 58.12 g.

Now you were told to find the number of moles for 2.50 g, so you need to change 2.50g into moles

2.50g *1 mole/ 58.12 g = .043014 moles of C4H10

You know that for every mole of C4H10, there are 4 moles of Carbon

so
.043014 mole C4H10 * 4 mole C/1 mole C4H10 = .172 mol C
Now to find the number of atoms, use avogadros numbe5r

6.022 * 10^23 * .17 mol = 1.024 × 10^23 atoms your answer.The first thing you need to do is calculate the molar mass of C4H10.

Answer:

Do you have 1,04 ×10²³ carbon atoms in 2,50g of butane.

Explanation:

  • With molecular weight you can know how many moles do you have from a quantity of grams:

2,50 g  ₓ ( 1 mol butane / 58,1 g ) = 0,043 moles of butane

  • With moles and Avogadro number you can obtain the number of molecules, in this case, of butane:

0,043 moles of butane × ( 6,022×10²³ molecules / 1 mol ) =

2,59 ×10²² molecules of butane

  • Knowing a molecule of butane has four carbon atoms ( molecular formula of butane is C₄H₁₀) you can obtain the number of carbon atoms:

2,59 ₓ 10 ²² molecules of butane ( 4 carbon atoms / 1 molecule of butane ) =

1,04 ×10²³ carbon atoms

I hope it helps!

Alja [10]

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question and an image is attached below.

The following diagrams represent mixtures of NO(g) and O₂(g). These two substances react as follows:

2NO(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2NO_2(g)

It has been determined experimentally that the rate is second order in NO and first order in O₂.

Based on this fact, which of the following mixtures will have the fastest initial rate?

The mixture (1). The mixture (2). The mixture (3).

Answer : The mixture 1 has the fastest initial rate.

Explanation :

The given chemical reaction is:

2NO(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2NO_2(g)

The rate law expression is:

Rate=k[NO]^2[O_2]

Now we have to determine the number of molecules of NO\text{ and }O_2

In mixture 1 : There are 5 NO and 4 O_2 molecules.

In mixture 2 : There are 7 NO and 2 O_2 molecules.

In mixture 3 : There are 3 NO and 5 O_2 molecules.

Now we have to determine the rate law expression for mixture 1, 2 and 3.

The rate law expression for mixture 1 is:

Rate=k[NO]^2[O_2]

Rate=k(5)^2\times (4)

Rate=k(100)

The rate law expression for mixture 2 is:

Rate=k[NO]^2[O_2]

Rate=k(7)^2\times (2)

Rate=k(98)

The rate law expression for mixture 3 is:

Rate=k[NO]^2[O_2]

Rate=k(3)^2\times (5)

Rate=k(45)

Hence, the mixture 1 has the fastest initial rate.

Please help I will mark you brainiest
arlik [135]

Answer:asexual- Energy is not required to find a mate. Offspring are genetic clones. A negative mutation can make asexually produced organisms susceptible to disease and can destroy large numbers of offspring. Some methods of asexual reproduction produce offspring that are close together and compete for food and space.

Explanation:During sexual reproduction the genetic material of two individuals is combined to produce genetically diverse offspring that differ from their parents.

How can constraints be used to help define the problem?
vitfil [10]

Answer:

Constraints are restrictions that need to be placed upon variables 

Explanation:

Constraints are restrictions (limitations, boundaries) that need to be placed upon variables used in equations that model real-world situations. It is possible that certain solutions which make an equation true mathematically, may not make any sense in the context of a real-world word problem.
