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!

Use the question marck Moles of CO2
The the giving = 0.624 mol O2
Find the CF faction = 1 mole=  32.00 of O2

O= 2x16.00= 32.00amu ( writte this in the cf fraction)
SET UP THE CHART
Always start with the giving

0.624 mol O2    /  1mol of CO2
___________  / _____________ = Cancel the queal ( O2)
                       / 32.00c O2
                      /
                     /
Multiply the top and divide by the bottom 
0.624 mol CO x 1mol CO2 = 0.624 divide by 32.00 O2 =0.0195
You should look at the giving number ( how many num u gor ever there) 
Ur answer should have the same # as ur givin so 
= 0.0195 
= .0195 mol of CO2

What’s the difference between an ester and an amide
Rufina [12.5K]

In amides, the carbonyl carbon is bonded to a nitrogen. The nitrogen in an amide can be bonded either to hydrogens, to carbons, or to both. ... Another way of thinking of an ester is that it is a carbonyl bonded to an alcohol. Thioesters are similar to esters, except a sulfur is in place of the oxygen.
