Answer: There are 32400 moles of propane burned.

Explanation:

To calculate the mass of propane, we use the equation:

\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}

Density of propane = 4.2lb/gal

Volume of propane = 750 gal

Putting values in above equation, we get:

4.2lb/gal=\frac{\text{Mass of propane}}{750gal}\\\\\text{Mass of propane}=(4.2lb/gal\times 750gal)=3150lb=1428840g     (1 lb=453.6 g[/tex]

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to molecular mass and contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{1428840g}{44.1g/mol}=32400moles

Thus there are 32400 moles of propane burned.

White raven [17]

Answer:

c) An element is made up of all the same type of atom

Explanation:

Atoms are the smallest unit of an element that consists of protons, electrons and neutrons in its structure. An element is the smallest part of a chemical substance that cannot be disintegrated i.e. it cannot be broken down further.

Atoms and elements are different in many ways but they are connected in the sense that an element contains only one type of atoms. For example, aluminum element is made up of only aluminum atoms. Different atoms form a molecule but same atoms form an element.

Identify two ways that temperature plays a role in chemical changes.
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Increasing the temperature will cause chemical changes to occur faster. Decreasing the temperature, causes the particles to lose energy which causes them to move around less and slower. The less they move, the less collisions occur, and the less reactions occur between the chemicals = slower reaction rate.

You are given a solution of sugar and sand and water your task is to separate sugar from sand which of the following experimenta
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

Filtration followed by evaporation:

To separate the mixture of sand and sugar, it is best to use the separation technique of filtration then evaporation.

Pour the water into the mixture. The sugar will dissolve with time in the water. Sand is made up of quartz and does not dissolve in water.

After the dissolution, filter the solution to separate the sand using a filter paper.

Dry the sand thereafter then proceed to evaporate the sugar with water solution. Evaporation will turn water into vapor and the sugar crystals will be left behind.
