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.

2. Mitosis is important because it plays an important part in the development of embryos, and it is important for the growth and developemet of our body as well.

3. The four phases of mitosis are: Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

4. Two gap phases (G1 and G2); an S (for synthesis) phase, in which the genetic material is duplicated.

5. During S phase all of the chromosomes are replicated.
