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.

What volume (in L) of oxygen will be required to produce 77.4 L of water vapor in the reaction below?
Inga [223]

Answer:

90.3 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of water produced = 77.4 L

Volume of oxygen required = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2C₂H₆ + 7O₂  →  4CO₂ + 6H₂O

It is known that,

1 mole = 22.414 L

There are 7 moles of oxygen = 7×22.414 = 156.9 L

There are 6 moles of water = 6×22.414 = 134.5 L

Now we will compare:

                               H₂O           :              O₂    

                               134.5         :              156.9

                                 77.4         :             156.9/134.5×77.4 =90.3 L

So for the production of 77.4 L water 90.3 L oxygen is required.

Is a diamond a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture or a substance
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

heterogeneous

Explanation:

It's a heterogeneous mixture. Diamond is made of just one element: carbon. Each carbon atom in diamond is connected to four other carbon atoms, in a crystal that extends on and on. There are other forms of pure carbon where the atoms are bonded differently, notably charcoal and graphite.
