Propane (C3H3) is used in domestic cooking and heating. A typical home in Pennsylvania burns 750 gal of propane for heating over

the course of a year. How many moles of propane are burned? (the density of propane is approximately 4.2lb/gal)

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.

Calculate the volume of dry co2 produced at body temperature (37 ∘c) and 0.970 atm when 25.5 g of glucose is consumed in this re
katrin2010 [14]

I believe the balanced chemical equation is:

C6H12O6 (aq) + 6O2(g) ------> 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) 

 

First calculate the moles of CO2 produced:

moles CO2 = 25.5 g C6H12O6 * (1 mol C6H12O6 / 180.15 g) * (6 mol CO2 / 1 mol C6H12O6)

moles CO2 = 0.8493 mol

 

Using PV = nRT from the ideal gas law:

<span>V = nRT  / P</span>

V = 0.8493 mol * 0.08205746 L atm / mol K * (37 + 273.15 K) / 0.970 atm

<span>V = 22.28 L</span>

Geologists divide Earth’s long history into smaller units that make up the geologic time scale.
aleksandrvk [35]

False

Explanation:

The geologic time scale which simplifies earth's long history is broad division of deep time. It consists of a large and small divisions.

  • The geologic time scale is divided into large broad categories; called eons, eras, period and epoch.
  • The scale is merges absolute dating of events that has happened in geologic past and their relative ages.
  • Broad categories on the scale are further simplified into smaller units.
  • Relative age puts events in the order of their appearance using a couple of geologic principles.

When a new bond forms in a chemical reaction, what happens?
Kisachek [45]
The answer to this question would be A. Energy is released. 

When a chemical bond is a form, the bond will either suck up energy or produce energy. So, to be precise the energy is not always released but also can be absorbed. In this case, the energy released number will be a minus.

Options B and C is definitely wrong since the bond is formed by an electron, it won't affects neutron/proton.
Option D might be true since the product is made of 2 or more atoms then it would seem larger. But the size of the actual atom won't be increased.
