Answer:

103.9 g

Explanation:

  • C₃H₈ + 5O₂ → 3CO₂ + 4H₂O

First <u>we convert 54.0 g of propane (C₃H₈) into moles</u>, using its <em>molar mass</em>:

  • 54.0 g ÷ 44 g/mol = 1.23 mol C₃H₈

Then we <u>convert 1.23 moles of C₃H₈ into moles of CO₂</u>, using the <em>stoichiometric coefficients</em>:

  • 1.23 mol C₃H₈ * \frac{3molCO_2}{1molC_3H_8} = 3.69 mol CO₂

We <u>convert 3.69 moles of CO₂ into grams</u>, using its <em>molar mass</em>:

  • 3.69 mol CO₂ * 44 g/mol = 162.36 g

And <u>apply the given yield</u>:

  • 162.36 g * 64.0/100 = 103.9 g

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

In the 1800s, a popular belief known as vitalism stated that life processes could not be explained by the laws of physics and chemistry,and were instead dictated by an independent life force. Which discovery most likely caused scientists to revise this hypothesis regarding the origin of life on Earth?

a. that inorganic compounds existed within live organisms

b. that organic compounds could be synthesized in a laboratory

c. that RNA could serve as a template to synthesize DNA

d. that self-replicating molecules existed inside cells

Answer:

b. that organic compounds could be synthesized in a laboratory

Explanation:

Vitalism is the belief that "living organisms are fundamentally different from non-living entities because they contain some non-physical element or are governed by different principles than are inanimate things"(wikipedia).

This theory held that the molecules involved in life processes could not be synthesized in the laboratory.

All these were upturned after Fredrich Whöler's synthesis of urea in 1828. He was able to show that molecules involved in life process can also be synthesized in the laboratory. This gave rise to modern synthetic organic chemistry.

An atom X has 2 electrons in its outer orbit. What will it do to form a stable ion?
matrenka [14]

Answer:

In a neutral molecule, the sum of the bonding valance electrons must be equal. So the products of the negative element and its charges and the positive element and its charge must be equal.

Explanation:

C1×N1 = C2×N2

If we have a 3 valance electrons , the 'A' charge will be either +3 or -5 for a full octet and valance electron in 'B' atoms will mostly result in acquisition of additional electrons (2) for an octet and relative charge of -2.

Balancing the two,

3 × A = -2 × B

To be equal, A = 2 and B = 3

Therefore, A²B³

Why are scientific models important in the study of science?
telo118 [61]

Answer:

In science, amodel is a representation of an idea, an object or even a process or a system that is used to describe and explain phenomena that cannot be experienced directly. Models are central to what scientists do, both in their research as well as when communicating their explanations.
