Answer:

C₄H₆

Explanation:

A hydrocarbon is a molecule that only contains atoms of Carbon and Hydrogen. As you remember, the molar mass of Carbon is 12g/mol and the molar mass of Hydrogen is 1g/mol.

To solve this question we can find the amount of Carbons necessary that doesn't exceed the 54g/mol. That is:

54g/mol / 12g/mol = 4.5

As the molecular formula must be given in whole numbers, the amount of Carbons is 4. This 4 carbons have a mass of:

12g/mol*4 = 48g/mol

And the hydrogens necessaries to suply the molecular mass are:

54 - 48 = 6 hydrogens

That means molecular formula is:

Answer:

4054 kcal of heat is released during complete combustion of 354 g of octane.

Explanation:

Heat of combustion of 1 mol of octane is 1.308\times 10^{3} kcal

Molar mass of octane = 114.23 g/mol

We know, no. of moles = (mass)/(molar mass)

So, 1.308\times 10^{3} kcal of heat is released during complete combustion of 114.23 g of octane.

So, amount of heat is released during complete combustion of 354 g of octane = (\frac{1.308\times 10^{3}}{114.23})\times 354  kcal = 4054 kcal

Hence 4054 kcal of heat is released during complete combustion of 354 g of octane.

Which unit is used for measuring atomic mass?
Kryger [21]
An atomic mass unit is a unit of measurement that is used to measure the mass of atoms. The atomic mass unit (abbreviated: amu or u) is roughly equal to the mass of 1 proton<span> or 1 neutron. The unified atomic mass unit and the dalton are different names for the same thing. The dalton name is used more over time.</span>

If 12 gallons of gasoline cost $34.68, what is the unit price per gallon?
chubhunter [2.5K]
The answer is $2.89.

Since it’s asking for the unit price of one gallon and you have the total ($34.68 and 12 gallons), you would divide $34.68 from 12, which gives you $2.89.

34.68/12 = 2.89
