16 protons
Explanation: S2-: proton number 16; nucleon number 32
There are 16 protons (from the proton number). If it was a neutral atom, there would be 16 electrons.
A is the correct answer and this question should be in physics not chemistry
Answer:1.
1.Balanced equation
C4H10 + 9 02 ==> 5H20 +4CO2
2. Volume of CO2 =596L
Explanation:
1.Combustion of alkane is the reaction of alkanes with Oxygen. And the general equation for the combustion is;
CxHy +( x+y/4) O2 ==> y/2 02 + xCO2
Where x and y are number of carbon and hydrogen atoms respectively.
For butane (C4H10)
x=4 and y=10
Therefore
C4H10 + 9 02 ==> 5H20 +4CO2
2. Mass of butane = 0.360kg
Molar mass of C4H10 = ( 12×4 + 1×10)
= 48 +10=58g/mol= 0.058kg/mol
Mole = mass/molar mass
Mole = 0.360/0.058= 6.2moles
From the stoichiometric equation
1mole of C4H10 will gives 4moles of CO2
Therefore
6.2moles of C4H10 will gives 4 moles of 24.8 moles of CO2
Using the ideal gas equation
PV=nRT
P= 1.0atm
V=?
n= 24.8mol.
R=0.08206atmL/molK
T=20+273=293
V= 24.8 × 0.08206 × 293
V= 596L
Therefore the volume of CO2 produced is 596L
(D) At equilibrium, the concentration of the products will be much higher than the concentration of the reactants.
