Answer:

First confirm the reaction is balanced:

C3H8 + 5O2 --> 3CO2 + 4H20 (3 cabon - check; 8 hydrogen - check; 10 oxygen - check).

a) In the equation there is a 5:1 ratio between propane and oxygen. We also know that number of mole is proportional to pressure and volume. Since pressure is constant (STP) then the volume of O2 is 7.2 * 5 = 36 litres.

b) For a near ideal gas that PV = nRT (combined gas law). So for 7.2 litres propane we find n(propane) = 101.3 * 7.2/8.314*298 ~ 0.29 mole (using metric units throughout for simplicity).

There is a 1:3 ratio between propane and CO2. Therefore 3 * 0.29 = 0.87 mole of CO2 is produced.

MW(CO2) ~ 44 g/mol. Therefore m(CO2) = 44 * 0.87 ~ 38.3 g

c) We know we need more oxygen than propane (due to the 1:5 ratio) so oxygen is the limiting reagent. Again Volume is proportional to number of mole and we see there is a 5:4 ratio between oxygen and water. Therefore the volume of water vapour produced will be (4/5) * 15 = 12 litres.

The other questions use the same technique and will give you some much needed practice.

Which direction does air circulate into low pressure zones in the northern and southern hemisphere

Yuri [45]

<span>Now consider a low pressure area on a disk as shown below.A parcel of air at point A would move toward the center of the low pressure area. That movement would take it farther away from the center of the disk and therefore it would move to the west. A parcel of air at B would move toward the center of the low pressure area which would also take it closer to the center of the spinning disk where its speed is greater than the surrounding points. It would appear to move to the east. With A moving to the west and B moving to the east the line from A to B is rotating counterclockwise.</span>

See attached table

Explanation:

The isotope symbol will have the mass number and chemical symbol. The atomic number will be equal to the number of protons because the atomic number is the number of protons in an atom. The electrons will be equal to the protons because the atom is neutral. The neutrons can be found by subtracting the number of protons from the mass number. The mass number can be found by adding the protons and neutrons. It is also in the name of the isotope.
