<span>A hydrocarbon is a molecule whose structure includes only hydrogen and carbon atoms. Hydrocarbons containing between six and ten carbon molecules are the top components of most fuels. In general, these molecules are burned to produce energy. Examples such include: 1. Methane: A fuel in electrical generation. 2. Propane: Generally used heating and cooking. 3. Butane: Generally used in lighters and aerosol cans. 4.Heptane: The major component of gasoline Hydrocarbons are majorly used as a combustible fuel source and are considered a primary source of energy for contemporary civilizations. Oil is an excellent example of a hydrocarbon fuel currently in use all over the world.</span>
<span>Colligative properties are dependent upon the number of molecules or ions present in solution. Therefore, 1 mole of Na2SO4 will produce 3 moles of ions and so it will have 3 times as much of an effect as 1 mole of sugar, which is not an electrolyte and can't dissociate to an appreciable extent.</span>
1. 12 L = 12 dm³
2. 3.18 g
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
1. Reaction
K₂CO₃+2HNO₃⇒ 2KNO₃+H₂O+CO₂
69 g K₂CO₃
2. 0.03 mol/L Na₂CO₃
Required
1. volume of CO₂
2. mass Na₂CO₃
Solution
1. mol K₂CO₃(MW=138 g/mol) :
= 69 : 138
= 0.5
mol ratio of K₂CO₃ : CO₂ = 1 : 1, so mol CO₂ = 0.5
Assume at RTP(25 C, 1 atm) 1 mol gas = 24 L, so volume CO₂ :
= 0.5 x 24 L
= 12 L
2. M Na₂CO₃ = 0.03 M
Volume = 1 L
mol Na₂CO₃ :
= M x V
= 0.03 x 1
= 0.03 moles
Mass Na₂CO₃(MW=106 g/mol) :
= mol x MW
= 0.03 x 106
= 3.18 g
