What happens during nuclear reaction that does not happen during a chemical reaction?

1 answer:

5 0

A chemical reaction does not create or destroy matter, it simply moves electrons from one atom to another, but does not change the nucleus of the atoms. ... The total mass of the matter can change during a nuclear reaction, the mass loss can convert into energy, which is called the nuclear power.

Why is an alkali metal element like sodium (Na) so reactive?

guapka [62]

Alkali metals are known for being some of the most reactive metals. This is due in part to their larger atomic radii and low ionization energies. They tend to donate their electrons in reactions and often have an oxidation state of +1. These metals are characterized as being extre

An ideal gas is stored in a container at constant volume. If the temperature (T) were increased to 3T, what would be the change

Olin [163]

According to Gayle Lusac's law, pressure is proportional to absolute temperature of a gas. Thus:
P/T = constant

So if the temperature becomes 3T, the pressure would increase to 3P

What mass, in grams, of CO2 and H2O is formed from 2.55 mol of propane?

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

336.6 grams of CO₂ and 183.6 grams of H₂O are formed from 2.55 moles of propane.

Explanation:

In this case, the balanced reaction is:

C₃H₈ + 5 O₂ → 3 CO₂ + 4 H₂O

By stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of reactant and product participate in the reaction:

C₃H₈: 1 mole
O₂: 5 moles
CO₂: 3 moles
H₂O: 4 moles

Being the molar mass of each compound:

C₃H₈: 44 g/mole
O₂: 16 g/mole
CO₂: 44 g/mole
H₂O: 18 g/mole

Then, by stoichiometry, the following quantities of mass participate in the reaction:

C₃H₈: 1 mole* 44 g/mole= 44 grams
O₂: 5 moles* 16 g/mole= 80 grams
CO₂: 3 moles* 44 g/mole= 132 grams
H₂O: 4 moles* 18 g/mole= 72 grams

So you can apply the following rules of three:

If by stoichiometry 1 mole of C₃H₈ forms 132 grams of CO₂, 2.55 moles of C₃H₈ how much mass of CO₂ will it form?

$mass of CO_{2} =\frac{2.55 moles of C_{3} H_{8}*132 gramsof CO_{2} }{ 1 mole of C_{3} H_{8}}$

mass of CO₂= 336.6 grams

If by stoichiometry 1 mole of C₃H₈ forms 72 grams of H₂O, 2.55 moles of C₃H₈ how much mass of H₂O will it form?

$mass of H_{2}O =\frac{2.55 moles of C_{3} H_{8}*72 gramsof H_{2}O }{ 1 mole of C_{3} H_{8}}$

mass of H₂O= 183.6 grams

336.6 grams of CO₂ and 183.6 grams of H₂O are formed from 2.55 moles of propane.
