Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 600 \ atoms \ of \ carbon}}$

Explanation:

We are given this compound with the formula: C₃H₂O

According the subscripts, 1 molecule contains 3 carbon atoms, 2 hydrogen atoms, and 1 oxygen atom.

We can make a ratio. There are 3 carbon atoms for every 1 molecule of C₃H₂O.

$\frac { 3 \ atoms \ C }{1 \ molecule C_3H_2O}$

Since we want to calculate the number of atoms in 200 molecules, we can multiply the ratio by 200.

$200 \ molecules \ C_3H_2O*\frac { 3 \ atoms \ C }{1 \ molecule C_3H_2O}$

$200*\frac { 3 \ atoms \ C }{1 }$

$600 \ atoms \ C$

200 molecules of C₃H₂O contains 600 atoms of carbon.

1. Which of the following is a correctly written thermochemical equation?

WITCHER [35]

Explanation:

1. Thermochemical equation is balance stoichiometric chemical equation written with the phases of the reactants and products in the brackets along with the enthalpy change of the reaction.

The given correct thermochemical reactions are:

$Fe(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow Fe_2O_3(s),\Delta H = 3,926 kJ
$

$C_3H_8(g)+5O_2 (g)\rightarrow 3CO_2 (g)+4H_2O(l),\Delta H= 2,220 kJ/mol$

2. Phase change affect the value of the enthalpy change of the thermochemical equation. This is because change in phase is accompanied by change in energy. For example:

$H_2O(s)\rightarrow H_2O(g),\Delta H_{s}=51.1 kJ/mol$
