The concentration of CO₃²⁻ ions will be higher

To explain, I want you to imagine H₂CO₃ in water.

we know that it will lose 2 of it's protons, and form 2 ions

The ion which is more stable will have a higher concentration because that ion will refuse to react with anything else, so once something turns into that specific ion, it's not going back... unless there's a more stabler ion possible

In this case, the 2 ions formed are: HCO₃⁻ and CO₃⁽²⁻⁾, drawing the structures of both the ions tells us that both of them have resonance, but the CO₃⁽²⁻⁾ ion has more resonance structures and hence is more stable

28.7 l of propane, c3h8, are consumed in a combustion reaction. how many grams of water are produced?
lora16 [44]
The chemical reaction would be:

C3H8 + 5O2 = 3CO2 + 4H2O

For this case, we assume that gas is ideal thus in every 1 mol the volume would be 22.41 L. We calculate as follows:

28.7 L C3H8 ( 1 mol / 22.41 L ) ( 4 mol H2O / 1 mol C3H8 ) ( 18.02 g / mol ) = 92.31 g H2O produced

Hope this answers the question.
