Calculate the mass of water produced when 42 g of propane, c3h8, is burned with 115 g of oxygen

Chemistry

The balanced combustion reaction of propane, C₃H₈, is

C₃H₈ + 5 O₂ → 3 CO₂ + 4 H₂O

Molar mass of propane: 44 g/mol
Moles of propane = 42 g * (1 mol/44g) = 0.9545 mol propane

Molar mass of oxygen: 32 g/mol
Moles of oxygen = 115 g * (1 mol/32 g) = 3.594 mol oxygen

Moles of oxygen needed to completely react propane:
0.9545 mol propane * (5 mol O₂/1 mol propane) = 4.7725 mol oxygen

Since the available oxygen is only 3.594 moles and propane needs 4.7725 moles, that means oxygen is our limiting reactant. We base the amount of water produced here.

Molar mass of water: 18 g/mol
Mass of water produced = 3.594 mol O₂ * (4 mol H₂O/5 mol O₂) * (18 g/mol)
Mass of water produced = 258.768 grams

Can somebody explain step by step how to solve decomposition reactions?
SVEN [57.7K]
A decomposition reaction occurs when one reactant breaks down into two or more products. It can be represented by the general equation:

AB → A + B
In this equation, AB represents the reactant that begins the reaction, and A and B represent the products of the reaction. The arrow shows the direction in which the reaction occurs.

A sample of magnesium oxide has a mass of 94.4 g. How many molecules
ella [17]

Answer: 1.414x10^24 molecules in 94.4g MgO

Explanation: molar mass MgO 40.204

molecules in 40.204 g MgO = avogadro number

molecules in 94.4 g MgO = (94.4/40.204)*avogadro number

(94.4/40.204)*6.02214076*10^23 = 14.14x10^23

What happens to the rate of diffusion when pressure of gas is increased?​
luda_lava [24]

In general, the diffusion coefficient is inversely proportional to pressure. This is also an observed fact: gas production rates from coal seams tend to increase as the reservoir pressure goes down.
