A.

\rm C$_7$H$_{16}$ + 5O$_2$ $\longrightarrow \,\rm 6CO$_2$ + 4H$_2$O

NOT BALANCED. 7C on left and 6C on right.

C.

\rm C$_7$H$_{16}$ + 14O$_2$ $\longrightarrow \,$ 7CO$_2$ + 5H$_2$O

NOT BALANCED. 16H on left and 10H on right.

An ion has 14 neutrons, 10 electrons, and a mass number of 27 what element
nasty-shy [4]

The ion is Al³⁺

mass number - number of neutrons= atomic number

27 - 14 = 13

Aluminum has an atomic number of 13, thus we know this is the metal in question. Also, because the aluminum has only 10 electrons, (3 less than a neutral atom of aluminum would have), its charge must be 3+

How many moles are in 187.54 grams of magnesium chlorate?
Svetlanka [38]

Hey there!

Magnesium chlorate: Mg(ClO₃)₂

Find molar mass.

Mg: 1 x 24.305 = 24.305

Cl: 2 x 35.453 = 70.906

O: 6 x 16 = 96

------------------------------------

                      191.211 g/mol

We have 187.54 grams.

187.54 ÷ 191.211 = 0.9808

There are 0.9808 moles in 187.54 grams of magnesium chlorate.

Hope this helps!
