<h3>Answer:</h3>

19.3 g/cm³

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Density of a substance refers to the mass of the substance per unit volume.

Therefore, Density = Mass ÷ Volume

In this case, we are given;

Mass of the gold bar = 193.0 g

Dimensions of the Gold bar = 5.00 mm by 10.0 cm by 2.0 cm

We are required to get the density of the gold bar

Step 1: Volume of the gold bar

Volume is given by, Length × width × height

Volume = 0.50 cm × 10.0 cm × 2.0 cm

= 10 cm³

Step 2: Density of the gold bar

Density = Mass ÷ volume

Density of the gold bar = 193.0 g ÷ 10 cm³

= 19.3 g/cm³

Thus, the density of the gold bar is 19.3 g/cm³

When .080 moles of propane burn at STP, what volume of carbon dioxide is produced?

ahrayia [7]

Taking into account the reaction stoichiometry and the definition of STP, 5.4 L of carbon dioxide is produced.

<h3>Reaction stoichiometry</h3>

In first place, the balanced reaction is:

C₃H₈ + 5 O₂ → 3 CO₂ + 4 H₂O

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

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

<h3>Moles of CO₂ formed</h3>

The following rule of three can be applied: if by reaction stoichiometry 1 mole of C₃H₈ form 3 moles of CO₂, 0.080 moles of C₃H₈ form how many moles of CO₂?

$amount of moles of CO_{2} =\frac{0.080 moles of C_{3} H_{8}x3 moles of CO_{2} }{1 mole of C_{3} H_{8} }$

<u><em>amount of moles of CO₂= 0.24 moles</em></u>

<h3>Definition of STP condition</h3>

The STP conditions refer to the standard temperature and pressure. Pressure values at 1 atmosphere and temperature at 0 ° C are used and are reference values for gases. And in these conditions 1 mole of any gas occupies an approximate volume of 22.4 liters.

<h3>Volume of CO₂ produced</h3>

You can apply the following rule of three: If by definition of STP 1 mole of CO₂ occupies 22.4 L, 0.24 moles of CO₂ how much volume does it occupy?

$volume of CO_{2} =\frac{0.24 molesx22.4 L}{1 mole}$
