Answer:

The mass % of ethane is 29.1 %

Explanation:

Step 1: data given

Mass of gaseous mixture = 9.780 grams

Mixture contains ethane and propane

Moles of oxygen needed = 1.120 moles

Molar mass O2 = 32 g/mol

Molar mass of ethane = 30.07 g/mol

Molar mass of propane = 44.1 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equations

C2H6 + 7/2 O2 → 2CO2 + 3H2O

C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles

n(C2H6) / n(O2)  = 1 / 3.5 = 1/X

m(C2H6) = 3.5x mole * 30.07 g/mol

n(C3H8) /n(O2) = 1/5 = x / (1.12 -x)

m(C3H8) = (1.12 - x) /5  * 44.1 g/mol

3.5 * 30x + 1/5 *44.1 (1.12-x) = 9.780 grams

x = 0.3325 moles

Step 4: Calculate mass ethane

2/7 * 30*0.3325 = 2.85 grams

Step 5: Calculate % of ethane

% ethane = (2.85 grams / 9.78 grams ) * 100%

% ethane = 29.1 %

The mass % of ethane is 29.1 %

What is the name for potassium oxide's structure? Give two properties of potassium oxide.
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

- The name for the potassium oxide's structure is ionic.

Properties:

- High melting point.

- Soluble in water.

Explanation:

- The ionic structure it is formed by a cation (atom with positive charge) and an anion (atom with negative charge). In this case, potassium is the cation and the oxigen is the anion.

- Since potassium oxide is an ionic compound, it has a high melting point, because of the strong bonds. Also, it is soluble in polar solvents, like water, because its ions generate polarity in the molecule.

What is the penetrating power of beta
zlopas [31]
The penetrating power of alpha rays, beta rays, and gamma rays varies greatly. Alpha particles can be blocked by a few pieces of paper. Beta particles pass through paper but are stopped by aluminum foil. Gamma rays are the most difficult to stop and require concrete, lead, or other heavy shielding to block them.
