Answer:precisely 1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon-12.
Explanation:The carbon-12 (C-12) atom has six protons and six neutrons in its nucleus. In imprecise terms, one AMU is the average of the proton rest mass and the neutron rest mass.
Answer:
MnO- Manganese Oxide
Explanation:
Empirical formula: This is the formula that shows the ratio of elements
present in a
compound.
How to determine Empirical formula
1. First arrange the symbols of the elements present in the compound
alphabetically to determine the real empirical formula. Although, there
are exceptions to this rule, E.g H2So4
2. Divide the percentage composition by the mass number.
3. Then divide through by the smallest number.
4. The resulting answer is the ratio attached to the elements present in
a compound.
Mn O
% composition 72.1 27.9
Divide by mass number 54.94 16
1.31 1.74
Divide by the smallest number 1.31 1.31
1 1.3
The resulting ratio is 1:1
Hence the Empirical formula is MnO, Manganese oxide
The moles of oxygen required to burn Butane is 6 moles.
<h3>What is a Combustion Reaction?</h3>
A reaction in which fuel gets oxidised by an oxidising agent producing a large amount of heat is called a combustion reaction.
In this question
Butane is burnt with oxygen
Molar mass of C₄H₁₀ = (12.0×4 + 1.0×10) g/mol = 58.0 g/mol
Molar mass of O₂ = 16.0×2 g/mol = 32.0 g/mol
Balanced equation for the reaction:
2C₄H₁₀ + 13O₂ → 8CO₂ + 10H₂O
Mole ratio C₄H₁₀ : O₂ = 2 : 13
The given mass = 54grams
moles = 54/58 = 0.93 moles
The mole of oxygen required =
0.93/ x = 2/13
0.93*13/2 = x
x = 6.045 moles
Therefore 6 moles of oxygen are required to burn Butane.
