Explanation:
(a) mass number = atomic number + number of neutrons
(the atomic number is the number of protons of an element)
mass number of A = 11 + 12 = 23
mass number of B = 17 + 18 = 35
(b) +1 and -1, respectively
(c) A+ + B- → AB (the first plus sign and the minus sign are superscripts)
Answer:
32.1 g
Explanation:
Step 1: Write the balanced combustion reaction
C₄H₁₀ + 6.5 O₂ ⇒ 4 CO₂ + 5 H₂O
Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 97.4 g of CO₂
The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01 g/mol.
97.4 g × 1 mol/44.01 g = 2.21 mol
Step 3: Calculate the moles of butane that produced 2.21 moles of carbon dioxide
The molar ratio of C₄H₁₀ to CO₂ is 1:4. The moles of C₄H₁₀ required are 1/4 × 2.21 mol = 0.553 mol
Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 0.553 moles of C₄H₁₀
The molar mass of C₄H₁₀ is 58.12 g/mol.
0.553 mol × 58.12 g/mol = 32.1 g
