Answer:

i would say 10, so the anser is A.

Explanation:

because there are the same number of protons and electrons, therefore for a regular O, you are supposed to have only 8 protons, but it is charged, thus, whatever the charge is will be taken into consideration into how much the proton and electron doe it have. Thus, for this case, it has 10, because the charge is negative and you have 8 electron plus 2 = 10.

2 C2H6 + 7 026 H2O + 4 CO2

Kay [80]

Answer:

Oxygen is limiting reactant

Explanation:

Based on the chemical reaction:

2C2H6 + 7O2 → 6H2O + 4CO2

<em>2 mole of ethane reacts with 7 moles of oxygen</em>

<em />

For a complete reaction of 5.25 moles of ethane are required:

5.25 moles Ethane * (7mol Oxygen / 2mol Ethane) = 18.38 moles of oxygen

As there are just 15.0 moles of oxygen

<h3>Oxygen is limiting reactant</h3>

Combustion analysis of 0.300 g of an unknown compound containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen produced 0.5213 g of co2 and 0.283

Lyrx [107]

First, we have to get how many grams of C & H & O in the compound:
- the mass of C on CO2 = mass of CO2*molar mass of C /molar mass of CO2
= 0.5213 * 12 / 44 = 0.142 g
- the mass of H atom on H2O = mass of H2O*molar mass of H / molar mass of H2O
=0.2835 * 2 / 18 = 0.0315 g
- the mass of O = the total mass - the mass of C atom - the mass of H atom
= 0.3 - 0.142 - 0.0315 = 0.1265 g
Convert the mass to mole by divided by molar mass
C(0.142/12) H(0.0315/2) O(0.1265/16)
C(0.0118) H(0.01575) O(0.0079) by dividing by the smallest value 0.0079
C1.504 H3.99 O1 by rounding to the nearst fraction
C3/2 H4/1 )1/1 multiply by 2
∴ the emprical formula C3H8O2
