Answer:

21.2 gm

Explanation:

calculate the mass of butane needed to produce 64.1 g of carbon dioxide to three significant figures and appropriate units

butane is the hydrocarbon C4H10  

in combustion, we react hydrocarbons with O2 to form CO2 and H2O

so

C4H10  + O2---------------->  CO2 + H2O

BALANCE

2C4H10 + 1302--------> 8CO2 + 10 H2O

the molar mass of CO2 is 12 + 16X2 = 44

64.1 gm of CO2 is

64.1/44 = 1.46 MOLES OF  CO2,

FOR EVERY 8 MOLES OF CO2 WE NEED 2 MOLES OF BUTANE  IT IS A

8:2 OR 4:1 RATIO.  THE MOLES OF C4H10 ARE 1/4 THE MOLES OF CO2

SO

THE MOLES OF C4H10 H10 ARE 1.46/4 =0.365 MOLES

THE MOLAR MASS OF BUTANE IS 58.12

0.365 MOLES OF C4H10 HAS A MASS OF 0.365 X 58.12 = 21.2 gm

According to the phase diagram for H₂O, what happens to the phases of
sergejj [24]

Answer:

"A", "water changes from a gas to a solid to a liquid", according to this phase diagram, at at 0°C, as pressure is increased from 0atm to 10atm.

Explanation:

The question asks what happens at 0°C, as pressure is increased from 0atm to 10atm.

According to the question, the temperature is held constant.  The pressure changes.  In the phase diagram, we find the temperature 0°C on the horizontal axis, and all points where the temperature are 0°C are along that vertical line.

Since the pressure starts at 0atm and increases to 10atm, we start at the bottom, and move upward along that line, to see what phases of matter the substance changes to.

At the bottom, it is initially in a "gas" phase.  As it moves up, it transitions to a "solid" phase.  Later, as it continues moving up, it changes again into a "liquid" phase.

Thus, the answer would be "A", "water changes from a gas to a solid to a liquid", according to this phase diagram, at at 0°C, as pressure is increased from 0atm to 10atm.
