Amiraneli [1.4K]
Weight  = mass x gravitational acceleration = mg

m = 10kg
g = 9.8 m/s^2

Question 3 0 / 1 point How many grams of carbon atoms are present in a sample of C3H8 if there are 4.10 moles of hydrogen atoms
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

18.45 g of C

Explanation:

This is a problem of rules of three:

1 mol of C₃H₈ contains 3 moles of C and 8 moles of H

If 8 moles of H are contained in 1 mol of propane

4.10 moles of H are contained in (4.1 . 1) /8 = 0.5125 moles

Now, If 1 mol of propane contains 3 moles of C

0.5125 moles of propane may contain (0.5125 . 3) / 1 = 1.5375 moles of C

Let's convert the moles to mass:

1.5375 mol . 12 g /mol = 18.45 g
