Answer:

Strontium

Explanation:

To find the element, we need to know the atomic number. There is this rule in chemistry that says that the number of protons and the atomic number are the same. Since we know that there are 38 protons, the atomic number is also 38, leading us to Strontium. Sr -- element symbol.

The mass number is located below the element symbol on a periodic table. The mass number or the atomic mass for Strontium is 87.62 u.

Since there are an uneven amount of protons and electrons, let's subtract the number of electrons from the number of protons to find the difference. 38-36 = 2. (Also, protons are positive and electrons are negative, meaning there are more + than - in the ionic charge). Which means, the atom has a +2 ionic charge.

The coolant in automobiles is often a 50/50 % by volume mixture of ethylene glycol, C2H6O2, and water. At 20°C, the density of e

Misha Larkins [42]

Explanation:

Let the volume of the solution be 100 ml.

As the volume of glycol = 50 = volume of water

Hence, the number of moles of glycol = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

= $\frac{density \times volume}{molar mass}$

= $\frac{1.1088 \times 50}{62 g/mol}$

= 0.894 mol

Hence, number of moles of water = $\frac{50 \times 0.998}{18}$

= 2.77

As glycol is dissolved in water.

So, the molality = $0.894 \times \frac{1000}{49.92}$

= 17.9

Therefore, the expected freezing point = $-1.86 \times 17.9$

= $-33.31^{o}C$

Thus, we can conclude that the expected freezing point is $-33.31^{o}C$ .

What mass of butane in grams is necessary to produce 1.5×103 kj of heat what mass of co2 is produced?

kari74 [83]

The heat of reaction (i.e. combustion) of butane ( $C_{4} H_{10}$ ) when reacted with oxygen ( $O_{2}$ )  is -2658 kJ/mol butane, and the chemical reaction is given by:

$C_{4} H_{10}$ + $\frac{13}{2} O_{2}$ ---> $4 CO_{2}$ + $5 H_{2}O$

The mass of butane required in the reaction is based on the heat produced by the reaction, which is given to be -1,500 kJ. The minus sign is added because the reaction releases heat (exothermic), which means that the products are in a "lower energy state" than the reactants.

Dividing this with the heat of reaction per mole of butane reacted would give the number of moles butane required. Then, multiplying the answer with the molar mass of butane which is 58 grams/mole, will give the mass of butane required.

Moles of butane = [(-1,500 kJ)/(-2658 kJ/mol butane)]
Moles of butane = 0.5643 moles butane

Mass of butane  = 0.5643 moles butane * 58 grams/mol butane
Mass of butane = 32.73 grams butane

The mass of carbon dioxide ( $CO_{2}$ ) can be determined by multiplying the moles of butane ( $C_{4} H_{10}$ ) with the mole ratio of ( $CO_{2}$ ) produced to the ( $C_{4} H_{10}$ ) reacted, and then with the molar mass of ( $CO_{2}$ ), which is 44 grams/mole.

Mass of carbon dioxide produced
= 0.5643 moles butane * [4 moles $CO_{2}$ / 1 mole $C_{4} H_{10}$ ] * 44 grams/mole $CO_{2}$

Mass of carbon dioxide produced
= 99.32 grams $CO_{2}$

Thus, the mass of butane required is 32.73 grams, and the mass of carbon dioxide produced from the reaction of this amount of butane is 99.32 grams.

garik1379 [7]

When solid carbon reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide gas. the deltaH (enthalpy change ) value is negative .DeltaH would be on the product side of the equation.

<h3>What is enthalpy change? </h3>

In a thermodynamic system, energy is measured by enthalpy. Enthalpy is a measure of a system's overall heat content and is equal to the system's internal energy plus the sum of its volume and pressure.

Knowing whether q is endothermic or exothermic allows one to characterise the relationship between q and H. An endothermic reaction is one that absorbs heat and demonstrates that heat from the environment is used in the reaction, hence q>0 (positive). For the aforementioned equation, under constant pressure and temperature, if q is positive, then H will also be positive. In a similar manner, heat is transferred to the environment when it is released during an exothermic reaction. Thus, q=0 (negative). Therefore, if q is negative, H will also be negative.
