The question is missing the graphics required to answer which I have attached as an image.

There are four different representations of the orientation of water molecules around chloride anion. Let's first analyze the water molecule.

We have H-O-H as the structure of water. The oxygen atom is more electronegative than the hydrogen atoms, which results in a partial positive charge on the hydrogen atoms and a partial negative charge on the oxygen atom.

The chloride anion is a negative charge. Therefore, the water molecules should orient themselves with the hydrogen atoms facing the chlorine atom as the partial positive charge on the hydrogen atoms will be attracted to the negative charge of the chlorine atom.

The correct representation is shown in graph 3 which shows all hydrogen atoms facing the chlorine anion.

A) How many moles of CO2 and H2O are formed from 3.85 mole of propane C3H8 (This calculation needs to be done twice-once fro CO2

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

a) 11.55 moles of carbon dioxide gas are formed from 3.85 mole of propane.

15.4 moles of water are formed from 3.85 mole of propane.

b)0.5176 moles of water are formed from 0.647 mole of oxygen gas.

0.1294 moles of propane are consumed.

Explanation:

$C_3H_7+5O_2\rightarrow 3CO_2+4H_2O$

a) Moles of propane = 3.85 moles

According to reaction, 1 mole of propane gives 3 moles of carbon dioxide gas.

Then 3.85 moles of propane will give:

$\frac{3}{1}\times 3.85 mol=11.55 mol$ of carbon dioxide gas.

11.55 moles of carbon dioxide gas are formed from 3.85 mole of propane.

According to reaction, 1 mole of propane gives 4 moles of water gas.

Then 3.85 moles of propane will give:

$\frac{4}{1}\times 3.85 mol=15.4 mol$ of water .

15.4 moles of water are formed from 3.85 mole of propane.

b) Moles of oxygen gas = 0.647 moles

According to reaction, 5 mole of oxygen gas gives 4 moles of water.

Then 0.647 moles of oxygen will give:

$\frac{4}{5}\times 0.647 mol=0.5176 mol$ of water.

0.5176 moles of water are formed from 0.647 mole of oxygen gas.

According to reaction, 5 mole of oxygen gas reacts with 1 mole of propane.

Then 0.647 moles of oxygen will give:

$\frac{1}{5}\times 0.647 mol=0.1294 mol$ of propane.

0.1294 moles of propane are consumed.

A balance measures mass to 0.001 g. If you determine the mass of an object that weighs about 30 g, would you record the mass as

solong [7]

Answer:

The mass is recorded as 32.075 g

Explanation:

"The first digit of uncertainty is taken as the last significant digit", this is the rule for significant figures in the analysis. The balance measures the mass up to three decimal places, so it makes the most sense to note the whole figure.

What is the stoichiometric ratio between BaCl2 and NaCl

bixtya [17]

BaCl2+Na2SO4---->BaSO4+2NaCl There is 1.0g of BaCl2 and 1.0g of Na2SO4, which is the limiting reagent? "First convert grams into moles" 1.0g BaCl2 * (1 mol BaCl2 / 208.2g BaCl2) = 4.8 x 10^-3 mol BaCl2 1.0g Na2SO4 * (1 mol Na2SO4 / 142.04g Na2SO4) = 7.0 x 10^-3 mol Na2SO4 (7.0 x 10^-3 mol Na2SO4 / 4.8 x 10^-3 mol BaCl2 ) = 1.5 mol Na2SO4 / mol BaCl2 "From this ratio compare it to the equation, BaCl2+Na2SO4---->BaSO4+2NaCl" The equation shows that for every mol of BaCl2 requires 1 mol of Na2SO4. But we found that there is 1.5 mol of Na2SO4 per mol of BaCl2. Therefore, BaCl2 is the limiting reagent.

Explain how a solution can be both dilute and saturated.

svlad2 [7]

Dilution is when you decrease the concentration of a solution by adding a solvent. As a result, if you want to dilute salt water, just add water. ... Add more solute until it quits dissolving. That point at which a solute quits dissolving is the point at which it's saturated.
