The balanced chemical reaction:
C3H8 + 5O2 = 3CO2 + 4H2O
We are given the amount of the carbon dioxide to be produced. This will be the starting point of our calculations.
<span>43.62 L CO2 ( 1 mol CO2 / 22.4 L CO2 ) (5 mol O2 / 3 mol CO2 ) (
22.4 L O2 / 1 mol O2) = 72.7 L O2</span>
breaking bonds in reactants and forming new bonds in products. Breaking bonds requires energy, and forming bonds releases energy.
The pressure in the flask is 3.4 atm.
<em>pV</em> = <em>nRT
</em>
<em>T</em> = (20 + 273.15) K = 293.15 K
<em>p</em> = (<em>nRT</em>)/<em>V</em> = (1.4 mol × 0.082 06 L·atm·K⁻¹mol⁻¹ × 293.15 K)/10 L = 3.4 atm
Because the moon gets between the Sun and the Earth so you can't see the moon
