Calculate the mass of water produced when 9.57 g of butane reacts with excess oxygen. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

14.9 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

C₄H₁₀ + 6.5 O₂ ⇒ 4 CO₂ + 5 H₂O

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 9.57 g of C₄H₁₀

The molar mass of C₄H₁₀ is 58.12 g/mol.

9.57 g × 1 mol/58.12 g = 0.165 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of H₂O produced from 0.165 moles of C₄H₁₀

0.165 mol C₄H₁₀ × 5 mol H₂O/1 mol C₄H₁₀ = 0.825 mol H₂O

Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 0.825 mol of H₂O

The molar mass of H₂O is 18.02 g/mol.

0.825 mol × 18.02 g/mol = 14.9 g

first let us lay out the formula for potential

and kinetic energy:

pe = mgh

ke = (mv^2)/2

where: m=mass, v=velocity, g=gravitational

acceleration, h=height

calculating for mass using the known values of

pe:

340j = m (9.81 m/s^2) (50ft) (1m/3.28ft)

m = 2.27 kg

the law of conservation of energy states that

energy is neither created nor destroyed. therefore, the change in kinetic

energy from 50 ft to 35 ft would be equal to the change in potential energy

from 50 ft to 35 ft. however it would be opposite in signs since one is losing

while other is gaining.

ke(35ft) – ke(50ft) = - [ pe(35ft) – pe(50ft]

ke(50ft) = 0 since the brick is initially at rest

ke(35ft) = 340j - 2.27kg (9.81 m/s^2) (35ft)

(1m/3.28 ft)

ke(35ft)

= 102.38 j
