If 156.06 g of propane, C3H8, is burned in excess oxygen, how many grams of water are formed? C3H8 + O2 → CO2 + H2O Select one: a. 255.0 b. 765.1 c. 191.3 d. 31.88

The correct option is;

a. 255.0 g

Explanation:

The given information are;

Mass of propane, C₃H₈ in the combustion reaction = 156.06 g

The equation of the combustion reaction is C₃H₈ + 5O₂ → 3CO₂ + 4H₂O

From the balanced chemical equation of the reaction, we have;

One mole of propane, C₃H₈ reacts with five moles oxygen gas, O₂, to form three moles of carbon dioxide, CO₂, and  four moles of water, H₂O

The molar mass of propane gas = 44.1 g/mol

The number of moles, n, of propane gas = Mass of propane gas/(Molar mass of propane gas) = 156.06/44.1 = 3.54 moles

Given that one mole of propane gas produces 4 moles of water molecule (steam) H₂O, 3.54 moles of propane gas will produce 4×3.54 = 14.16 moles of  (steam) H₂O

The mass of one mole of H₂O = 18.01528 g/mol

The mass of 14.16 moles of H₂O = 14.16 × 18.01528 = 255.0 g

The mass of H₂O produced = 255.0 g

1.consider the following balanced equation and answer parts a through. show calculations for each part.  

3 ag(s) + 4 hno3(aq) → 3 agno3(aq) + no(g) + 2 h2o(l)  

a. calculate the number of moles of agno3 produced by the reaction of 3 moles of ag with excess hno3. if the number to the left of the compound represents the number of moles of the compound which are present, then 3 moles of ag react with 4 moles hno3 to produce 3 moles agno3 (aq).

so the answer to a would be 3 moles.

b. calculate the number of moles of agno3 produced by the reaction of 108 grams of ag with excess hno3.  

i'm not sure how to plug in the grams of silver into an equation using moles to find how many moles are produced.

c. calculate the number of grams of agno3 produced by the reaction of 108 grams of ag with excess hno3  

d. calculate the number of moles of no produced as a byproduct of the reaction of 108 grams of ag with excess hno3.  

e. calculate the number of grams of no produced as a byproduct starting with 108 grams of ag and excess hno3.
