If a container were to have 24 molecules of C5H12 and 24 molecules of O2 initially, how many total molecules (reactants plus products) would be present in the container after this reaction goes to completion

81 molecules

Explanation:

The reaction between C5H12 and O2 is a combustion reaction and is represented by the following equation;

C5H12 + 8O2 --> 5CO2 + 6H2O

The ratio of C5H12 to O2 from the above equation is 1 : 8.

Aplying the conditins of the question; 24 molecules each of C5H12 and O2 we have;

3C5H12 + 24O2 --> 15CO2 + 18H2O

This means we have 24 - 3 = 21 molecules of C5H12 that are unreacted.

Total molecules is given as;

3(C5H12) + 24(O2) + 15(CO2) + 18(H2O) + 21(Unreacted C5H12) = 81 molecules

1. for the first question, we must find the mass of the anhydrous salt, mgso₄. the molar mass for mgso₄·7h₂o is 246.47 g/mol, while that of mgso₄ is 120.37 g/mol.7.834 g mgso₄·7h₂o * 1 mol mgso₄·7h₂o/246.47 g * 1 mol mgso₄/1 mol mgso₄·7h₂o * 20.37 g mgso₄/mol = 0.647 g mgso₄

2. mass of water = mass of sample - mass of anhydrous salemass of water = 7.834 - 0.647 = 7.19 gpercent water in hydrate = 7.19/7.834 * 100 = 91.74%
