1) That looks right. 2) Step 1: Moles=Mass/Mr, so it's 144/72= 2mol. Step 2: Stoichiometry means the ratio of oxygen to pentane is 1:8 so moles of oxygen is moles of pentane times 8. 2*8=16mol of oxygen. Step 3: 16= 9.6*10^24. 3) The ratio of oxygen to carbon in CO2 is 1:2. so it's 192/3 = 64.
Carbon atoms are about 25% lighter than oxygen atoms (the ratio of their weights is 3 to 4). What is the weight ratio of the carbon and oxygen that go into the formation of carbon monoxide? Answer the same question for carbon dioxide. Answer: Carbon monxyde has the chemical composition CO, i.e. there is one carbon atom for every oxygen atom; therefore the weight ratio of carbon to oxygen in this compound is just the weight ratio of the atoms, i.e. 3 to 4. In carbon dioxide, , there are two oxyen atoms per carbon atom, so the carbon to oxygen weight ratio in carbon dioxide is 3 to 8. [2.4] Which of these is a pure compound, which is an element, and which is neither: (a) pure water, (b) oxygen gas, (c) liquid mercury, (d) , (e) U, (f) air,
