Consider the reaction below. if you start with 4.00 moles of c3h8 (propane) and 4.00 moles of o2 , how many moles of propane would be consumed?

0.800 mol

Explanation:

We have the amounts of two reactants, so this is a limiting reactant problem.  

We know that we will need a balanced equation with moles of the compounds involved.  

Step 1. Gather all the information in one place.

            C₃H₈ + 5O₂ ⟶ 3CO₂ + 4H₂O

n/mol:  4.00    4.00

Step 2. Identify the limiting reactant

Calculate the moles of CO₂ we can obtain from each reactant.  

From C₃H₈:

The molar ratio of CO₂: C₃H₈ is 3:1

Moles of CO₂ = 4.00 × 3/1

Moles of CO₂ = 12.0 mol CO₂

From O₂:

The molar ratio of CO₂: O₂ is 3:5.

Moles of CO₂ = 4.00 × ⅗

Moles of CO₂ = 2.40 mol CO₂

O₂ is the limiting reactant because it gives the smaller amount of CO₂.

Step 3. Calculate the moles of C₃H₈ consumed.

The molar ratio of C₃H₈:O₂ is 1:5.

Moles of C₃H₈ = 4.00 × ⅕

Moles of C₃H₈ = 0.800 mol C₃H₈

smooth muscle is composed of involuntary muscles found within the walls of organs and structures such as the esophagus, stomach, intestines, and blood vessels. those muscles push materials like food or blood through organs. unlike skeletal muscle, smooth muscle can never be under your control.

the answer is na (sodium)
