How many milliliters of c5h8 can be made from 366 ml c5h12 ? density of c5h12 = 0.620 g/ml density of c5h8 = 0.681 g/ml density of h2= 0.0899g/l explain

The number of Ml  of C₅H₈  that can  be  made  from 366  ml  C₅H₁₂  is 314.7 ml  of C₅H₈

  calculation

 step  1: write  the  equation for  formation of C₅H₈

C₅H₁₂  →  C₅H₈  + 2 H₂

Step 2: find the mass of C₅H₁₂

mass = density × volume

= 0.620 g/ml × 366 ml =226.92 g

Step 3: find moles  Of  C₅H₁₂

moles  = mass÷  molar mass

from periodic table the  molar mass of  C₅H₁₂ = (12 x5) +(  1 x12) = 72 g/mol

moles = 226.92 g÷ 72 g/mol =3.152 moles

Step 4: use the  mole ratio  to determine the  moles of C₅H₈

C₅H₁₂:C₅H₈  is 1:1  from equation above

Therefore the  moles of C₅H₈  is also = 3.152  moles

Step 5: find the mass  of C₅H₈

mass = moles x molar mass

from periodic table the  molar mass of C₅H₈ = (12 x5) +( 1 x8) = 68 g/mol

= 3.152  moles x 68 g/mol = 214.34 g

Step 6: find Ml of  C₅H₈

=mass / density

= 214.34 g/0.681 g/ml = 314.7 ml

because natural gas is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, distributors add mercaptan (a chemical that smells like sulfur) to give natural gas a distinct unpleasant odor (it smells like rotten eggs). they locate the types of rock that are likely to contain natural gas deposits.
