The fuel used in many disposable lighters is liquid butane, c4h10. butane has a molecular weight of 58.1 grams in one mole. how many carbon atoms are in 3.50 g of butane?

First convert grams to moles using molar mass of butane that is 58.1 g

3.50g C4H10 x (1 mol C4H10)/(58.1g C4H10) = 0.06024 mol C4H10 

Now convert moles to molecules by using Avogadro’s number

0.06024 mol C4H10 x (6.022x10^23 molecules C4H10)/(1 mol C4H10) = 3.627x10^22 molecules C4H10 

And there are 4 carbon atoms in 1 molecule of butane, so use the following ratio: 

3.627 x 10^22 molecules C4H10 x (4 atoms C)/(1 molecule C4H10) 
= 1.45 x 10^23 atoms of carbon are present

the tides are influenced by both the moon and the sun, it's easy to see that when the sun lines up with the moon and the earth, as during a new moon or full moon, the tidal effect is increased. these are known as spring tides, named not for the season, but for the fact that the water "springs" higher than normal. on the other hand, if the sun and the moon are 90 degrees apart in relation to an observer on earth as during the first quarter moon or third quarter moon, then high tides are not as high as they normally would be. this is because despite its greater distance, the sun's mass allows it to exert enough gravitational force on the oceans that it can negate some of the effects of the moon's pull. this phenomenon of lower high tides is called a neap tide. if you need more information on this topic visit moonconnection.com.
