Propane (C3H8 ) reacts with oxygen (O2 ) to form carbon dioxide (CO2 ) and water (H2O ). When the equation below is balanced, the coefficient of water is:
 
  C3H8 + O2  CO2 + H2O
  A) 1
  B) 4
  C) 2
  D) 3

Question 2

A student measures 10.5 g of mercury(II) oxide into an open test tube and heats the tube. The heat causes the mercury(II) oxide to decompose into mercury and oxygen. After reaction, the student finds the mass of the contents of the tube to be 9.
 
  7 g. Which one of the following describes these observations? A) The decomposition of mercury(II) oxide does not obey the Law of Conservation of Mass.
  B) 0.8 grams of oxygen gas are lost from the tube.
  C) There are errors associated with the student's measurements.
  D) Heating destroys some mass.
