Hexadecane is a large hydrocarbon molecule. When one molecule of hexadecane is cracked, the products are one molecule of decane and one molecule of hexene.
hexadecane→decane+hexene \text{hexadecane} \rightarrow \text{decane} + \text{hexene} hexadecane→decane+hexeneCalculate the maximum mass of decane that could be produced when 452 g of hexadecane is cracked in this reaction. (relative formula masses: hexadecane = 226, decane = 142)
