Answer:

Explanation:

a) The mass of the reactants is 2.36 grams, and the mass of the products is 1.57 grams plus the mass of the carbonic acid. Thus, using the law of conservation of mass, we get the mass of the carbonic acid is 2.36 - 1.57 = 0.79 grams.

b) The gram-formula mass of sodium bicarbonate is 84.006 g/mol, meaning that 2.36/84.006 = 0.028 moles were consumed. Thus, this means that in theory, 0.014 moles of carbonic acid should have been produced, which would have a mass of (0.014)(62.024)=0.868 grams. Thus, the percentage yield is (0.79)/(0.868) * 100 = 91%

Caffeine, a stimulant found in coffee and soda, has the following elemental composition: 49.48% carbon, 5.19% hydrogen, 16.48% o

prisoha [69]

Answer:

Explanation:

C = 49.48

H = 5.19

O = 16.48

N = 28.85

ratio of moles

= 49.48 / 12 : 5.19 / 1 : 16.48 / 16 : 28.85 / 14

= 4.123 : 5.19 : 1.03 : 2.06

= 4 : 5 : 1 : 2

so the empirical formula = C₄ H₅O N₂

Let molecular formula = ( C₄ H₅ON₂ )ₙ ,

n ( 48 + 5 + 16 + 28 ) = 119.19

97 n = 194.19

n = 2 ( approx )

molecular formula = C₈ H₁₀O₂ N₄

Calculate the number of pounds of CO2CO2 released into the atmosphere when a 22.0 gallon22.0 gallon tank of gasoline is burned i

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

391.28771 pounds of carbon-dioxide was released into the atmosphere when 22.0 gallon tank of gasoline is burned in an automobile engine.

Explanation:

Density of the gasoline ,d= 0.692 g/mL

Volume of gasoline in an tanks,V = 22.0 gallons = 83,279.02 mL

Let mass of the gasoline be M

$Density= \frac{Mass}{Volume}$

M = V × d = 83,279.02 mL × 0.692 g/mL=57,629.081 g

Given that gasoline is primarily octane.

$2C_8H_{18}+25O_2\rightarrow 16CO_2+18H_2O$

Mass of octane burnt in the tank = M = 57,629.081 g

Moles of octane = $\frac{57,629.081 g}{114.08g/mol}=505.1637 mol$

According to reaction, 2 moles of octane gives 16 moles of carbon-dioxide.

Then 505.1637 mol of octane will give:

$\frac{16}{2}\times 505.1637 mol=4,041.3100 mol$ of carbon-dioxide

Mass of 4,041.3100 mol of carbon-dioxide:

4,041.3100 mol × 44.01 g/mol = 177,858.05 g

Mass of carbon-dioxide produced in pounds = 391.28771 pounds

391.28771 pounds of carbon-dioxide was released into the atmosphere when 22.0 gallon tank of gasoline is burned in an automobile engine.
