Answer:

1. 2C2H6 + 7O2 —> 4CO2 + 6H2O

2. 56moles of O2

Explanation:

Ethane undergo Combustion to produce CO2 and H20 according the equation below:

C2H6 + O2 —> CO2 + H2O

Let us balance the equation. There are 6 atoms of H on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balanced by putting 3 in front of H2O as shown below:

C2H6 + O2 —> CO2 + 3H2O

There are 2 atoms of C on left and 1atom on the right. It can be balanced by putting 2 in front of CO2 as shown below:

C2H6 + O2 —> 2CO2 + 3H2O

There are a total of 7 atoms of O on the right and 2 atoms on the left. It can be balanced by putting 7/2 in front of O2 as shown below:

C2H6 + 7/2O2 —> 2CO2 + 3H2O

Now we multiply through by 2 to remove the fraction as shown below

2C2H6 + 7O2 —> 4CO2 + 6H2O

Now the equation is balanced

2. 2C2H6 + 7O2 —> 4CO2 + 6H2O

From the equation above,

2 moles of ethane(C2H6) combined with 7moles of O2.

Therefore, 16moles of ethane(C2H6) will combine with = (16x7)/2 = 56moles of O2

Assuming the volumes are additive, what is the [Cl−] in a solution obtained by mixing 297 mL of 0.675 M KCl and 664 mL of 0.338
Elden [556K]

<u>Answer:</u> The concentration of chloride ions in the solution obtained is 0.674 M

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}     .....(1)

  • <u>For KCl:</u>

Molarity of KCl solution = 0.675 M

Volume of solution = 297 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.675=\frac{\text{Moles of KCl}\times 1000}{297}\\\\\text{Moles of KCl}=\frac{(0.675mol/L\times 297)}{1000}=0.200mol

1 mole of KCl produces 1 mole of chloride ions and 1 mole of potassium ion

Moles of chloride ions in KCl = 0.200 moles

  • <u>For magnesium chloride:</u>

Molarity of magnesium chloride solution = 0.338 M

Volume of solution = 664 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.338=\frac{\text{Moles of }MgCl_2\times 1000}{664}\\\\\text{Moles of }MgCl_2=\frac{(0.338mol/L\times 664)}{1000}=0.224mol

1 mole of magnesium chloride produces 2 moles of chloride ions and 1 mole of magnesium ion

Moles of chloride ions in magnesium chloride = (2\times 0.224)=0.448mol

Calculating the chloride ion concentration, we use equation 1:

Total moles of chloride ions in the solution = (0.200 + 0.448) moles = 0.648 moles

Total volume of the solution = (297 + 664) mL = 961 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Concentration of chloride ions}=\frac{0.648mol\times 1000}{961}\\\\\text{Concentration of chloride ions}=0.674M

Hence, the concentration of chloride ions in the solution obtained is 0.674 M

Scientists think the earth is approximately _____ years old.
diamong [38]

Answer is 4 ½ billion.

Scientists think the earth's age is 4 ½ billion. This calculation is based on the radioactive dating. Since the formation of the earth, the time period has been divided into 3 major geological time periods as eon. They are phanerozoic, proterozoic and archean.

Select the reason why two molecules of benzaldehyde cannot react via the aldol condensation.
Lesechka [4]
Benzaldehyde or C6H5CHO would not undergo the aldol condensation because it does not contain an alpha-hydrogen in its structure. Aldol condensation is a type of reaction that happens between an enolate and an aldehyde or ketone leading to a alkene that has a planar structure. The lack of an alpha-hydrogen would not allow for it to undergo such process since it cannot enolize. Benzaldehyde undergoes a nucleophilic reaction known as Claisen-Schmidt condensation. It has somehow same mechanism of the aldol reaction however, the nucleophilic attack on the carbonyl happens even without the alpha-hydrogen but with an enolate that is from a ketone.
