The balanced equation for the above reaction is as follows;
2C₈H₁₈ + 25O₂ ---> 16CO₂ + 18H₂O
stoichiometry of octane to CO₂ is 2:16
number of C₈H₁₈ moles reacted - 191.6 g / 114 g/mol = 1.68 mol
when 2 mol of octane reacts it forms 16 mol of CO₂
therefore when 1.68 mol of octane reacts - it forms 16/2 x 1.68 = 13.45 mol of CO₂
number of CO₂ moles formed - 13.45 mol
therefore mass of CO₂ formed - 13.45 mol x 44 g/mol = 591.8 g
mass of CO₂ formed is 591.8 g
Answer:
The highlighted words in the explanation.
Explanation:
A clue comes by considering the noble gas elements, the rightmost column of the periodic table. These elements—helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon—do not form compounds very easily, which suggests that they are especially stable as lone atoms. What else do the noble gas elements have in common?
Throughout the metallic structure allowing the atoms to slide past each other. This sliding is why metals are ductile and malleable. Ioniccompound must break bonds to slide past one another, which causes the ionic material to split and crack.
Answer:
Biphenyl
Explanation:
The reaction of bromo benzene with magnesium-ether solution yields a Grignard reagent.
The byproduct of this reaction is biphenyl. It is formed when two unreacted bromobenzene molecules are coupled together.
Hence, It is advised that the bromobenzene solution be added slowly to the magnesium-ether solution so that it isn't present in a high concentration, thus reducing the amount of biphenyl by-product formed.
