The correct answer is 0.16138

<u>Solution:</u>

Percentage transmission (%T) of the sample = 15.6

Therefore, Absorbance (A)  2 – log (%T) = 2 – log (15.6) = 0.8069

<u>Use Beer’s law:</u>

A = ε*c*l where ε = molar absorptivity of the solution, c = concentration of the solution, and l = path length of the solution.

Given A = 0.8069 and l = 5.00 cm, we must have

<u>0.8069 = ε*c*(5.00 cm)</u>

ε*c = 0.16138 cm-1

For the next part, assume that ε*c remains constant and we have

A’ = ε*c*l’ where l = 1.00 cm.

Plug in values and write

A’ = (0.16138 cm-1)*(1.00 cm) = 0.16138

The ratio of the light intensity entering the sample to the light intensity exiting the sample at a particular wavelength is defined as the transmittance. Absorption and transmission are two related and different quantities used in spectroscopy. The main difference between absorption and transmission is that absorption measures how much incident light is absorbed as it travels through the material, while transmission measures how much light is transmitted.

If 13.7 grams of manganese oxide reacts with excess hydrogen chloride gas, how many grams of water are formed?
Lerok [7]

Answer:

5.67 g OF WATER WILL BE FORMED WHEN 13.7 g OF MnO2 REACTS WITH HCl GAS.

Explanation:

EQUATION FOR THE REACTION

Mn02 + 4HCl --------> MnCl2 + Cl2 + 2H2O

From the balanced reaction between manganese oxide and hydrogen chloride gas;

1 mole of MnO2 reacts to form 2 mole of water

At STP, the molecular mass of the sample is equal to the mole of the substance. So therefore:

(55 + 16 * 2) g of MnO2 reacts to form 2 * ( 1 *2 + 16) g of water

(55 + 32) g of MnO2 reacts to form 2 * 18 g of water

87 g of MnO2 reacts to form 36 g of water

If 13.7 g of MnO2 were to be used?

87 g of MnO2 = 36 g of H2O

13.7 g of MnO2 = ( 13.7 * 36 / 87) g of water

= 493.2 / 87 g of water

Mass of water = 5.669 g of water

Approximately 5.67 g of water will be formed when 13.7 g of manganese oxide reacts with excess hydrogen chloride gas.

2C2H6(g) + 7O2(g) → 4CO2(g) + 6H2O(g)
Ket [755]

Answer:- 10 L of ethane.

Solution:- The given balanced equation is:

2C_2H_6(g)+7O_2(g)\rightarrow 4CO_2(g)+6H_2O(g)

From this equation, ethane and oxygen react in 2:7 mol ratio, the ratio of volumes would also be same if they are at same temperature and pressure.

Since 14 L of each gas are taken, the oxygen will be the limiting reactant and ethane will be the excess reactant. Let's calculate the volume of ethane used:

14LO_2(\frac{2LC_2H_6}{7LO_2})

= 4LC_2H_6

From above calculations, 4 L of ethane are used. So, excess volume of ethane left after the completion of reaction = 14 L - 4 L = 10 L

Hence, 10 L of ethane will be remaining.
