marin [14]

Answer:

$C_2H_6O$

Explanation:

The first step is the calculation of the moles of $H_2O$ and $CO_2$ , so:

$114.6~g~CO_2\frac{1~mol~CO_2}{44~g~CO_2}=2.6~mol~of~CO_2$

$70.44~g~H_2O\frac{1~mol~H_2O}{18~g~H_2O}=~3.9~mol~H_2O$

Now, in 1 mol of CO2 we have 1 mol of C and in 1 mol of $H_2O$ we have 1 mol of H. Additionally, if we want to calculate the moles of oxygen we need to calculate the grams of C and O and then do the substraction form the initial amount, so:

$2.6~mol~CO_2\frac{1~mol~C}{1~mol~CO_2}\frac{12~g~C}{1~mol~C}=31.25~g~of~C$

$3.9~mol~H_2O\frac{2~mol~H}{1~mol~H_2O}\frac{1~g~H}{1~mol~H}=7.82~g~of~H$

$Total~grams=~31.25~+~7.82=39.08~g$

$grams~of~O=60.00~g-~39.08~g=20.92~g~of~O$

Now we can convert the grams of O to moles, so:

$20.92~g~of~O\frac{1~mol~O}{16~g~O}=1.30~mol~O$

The next step is to divide all the mol values by the smallest one:

$O=\frac{1.30~mol~O}{1.30~mol~O}=~1$

$C=\frac{2.6~mol~C}{1.30~mol~O}=~2$

$H=\frac{7.82~mol~H}{1.30~mol~O}=6$

Therefore the formula is $C_2H_6O$

When 3.51 g of phosphorus was burned in chlorine, the product was a phosphorus chloride. Its vapor took 1.77 times as long to ef

kumpel [21]

Answer:

molar mass of the phosphorus chloride = 138.06 g/mol

Explanation:

mass of phosphorus will be the same as mass of CO2, since it is stated that they are of equal amount.

mass = 3.51 g

lets assume that it took the CO2 1 sec to effuse, then the time taken by the phosphorus chloride will be 1.77 sec

From this we can say that

rate of effusion of CO2 = 3.51/1 = 3.51 g/s

rate of effusion of the phosphorus chloride = 3.51/1.77 = 1.98 g/s

From graham's equation of effusion,

$\frac{Rc}{Rp}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{Mp\\}{Mc} }$

Rc = rate of effusion of CO2 = 3.51 g/s

Rp = rate of effusion of phosphorus chloride = 1.98 g/s

Mc = molar mass of CO2 = 44.01 g/mol

Mp = molar mass of the phosphorus chloride = ?

Imputing values into the equation, we have

$\frac{3.51}{1.98}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{Mp\\}{44.01} }$

1.77 = $\frac{\sqrt{Mp} }{6.64}$

11.75 = $\sqrt{Mp}$

Mp = $11.75^{2}$

Mp = molar mass of the phosphorus chloride = 138.06 g/mol

2C4 H10 + 13O2 -→ 8CO2 + 10H2O If 356 moles of O2 are available to react, how many moles of CO2 will fom?

nlexa [21]

Answer:

Answer:

The mole ratio of C₄H₁₀ and CO₂ is 2 : 8, which simplifies to 1 : 4.

Explanation:

The mole ratio is the relative proportion of the moles of products or reactants that participate in the reaction according to the chemical equation.

The chemical equation given is:

2C₄H₁₀ + 13O₂ → 8CO₂ + 10H₂O

Once you check that the equation is balanced, you can set the mole ratios for all the reactants and products. The coefficients used in front of each reactant and product, in the balanced chemical equation, tells the mole ratios.

In this case, they are: 2 mol C₄H₁₀ : 13 mol O₂ : 8 mol CO₂ : 10 mol H₂O

Since you are asked about the mole ratio of C₄H₁₀ and CO₂ it is:

2 mol C₄H₁₀ : 8 mol CO₂ , which dividing by 2, simplifies to

1 mol C₄H₁₀ : 4 mol CO₂, or

1 : 2.
