B, radon is correct. Interestingly, it often collects in basements from radioactive decay of rocks such as granite that contain uranium. Because it is an unreactive noble gas and because it is denser than air it sits in basements and must be pumped out. It collects in human lungs and is the second leading cause of lung cancer behind smoking.

Calculate the mass of ethyl alcohol required to prepare 540 grams of C4H6, if the reaction follows the scheme:
kkurt [141]

Answer:

Explanation:

2C₂H₅OH    =   C₄H₆  +  2H₂O  +  H₂

2 mole               1 mole

molecular weight of ethyl alcohol

mol weight of C₂H₅OH = 46 gm            

mol weight of C₄H₆  54 gm

540 gm of C₄H₆ = 10 mole

10 mole of C₄H₆ will require 20 mol of ethyl alcohol .

20 mole of ethyl alcohol = 20  x 46

= 920 gm

ethyl alcohol required = 920 gm .
