Chemistry

Masteriza [31]3 years ago

Asphalt is a biproduct of making gasoline, diesel, kerosene, jet fuel, all from crude oil pumped from the ground. Asphalt is the garbage or waste that comes out the bottom of the process of distilling those products. They heat the thick oily-sooty gunky asphalt and mix it with rock or sand and make roads out of it. So the compound would be the long hydrocarbon chains.

Answer:

a saturated hydrocarbon that has more than 35 carbons in its chain

Explanation: Alkanes with a chain length of approximately 35 or more carbon atoms are found in bitumen (asphalt), used (for example) in road surfacing. However, the higher alkanes have little value and are usually split into lower alkanes by cracking.

If you run the reaction to make water: 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O, starting with 3.0 moles of hydrogen gas and 2.0 moles of oxygen gas, wha
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

54 g is the theoretical yield

Explanation:

This is the reaction:

2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O

So 2 moles of hydrogen react with 1 mol of oxygen, to produce 2 mol of water.

If I have 3 moles of H₂ and 2 moles of O₂, the my limiting reactant is the hydrogen.

1 mol of O₂ react with 2 moles of H₂

S 2 mol of O₂ would react with 4 moles (I only have 3 moles)

Then, ratio is 2:2 the same as 1:1

As 2 mol of H₂ produce 2 moles of water, 3 moles of H₂ will produce 3 moles of H₂O.

This is the theoretical yield in moles. Let's convert them to mass (mol . molar mass)

3 mol . 18g/m = 54 g
