The combustion of liquid ethanol (c2h5oh) produces carbon dioxide and water. after 4.61 ml of ethanol (density=0.789g/ml) was al

lowed to burn in the presence of 15.70 g of oxygen gas, 3.72 ml of water (density=1.00g/ml) was collected. part a determine the percent yield of h2o for the reaction.

1) Chemical equation

C2H5OH + 3 O2 ---> 2 CO2 + 3 H2O

2) Molar ratios

1 mol C2H5OH : 3 mol O2 : 2 mol CO2 : 3 mol H2O

3) Amount of ethanol burned

D = M / V => M = D * V = 0.789 g/ml * 4.61 ml = 3.637 g

Number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

molar mass of C2H5OH = 2 *12 g/mol + 6*1.0 g/mol + 16.0 g/mol = 46.0 g/mol

=> number of moles of C2H5OH = 3.637 g / 46.0 g/mol = 0.079 mol

4) Amount of oxygen, O2

number of moles of O2 = mass in grams / molar mass

number of moles O2 = 15.70g / 32.0 g/mol = 0.49 mol

5) Limiting reactant

Theoretical ratio: 1 mol C2H5OH / 3 mol O2

Actual ratio: 0.079 mol / 0.49 mol = 0.16

=> there is more oxygen than needed to burn all the ethanol => ethanol burns completely and it is the limiting reactant.

6) Theoretical yield of H2O

1 mol C2H5OH / 3 mol H2O = 0.079 mol C2H5OH / x

=> x = 0.079 mol C2H5OH * 3 mol H2O / 1 mol C2H5OH

=> x = 0.237 mol H2O

Conversion to grams:

mass = molar mass * number of moles

mass H2O = 18.0 g/mol * 0.237 g/mol = 4.27 g <---- theoretical yield

7) grams of H2O collected (yield)

M = V * D = 3.27 ml * 1.00 g/ml = 3.27 g <----- actual yield

8) Percent yield

Percent yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) * 100 = (3.27 g / 4.27) * 100 = 76.6%

Answer: 76.6%

Which would most likely be joined by an ionic bond?
KATRIN_1 [288]
An ionic bond is composed of a cation and anion, which are charged ions. You cannot have atoms with ionic bonds, because there is no opposite attraction between charges due to atoms having a net nuclear charge of zero. Therefore, a cation and anion would most likely be joined by an ionic bond.

Where would the electrons in the 3d sublevel be found? Possibly in any shell only in the n = 3 energy level in energy levels &gt
postnew [5]

Answer:

In the n = 3 energy level

Explanation:

There's is no further explanation for this.

All the electrons in an energy level are distribuited according to the period in the periodic table they are.

So, if we have an atom in period 1, like Hydrogen (H), that atom would only have 1 level energy (n = 1) and in that level, we only have the sub level 1s.

Electrons in the 3d sublevel, are found mostly in all the transition metals of period 3, and it can go from 1 to 10 electrons. To be with the 3d sub level it's neccesary that the energy level to be 3.

energy levels beyond that, like n = 4, we have electrons occupying the 3d sub level, so, primordly, the 3d is found only in energy level 3.

Hope this helps

Dinitrogen pentoxide can be made by the reaction of nitrogen with oxygen. Consider the reaction
Rom4ik [11]
The only reactants are Nitrogen and Oxygen and the only product is dinitrogen pentoxide. Following the law of conservation of mass, the total amount of reactants must equal the total amount of products. Thus, the total mass of dinitrogen pentoxide:
