The mass of oxygen required to react with 7.6 g of ethanol is 5.3 g.

<h3>Further Explanation</h3>

This problem is a stoichiometric problem. To solve problems like this we always begin with the balanced equation. Then, we use the stoichiometric ratios provided by the coefficients of the reactants and products.

1. Write the balanced chemical equation.

CH₃CH₂OH + O₂ → H₂O + CH₃COOH

2. Convert the mass of oxygen to moles.

7.6 \ g \ CH_3CH_2OH \times \frac{1 \ mol CH_3CH_2OH}{46.07 \ g} = 0.165 \ mol \ CH_3CH_2OH\\

3. Determine the equivalent moles of oxygen that reacts with the given quantity of ethanol. The stoichiometric ratio for ethanol and oxygen indicated in the balanced chemical equation is 1:1.

moles \ O_2 = 0.165 \ mol \ CH_3CH_2OH \times \frac{1 \ mol O_2}{ 1 \ mol CH_3CH_2OH}\\\\moles \ O_2 = 0.165 \ mol \ O_2

4. Convert the moles of O₂ to mass.

mass \ of \ O_2 = 0.165 \ mol \ O_2 \times \frac{32 \ g}{1 \ mol \ O_2 }\\\\\boxed {mass \ of \ O_2 \ = 5.28 \ g}

The answer required should only have 2 significant digits. Therefore, the final answer is:

\boxed {\boxed {mass \ of \ O_2 \ = 5.3 \ g}}

1) Chemical reaction

CH3 CH2 OH + O2 ---> CH3COOH + H2O

It is balanced

2) Molar ratios

1 mol CH3 CH2OH : 1 mol O2 : 1 mol CH3COOH : 1 mol H2O

3) Conversion of 7.6 grams of ethanol to moles

Molar mass of CH3CH2OH = 2 * 12g/mol + 6 * 1 g/mol + 16 g/mol = 46 g/mol

moles = mass / molar mass = 7.6 g / 46g/mol = 0.165 mol

4) Use of proportions with the molar ratios:

1mol CH3CH2OH / 1mol O2 = 0.165 mol CH3CH2OH / x => x = 0.165 mol CH3CH2OH.

5)  Conversion of 0.165 mol O2 to grams

mass in grams = number of moles * molar mass = 0.165 mol * (2 * 16g/mol)

mass = 5.28 g ≈ 5.3 g

Answer: 5.3 g

What is the molality of a solution that is obtained by dissolving 2.922 g of NaCl into 1000.0 g of water if the molar mass of Na
never [62]
In order to find molarity, you must first find the number of moles that was dissolved.

Now, Moles = Mass ÷ Molar Mass
                   
⇒  Moles of NaCl  = 2.922 g ÷ 58.44 g/mol 
                       
                               = 0.05 moles

∴ the Molarity of the NaCl is 0.05 M [Option 1]

Will give lots of points if answered correctly. Determine the kb for chloroform when 0.793 moles of solute in 0.758 kg changes t
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer: The value of K_{b} for chloroform is 3.62^{o}C/m when 0.793 moles of solute in 0.758 kg changes the boiling point by 3.80 °C.

Explanation:

Given: Moles of solute = 0.793 mol

Mass of solvent = 0.758

\Delta T_{b} = 3.80^{o}C

As molality is the number of moles of solute present in kg of solvent. Hence, molality of given solution is calculated as follows.

Molality = \frac{no. of moles}{mass of solvent (in kg)}\\= \frac{0.793 mol}{0.758 kg}\\= 1.05 m

Now, the values of K_b is calculated as follows.

\Delta T_{b} = i\times K_{b} \times m

where,

i = Van't Hoff factor = 1 (for chloroform)

m = molality

K_{b} = molal boiling point elevation constant

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

\Delta T_{b} = i\times K_{b} \times m\\3.80^{o}C = 1 \times K_{b} \times 1.05 m\\K_{b} = 3.62^{o}C/m

Thus, we can conclude that the value of K_{b} for chloroform is 3.62^{o}C/m when 0.793 moles of solute in 0.758 kg changes the boiling point by 3.80 °C.

Imagine the movement of a single gas molecule inside a container. Explain the particles motions in terms of kinetic- molecular t
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

we know that gas molecules move fast by hitting the container and they never meet,so if we have one single gas molecule then it will move slower . This is because it is alone in an empty container so until it hits the container to change it's movements it will make the process slower.

Read the explanation below to have a better idea based on the kinetic molecular theory.

Explanation:

Hello in this question we have a container and in it is a single gas molecule. So there is our gas molecule and in fact right there that violates the kinetic molecular theory. Because the kinetic molecular theory thinks of these particles as being dimension less points. Because there is so much space between particles. The particles themselves have such an insignificant volume as they can be thought of as dimension lys points. Okay. But anyway this particle is in rapid motion and this motion is essentially random. So it's moving and it will eventually hit the wall of its container. It's moving rapidly so it's going to hit it pretty quickly and when it hits the wall of that container Yeah, it is going to bounce off when it does that. It's a totally elastic collision. So that means there will be no energy transfer, no energy loss, no energy gained. It will just serve to change the direction of the particle. So when it hits the wall it's going to bounce back off the wall and continue in a straight line until it hits another wall and then it will bounce off that wall and it will continue moving in this motion in this motion its speed is related to the amount of energy it has and therefore its temperature. So if we add heat, it will move faster. If we remove heat or cool it down, it will move slower. So when we remove heat, it will move slower. The kinetic molecular theory says it will be constantly moving As long as it is above absolute zero. It's only at absolute zero or 0 Kelvin, where would stop moving. Okay, so all these things describe its motion. It's in rapid random motion in a straight line until it hits the wall of its container. Then it will rebound without a transfer of any energy. It will be totally elastic collision. If we were to heat it up, it would move faster. If we were to cool it down, it would move more slowly, we would have to cool it all the way down to absolute zero before it would stop moving. Right, so all of these things describe its motion. In terms of that kinetic molecular theory,
