The chemical reaction is given as:

<span>C8H10+3O2 = C8H6O4+2H2O

We are given the initial amount of para-xylene for the reaction. We use this amount and the relation of substances from the reaction to obtain the amount of the acid produced.

204 g ( 1 mol / 106.18 g ) ( 1 mol C8H6O4 / 1 mol C8H10 ) ( 166.14 g / mol ) = 319.20 g terephthalic acid</span>

How many grams of carbon should be burned in an excess of oxygen at stp to obtain 2. 21 l of carbon dioxide?.
snow_tiger [21]
You must burn 1.17 g C to obtain 2.21 L CO2 at
STP.
The balanced chemical equation is
C+02+ CO2.
Step 1. Convert litres of CO, to moles of CO2.
STP is 0 °C and 1 bar. At STP the volume of 1 mol
of an ideal gas is 22.71 L.
Moles of CO2= 2.21 L CO2 × (1 mol CO2/22.71 L
CO2) = 0.097 31 mol CO2
Step 2. Use the molar ratio of C:CO2 to convert
moles of CO to moles of C
Moles of C= 0.097 31mol CO2 × (1 mol C/1 mol
CO2) = 0.097 31mol C
Step 3. Use the molar mass of C to calculate the
mass of C
Mass of C= 0.097 31mol C × (12.01 g C/1 mol C) =
1.17 g C
It looks as if you are using the old (pre-1982)
definition of STP. That definition gives a value of
1.18 g C.

A solution of sodium hydroxide was titrated against a solution of sulfuric acid. How many moles of sodium hydroxide would react
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

2 mole of Sodium hydroxide reacts with 1 mole of Sulfuric acid

Explanation:

Write down the equation in the beginning with reactants and products:

NaOH + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + H₂0

Now try to balance it. Try with Na first:

2NaOH + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + H₂0

Na atoms are balanced. There are 6 Oxygen atoms on the right and 5 on the left. Balance by increasing the H₂O moles:

2NaOH + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂0

Check if H atoms are also balanced. They are. That means our final reaction is:

2NaOH + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂0

2 Moles of NaOH reacts with 1 mole of H₂SO₄

Which internal system is responsible for transporting oxygen and nutrients through an animal's body?
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

B: circulatory system

Explanation:

The circulatory system is made up of blood vessels that carry blood away from and towards the heart. Arteries carry blood away from the heart and veins carry blood back to the heart. The circulatory system carries oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to cells, and removes waste products, like carbon dioxide.
