Butane, C4H10, is a component of natural gas that is used as fuel for cigarette lighters. The balanced equation of the complete

combustion of butane is 2C4H10(g)+13O2(g)→8CO2(g)+10H2O(l) At 1.00 atm and 23 ∘C, what is the volume of carbon dioxide formed by the combustion of 1.40 g of butane?

Answer:

So the volume will be 2.33 L

Explanation:

The reaction for the combustion is:

2 C₄H₁₀ (g) + 13 O₂ (g) → 8 CO₂ (g) + 10 H₂O (l)

mass of butane to moles (mass / molar mass)

1.4 g / 58 g/mol

= 0.024 moles

2 moles of butane can produce 8 moles of carbon dioxide

0.024 moles of butane must produce (0.024 × 8) /2

= 0.096 moles of CO₂

Now we apply the Ideal Gases Law to find out the volume formed.

P . V = n . R . T

p = 1atm

n = 0.096 mol

R = 0.082 L.atm/mol.K

T = 273 + 23 = 296K

V = ?

1atm × V = 0.096 mol × 0.082 L.atm/mol.K × 296K

V = 0.096 mol × 0.082 L.atm/mol.K × 296K / 1atm

= 2.33 L

So the volume will be 2.33 L

Answer:

the volume of carbon dioxide formed by the combustion of 1.40 g of butane is 2.3447 L

Explanation:

Given:

2C₄H₁₀(g) + 13O₂(g)      ⇒        8CO₂(g) + 10H₂O(l)

pressure(P) = 1.00 atm

temperature(t) = 23°C

Mass of butane(m) = 1.40 g

From the balanced equation of the complete combustion of butane(C₄H₁₀), 2 moles of butane produce 8 moles of carbon dioxide(CO₂). Therefore 1 mole of butane would produce 2 mole of carbon dioxide

Therefore The molar mass of butane(M) = M(C₄H₁₀) = (12 ×4) + (1 × 10) = 48 + 10 = 58 g/mol

The amount of mole of butane(n) = mass of butane(m)/molar mass of butane(M)

n(C₄H₁₀) = m/M

n(C₄H₁₀) = 1.4/58 = 0.0241 mole

since 1 mole of  butane gives 4 mole of carbon dioxide, therefore 0.0241 mole of butane = 4 × 0.0241 mole of carbon dioxide.

n(CO₂) = 4 × n(C₄H₁₀) = 4 × 0.0241 = 0.0966 mole

volume of carbon dioxide formed by the combustion of 1.40 g of butane (V) is given by

PV = nRT

∴ V = nRT/P

T = 23°C = 23 + 273 = 296 K

R = 0.08205 L atm mol⁻¹ K⁻¹

since V = nRT/P

substituting values,

V = (0.0966 × 0.0820 × 296)/1 = 2.3447

V = 2.3447 L

How many moles of KOH are required to produce 4.79 g K3PO4 according to the following reaction? 3KOH + H3PO4 -----> K3PO4 + 3
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

0.677 moles

Explanation:

Take the atomic mass of K = 39.1, O =16.0, P = 31.0

no. of moles = mass / molar mass

no. of moles of K3PO4 used = 4.79 / (39.1x3 + 31 + 16x4)

= 0.02256 mol

From the equation, the mole ratio of KOH : K3PO4 = 3 :1,

meaning every 3 moles of KOH used, produces 1 mole of K3PO4.

So, using this ratio, let the no. of moles of KOH required to be y.

\frac{3}{1} =\frac{y}{0.02256} \\

y = 0.02256 x3

y = 0.0677 mol

If you don't find exactly 0.677 moles as one of the options, go for the closest one. A very slight error may occur because of taking different significant figures of atomic masses when calculating.

1. What is an isomer? How many possible isomers of hexane are there? What are the structural differences between these isomers?
VARVARA [1.3K]
Answer 1:
Isomers are compounds with same molecular formula but different structure formula. Isomers are classified into two types
a) Structural/configurational isomers
b) Stereo isomers
In structural/configurational isomers  atom and functional groups are attached in different fashion. Structural isomers may have different functional groups. Structural isomers are further classified as chain isomers, position isomers and functional isomers. In case of stereo-isomers, compounds have same functional group, but different orientation in space. They also have difference activity towards polarized light.

 Answer 2:
Hexane has a molecular formula of C6H14. It exhibits following structural isomers
a) hexane<span>,
b) 2-methylpentane
c)3-methylpentane
d) 2,2-dimethylbutane
e) 2,3-dimethylbutane
Thus, in all there are 5 isomers of hexane

Answer 3: 
</span><span>Butane has two possible isomers but that decane has 75 possible isomers. This can be attributed to the fact that butane has 4 carbon atoms, while decane has 10 carbon atom. As the number of carbon atom increases, there are higher possible sites of linkage, in different fashion. Therefore, as number 69 of carbon atoms increases, number of different possible isomers increases. 

Answer 4:
It has been observed that, though isomers have same molecular formula, but the have different boiling points. Infact, branched isomers have lower boiling point as compared to linear isomers. For example, hexane has boiling point = 69 oC, 2 methyl pentane has boiling point = 60 oC, 2,4, dimethyl butane has boiling point = 58 oC and 2,2 dimethyl butane has boiling point = 50 oC. Thus, it can be observed that branched isomers have lower boiling points as compared to linear isomers. This can be attributed to lower van der Waal's forces of interaction in branched isomers as compared to linear isomers.

Where do the protons and electrons come from that are used in the electron transport chain?
blondinia [14]
The energy generated by the movement of electrons is used to pump electrons across the inner mitochondrial membrane to an area of higher concentration. 17. Where do these protons (H+) come from? The originally came from a glucose molecule and were carried to the electron transport chain by NADH and FADH2.

The answer would be glucose molecule.
