If a sample containing 2.50 ml of nitroglycerin (density=1.592g/ml) is detonated, how many total moles of gas are produced?

1 answer:

5 0

Density = mass / volume
mass of nitroglycerin = density x volume = 1.592 x 2.5 = 3.98 grams
molar mass of nitroglycerin = 3(12) + 5(1) + 3(14) + 9(16) = 227 grams
number of moles reacting = mass / molar mass = 3.98/227 = 0.017 moles

The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is as follows:
4C3H5N3O9 ..............> 12CO2(g) + 6N2(g) + O2(g) + 10H2O(g)

From the balanced equation:
4 moles of nitroglycerin produces a total of 12 + 6 + 1 + 10 = 29 moles of gas.
Therefore:
0.017 moles of nitroglycerin produces a total of:
(0.017 x 29) / 4 = 0.12325 moles of gases

You have 15.42g of C2H6. How many moles of H2O can be made?

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer: The moles of water produced are 1.54 moles.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Given mass of ethane = 15.42 g

Molar mass of ethane = 30.07 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of ethane}=\frac{15.42g}{30.07g/mol}=0.513mol$

The chemical equation for the combustion of ethane follows:

$2C_2H_6+5O_2\rightarrow 4CO2+6H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of ethane produces 6 moles of water

So, 0.513 moles of ethane will produce = $\frac{6}{2}\times 0.513=1.54mol$ of water

Hence, the moles of water produced are 1.54 moles.

A solution is created by dissolving 13.5 grams of ammonium chloride in enough water to make 235 ml of solution. how many moles o

erica [24]

Moles = 0.252 Molarity = 1.07 This question is badly worded. You're asking for moles and I suspect you really want molarity. The number of moles of ammonium chloride you have in the solution will remain constant regardless of the volume of the solution. However, the molarity of the solution will differ depending upon how concentrated it is. So I'll give you both the number of moles of ammonium chloride you have, and the molarity of the resulting solution. Please talk to your teacher if you're confused by the difference between moles and molarity. The formula for ammonium chloride is NH4Cl. So let's calculate it's molar mass. Start by looking up the associated atomic weights. Atomic weight nitrogen = 14.0067 Atomic weight hydrogen = 1.00794 Atomic weight chlorine = 35.453 Molar mass NH4Cl = 14.0067 + 4 * 1.00794 + 35.453 = 53.49146 g/mol Moles NH4Cl = 13.5 g / 53.49146 g/mol = 0.252376735 mol Molarity is defined as moles per liter, so let's divide the number of moles we have by the volume in liters. So: 0.252376735 mol / 0.235 l = 1.073943551 M Rounding to 3 significant figures gives: 0.252 moles, 1.07 molarity.

6. A sample of a gas has a mass of 0.527 g. Its volume is 0.35 L at a temperature of 88 degree Celsius and a pressure of 945 mm

Stels [109]

Answer: The molar mass of the gas is 35.87 g/mol.

Explanation:

To calculate the mass of gas, we use the equation given by ideal gas:

PV = nRT

or,

$PV=\frac{m}{M}RT$
