Basis of the calculation: 100g
 
For Carbon: 
 Mass of carbon = (100 g)(0.80) = 80 g
  Number of moles of carbon = (80 g)(1 mole / 12g) = 20/3

For Hydrogen:
  Mass of hydrogen = (100 g)(0.20) = 20 g
     Number of moles of hydrogen = (20 g)(1 mole / 1 g) = 20

Translating the answer to the formula of the substance,
     C20/3H20

Dividing the answer,
    CH3

The molar mass of the empirical formula is:
    12 + 3 = 15 g/mol

Since, the molar mass given for the molecular formula is 30.069 g/mol, the molecular equation is,
    C2H6

ANSWER: C2H6

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

2C3H8O + 9O2 ==> 6CO2 + 8H2O ... balanced equation

moles propanol = 5.26 g x 1 mol/60.1 g = 0.0875 moles

moles O2 = 31.8 g x 1 mol/31.9 g = 0.997 moles O2

Propanol is limiting based on the mol ratio in balance equation of 2 : 9

To find mass of O2 (excess reagent) left over, we will first find moles O2 used up.

moles O2 used = 0.0875 mol propanol x 9 mol O2/2 mol propanol = 0.394 moles O2 used

moles O2 left over = 0.997 mol - 0.394 mol = 0.603 mol O2 left

mass O2 left = 0.603 mol O2 x 32 g/mol = 19.3 g O2 left over

You did not provide possible answers, but one possible might be that the current atomic theory is so sound and plausible that there should not be anything that could change it in the near future.

A cylinder with a moving piston expands from an initial volume of 0.350 L against an external pressure of 1.90 atm. The expansio
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

1.84 L

Explanation:

Using the equation for reversible work:

W = -P*(V_{2} - V_{1})

Where:

W is the work done (J) = -287 J.

Since the gas did work, therefore W is negative.

P is the pressure in atm = 1.90 atm.

However, work done is in joules and pressure is in atm. We can use the values of universal gas constant as a convenient conversion unit. R = 8.314 J/(mol*K);  R = 0.0821 (L*atm)/(mol*K)

Therefore, the conversion unit is 0.0821/8.314 = 0.00987 (L*atm)/J

V_{1} is the initial volume = 0.350 L

V_{2} is the final volume = ?

Thus:

(-287 J)*0.00987 (L*atm)/J = -1.9 atm*(V_{2} - 0.350) L

V_{2} = [(287*0.00987)+(1.9*0.350)]/1.9 = (2.833+0.665)/1.9 =1.84 L

Consider the following reaction: CO(g)+2H2(g)⇌CH3OH(g) This reaction is carried out at a different temperature with initial conc
Anni [7]

Answer:

Ka = 4.76108

Explanation:

  • CO(g) + 2H2(g) ↔ CH3OH(g)

∴ Keq = [CH3OH(g)] / [H2(g)]²[CO(g)]

                      [ ]initial         change         [ ]eq

CO(g)              0.27 M       0.27 - x        0.27 - x

H2(g)              0.49 M       0.49 - x        0.49 - x

CH3OH(g)          0                0 + x               x = 0.11 M

replacing in Ka:

⇒ Ka = ( x ) / (0.49 - x)²(0.27 - x)

⇒ Ka = (0.11) / (0.49 - 0.11)² (0.27 - 0.11)

⇒ Ka = (0.11) / (0.38)²(0.16)

⇒ Ka = 4.76108
