An organic liquid is a mixture of methyl alcohol (CH3OH) and ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH). A 0.220-g sample of the liquid is burned in

an excess of O2(g) and yields 0.386 g CO2(g) (carbon dioxide). Set up two algebraic equations, one expressing the mass of carbon dioxide produced in terms of each reagent and the other expressing the mass of sample burned in terms of each reagent.What is the mass of methyl alcohol (CH3OH) in the sample?

Answer: the mass of methyl alcohol (CH3OH) in the sample is 0.0641 g

Explanation:

1. <u>Preliminars</u>;

  • Mass  of CH₃ OH: M
  • Mass of C₂H₅OH: E
  • Molar mass of CH₃ OH: 32.04 g/mol
  • Molar mass of C₂H₅OH: 46.07 g/mol
  • Molar mass of CO₂: 44.01 g/mol
  • Molar mass equation: molar mass = mass in grams / number of moles

2. <u><em>Algebraic equation # 1: mass of sample burned in terms of each reagent.</em></u>

  • M + E = 0.220 ------ (1)

3. <u><em>Algebraic equation # 2: mass of carbon dioxide produced in terms of each reagent</em></u>.

a) Combustion of methyl alcohol

  • 2CH₃OH(l) + 3O₂(g) → 2CO₂(g) + 4H₂O(g)
  • 2 mol CH₃OH → 2 mol CO₂
  • 2 × 32.04 g CH₃OH → 2 × 44.01 g CO₂
  • Mass of CO₂ produced from M grams of CH₃OH = M / 32.04 × 44.01 = 1.374 M

b) Combustion of ethyl alcohol

  • C₂H₅OH(l) + 3O₂(g) → 2CO₂(g) + 3H₂O(g)
  • 1 mol C₂H₅OH → 2 mol CO₂
  • 46.07 g CH₃OH → 2 × 44.01 g CO₂
  • Mass of CO₂ produced from E grams of C₂H₅OH = E / 46.07 × 88.02 = 1.911 E

c) Mass of CO₂ (g) obtained, in terms of each reagent

  •     1.374 M + 1.911 E = 0.386 ----- (2)

4) <u>System of equations</u>

  •        M   +         E = 0.220 ------ (1)
  • 1.374 M + 1.911 E = 0.386 ----- (2)

5) <u>Solution</u>

  • From equation (1): E = 0.220 - M
  • Substituting in equation (2): 1.374 M + 1.911 (0.220 - M) = 0.386
  • 1.374 M + 0.4204 - 1.911 M = 0.386
  • - 0.537 M = - 0.0344
  • M = 0.0344 / 0.537 = 0.0641 g

Answer:  the mass of methyl alcohol (CH3OH) in the sample is 0.0641 g

evablogger [386]

Answer:

Avogadro's number is the number of particles in one mole of anything. In this context, it is the number of atoms in one mole of an element. It's easy to find the mass of a single atom using Avogadro's number. Simply divide the relative atomic mass of the element by Avogadro's number to get the answer in grams.

Silicon Tetrachloride is reacted with very pure magnesium, producing silicon and magnesium chloride. (What would be the unbalanc
raketka [301]
Pure magnesium's formula would just be Mg because all elements except for 7 nonmetals are just left alone when they are by themselves in a formula. The 7 diatomic elements( means they have to have two of them without another element attached to it aka. a subscript two after it when it's by itself) are hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine. An easy way to remember the diatomic seven is that when looking at a periodic table if you trace over them from nitrogen over to fluorine and down to iodine all of those elements are diatomic + hydrogen. 

And your unbalanced and balanced equations are correct.

(sorry I went on a tangent with the diatomic rules hopefully it will help you in the future though)
