<span>Combustion reaction for octane is as follows.
2C</span>₈H₁₈ + 25O₂ → 16CO₂ + 18H₂O

Moles (mol) = mass (g) / molar mass (g/mol)

mass of octane = 15.1 g
molar mass of octane = <span>114.23 g/mol
Hence, moles of octane = 15. 1 g / </span><span>114.23 g/mol
                                       = 0.132 mol

The stoichiometric ratio between </span>C₈H₁₈ and CO₂ is 1 : 8.
Hence,
    moles of CO₂ produced = moles of octane burnt x 8
                                          = 0.132 mol x 8
                                          = 1.056 mol

Hence, 15.1 g of octane produce 1.056 moles of CO₂.

Most likely the answer is water and a salt. When a strong acid and strong base react the OH and H form water and the cation from the base and anion from the acid forms a salt. I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.

(a.) a 0.7549g sample of the compound burns in o2(g) to produce 1.9061g of co2(g) and 0.3370g of h2o(g).
Natali [406]

The individual mass of C, H and O in given sample are 0.5196 g, 0.0374 g and 0.1979 g respectively.

Moles of CO2 formed can be calculated as

= Mass of CO2 / Molar mass of CO2

= 1.9061 / 44 = 0.0433 moles

<h3>Calculation of no. of moles of carbon</h3>

Now, moles of C which is present in one mole of CO2 = 1 mole

Moles of C in 0.0433 moles of CO2 = 0.0433 moles

As we know that, molar mass of C = 12 g / mol

Mass of C in 0.7549 g of given sample can be calculated as

= 0.0433 × 12 =0.5196 g

Mass of H2O formed = 0.3370 g

Similarly, Molar Mass of H2O = 18 g / mol

Moles of H2O = 0.3370 / 18 = 0.0187 moles

Moles of H present in 1 mole of H2O = 2 moles

Moles of H present in 0.0187 mole of H2O = 2 × 0.0187 = 0.0374 moles

Molar mass of H = 1 g / mol

Mass of H contained in 0.7549 g of sample = 1 × 0.0374= 0.0374 g

Mass of O in 0.7549 g sample can be calculated as

= 0.7549 – [(Mass of C ) + (Mass of H) ]

= 0.7549 – [ (0.5196) + (0.0374) ]

= 0.1979 g

Thus, we calculated that the individual mass of C, H and O in given sample are 0.5196 g, 0.0374 g and 0.1979 g respectively.

Why bond angle of H2O is maximum then OF2??
Nataly_w [17]
It's lone a little distinction (103 degrees versus 104 degrees in water), and I trust the standard rationalization is that since F is more electronegative than H, the electrons in the O-F bond invest more energy far from the O (and near the F) than the electrons in the O-H bond. That moves the powerful focal point of the unpleasant constrain between the bonding sets far from the O, and thus far from each other. So the shock between the bonding sets is marginally less, while the repugnance between the solitary matches on the O is the same - the outcome is the edge between the bonds is somewhat less.
