Answer:

Number of moles of CO₂ formed = 0.375 moles

number of moles of water formed = 0.75 moles

Explanation:

Acetylene reacts with oxygen according to the following chemical reaction:

2C_{2}H_{2}  + 5O_{2} = 4CO_{2}  + 2H_{2} O

The molar ratios are :

C₂H₂ = 2

O₂     = 5

CO₂  = 4

H₂O  = 2

The basis is to find a limiting reagent which is given by the lowest number of moles.

The molar mass of acetylene is = 26.04

number of moles of acetylene   = \frac{mass}{molar mass} \\ = \frac{12}{26.04} \\= 0.461 moles

Number of moles of O₂ = \frac{12}{32} \\= 0.375 moles

Number of moles of CO₂ formed = 0.375 moles

number of moles of water formed (2 x 0.375) = 0.75 moles

The product of the complete combustion of any fuel (in this case, acetylene) are indeed water and carbon dioxide. 
Balancing the combustion reaction,
                           C2H2 +(5/2) O2 --> 2CO2 + H2O
The number of moles of C2H2 will be,
                        (12 g) x (1 mole/26 g) = 6/13 mole
Then, the number of moles of O2 is,
                         (12 g) x (1 mole/32 g) = 3/8 mole
Therefore the limiting reaction is the O2. Getting the amount of CO2 and H2O produced from balancing,
             CO2 = (3/8 moles) x (2 moles CO2/ 5/2 mole O2)(44 g/ 1 mole) = 52.8 g
             H2O = (3/8 moles) x (1 mole / 5/2 mole O2)(18 g / 1 mole) = 2.7 g

A chemist wishing to do an experiment requiring 47-Ca2+ (half-life = 4.5 days) needs 5.0 μg of the nuclide. What mass of 47-CaCO
NARA [144]

Answer:

5.8μg

Explanation:

According to the rate or decay law:

N/N₀ = exp(-λt)------------------------------- (1)

Where N = Current quantity,  μg

            N₀ = Original quantity, μg

             λ= Decay constant day⁻¹

              t =  time in days

Since the half life is 4.5 days, we can calculate the  λ from (1) by  substituting N/N₀ = 0.5

0.5 = exp (-4.5λ)

ln 0.5  = -4.5λ

-0.6931 = -4.5λ

λ =   -0.6931 /-4.5

  =0.1540 day⁻¹

Substituting into (1)  we have :

N/N₀ = exp(-0.154t)----------------------------- (2)

To receive 5.0 μg of the nuclide with a delivery time of 24 hours or 1 day:

N = 5.0 μg

N₀ = Unknown

t = 1 day

Substituting into (2) we have

[5/N₀]   = exp (-0.154 x 1)

    5/N₀        = 0.8572

N₀  =  5/0.8572

     =    5.8329μg

    ≈     5.8μg

The Chemist must order 5.8μg  of 47-CaCO3

A 23.7 g piece of iron at 54.9°C is cooled and releases 338 J of heat. The specific heat of iron is 0.450 J/g°C.
ohaa [14]

Answer:

The heat capacity and the specific heat are related by C=cm or c=C/m. The mass m, specific heat c, change in temperature ΔT, and heat added (or subtracted) Q are related by the equation: Q=mcΔT. Values of specific heat are dependent on the properties and phase of a given substance.
