Answer:

9.94 mL, the volume of ethanol needed

Explanation:

The reaction is:

C₂H₅OH(l) + 3 O₂(g) → 2 CO₂(g) + 3 H₂O(l)

We convert the mass of the formed product to moles:

15 g . 1mol / 44g = 0.341 moles

2 moles of dioxide are produced by 1 mol of ethanol, in order to stoichiometry.

Therefore, 0.341 moles of CO₂ must be produced by (0.341. 1) / 2 = 0.1705 moles of alcohol.

We convert the moles to mass, and then, the mass to volume by the use of density.

0.1705 mol . 46 g / 1 mol = 7.84 g of ethanol

Ethanol density = Ethanol mass /Ethanol volume

Ethanol volume = Ethanol mass /Ethanol density → 7.84 g /0.789 g/mL =

9.94 mL

Answer:

We need 9.95 mL of ethanol

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Density ethanol = 0.789 g/mL

Mass CO2 produced = 15.0 grams

Step 2: The balanced equation

C2H5OH(l) + 3 O2(g) → 2 CO2(g) + 3 H2O(l)

Step 3: Calculate moles CO2

Moles CO2 = mass CO2 / molar mass CO2

Moles CO2 = 15.0 grams / 44.01 g/mol

Moles CO2 = 0.341 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles ethanol

For 1 mol ethanol, 3 moles we need O2 to produce 2 moles CO2 and 3 moles H2O

For 0.341 moles CO2 we need 0.341 /2 = 0.1705 moles ethanol

Step 5: Calculate mass ethanol

Mass ethanol = moles ethanol * molar mass ethanol

Mass ethanol = 0.1705 moles * 46.07 g/mol

Mass ethanol = 7.85 grams

Step 6: Calculate volume ethanol

Volume ethanol = mass / density

Volume = 7.85 grams / 0.789 g/mL

Volume= 9.95 mL

We need 9.95 mL of ethanol

damaskus [11]

<u>Given:</u>

Mass of Ba = 1.50 g

Mass of H2O = 100.0 g

Initial temp T1 = 22 C

Final Temp T2 = 33.1 C

specific heat c = 4.18 J/g c

<u>To determine:</u>

The reaction enthalpy

<u>Explanation:</u>

The heat released during the reaction is:

q = - mc(T2-T1) = - (100+1.5) g *4.18 J/g C * (33.1-22) C = -4709.4 J

# moles of Ba = Mass of Ba/Atomic mass of Ba = 1.5 g/137 g.mol-1 = 0.0109 moles

ΔH = q/mole = - 4709.4 J/0.0109 moles = - 432 kJ/mol

Ans : The enthalpy change for the reaction is -432 kJ/mol

Calculate the number of moles in 2.5 grams of potassium chloride. Show all the steps.
Rufina [12.5K]
3.4 X 10^-2 because you start your equation with 2.5g in your (what we call train tracks). Then you have to find the GFM (gram formula mass) of KCl (potassium chloride). You find this by adding the average atomic mass of each element. Potassium's is 39.10 and Chlorine's is 35.45 which gives you a total of 74.55 grams per mol. so now that you have found the GFM you plug that number into the diagonal bottom in order to cancel the gram units. Then you would place 1 mol KCl on top because that is the unit you want. Finally you will divide your original 2.5 by the GFM of 74.55 to get an answer of 0.033534 mol KCl... but since sig figs matter your final  answer will be 3.4 X 10^-2
