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 =

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

Which of these has the most covalent character? <br> NaF Caf2 Bef2 CsF SrF2
Ksenya-84 [330]

Thus BeF2 is of most covalent character.

Anyways, covalent/ionic character is a bit tricky to figure out; we measure the difference in electronegativity of two elements bonding together and we use the following rule of thumb: if the charge is 0 (or a little more), the bond is non-polar covalent; if the charge is > 0 but < 2.0 (some references say 1.7), the bond is polar covalent; if the charge is > 2.0 then the bond is ionic. Covalent character refers to smaller electronegativity difference while ionic character refers to greater electronegativity difference.


Now, notice all of our bonds are with F, fluorine, which has the highest electronegativity of 3.98. This means that to determine character we need to consider the electronegativities of the other elements -- whichever has the greatest electronegativity has the least difference and most covalent character.
Na, sodium, has electronegativity of 0.93, so our difference is ~3 -- meaning our bond is ionic. Ca, calcium, has 1.00, leaving our difference to again be ~3 and therefore the bond is ionic. Be, beryllium, has 1.57 yielding a difference of ~2.5, meaning we're still dealing with ionic bond. Cs, cesium, has 0.79, meaning our difference is again ~3 and therefore again our compound is of ionic bond. Lastly, we have Sr, strontium, with an electronegativity of 0.95 and therefore again a difference of roughly 3 and an ionic bond. <span>

A gas at 1.5 atm had pits ressure decreased to 0.50 atm producing a new volume of 750 ml what was its original volume
Vlada [557]

Answer:

The original volume of the gas is 0.001 mL

Explanation:

This easy excersise can be solved by the law for gases, about pressure and volume; the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure it exerts.

We can propose the rule by this formula:

P₁  / V₁ = P₂ / V₂

We replace data given: 1.50 atm / V₁ = 0.50 atm / 750 mL

As the rule says, that volume is inversely proportional, and the pressure was decreased, volume must be lower than 750 mL.

1.5atm / (0.5 atm / 750mL) = V₁

V₁ = 0.001 mL
