A sample of liquid heptane (C7H16) weighing 11.5 g is reacted with 1.3 mol of oxygen gas. The heptane is burned completely (hept

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

a) 0.525 mol

b) 0.525 mol

c) 0.236 mol

Explanation:

The combustion reactions (partial and total) will be:

C₇H₁₆ + (15/2)O₂ → 7CO + 8H₂O

C₇H₁₆ + 11O₂ → 7CO₂ + 8H₂O

---------------------------------------------------

2C₇H₁₆ + (37/2)O₂ → 7CO + 7CO₂ + 16H₂O

It means that the reaction will form 50% of each gas.

a) 0.525 mol of CO

b) 0.525 mol of CO₂

c) The molar mass of heptane is: 7*12 g/mol of C + 16*1 g/mol of H = 100 g/mol

So, the number of moles is the mass divided by the molar mass:

n = 11.5/100 = 0.115 mol

For the stoichiometry:

2 mol of C₇H₁₆ -------------- (37/2) mol of O₂

0.115 mol of C₇H₁₆ --------- x

By a simple direct three rule:

2x = 2.1275

x = 1.064 mol of O₂

Which is the moles of oxygen that reacts, so are leftover:

1.3 - 1.064 = 0.236 mol of O₂

What is the salinity seawater?

BigorU [14]

<span>Seawater is water from a sea or ocean. On average, seawater in the world's oceans has a salinity of approximately 3.5% or 35 parts per thousand. This means that for every 1 liter (1000 mL) of seawater there are 35 grams of salts (mostly, but not entirely, sodium chloride) dissolved in it.

Explanation:

Aqueous hydroiodic acid reacts with liquid water in a reversible reaction.

2 HI + 2 H₂O ⇔ 2 H₃O + I₂

This is an acid-base reaction. HI is the acid, and H₂O is the base. The conjugate acid is H₃O, and the conjugate base is I₂. You can figure out the acid and base by a using a table of strong/weak acids and bases. The conjugate will have one less or one more H⁺ depending on if it's an acid or a base.

The expression for Kₐ of the reaction is below. You have to put the acid and its conjugate base on the top and the base and its conjugate on the bottom. I didn't put in H₂O since, although it is the base in this equation, it isn't really a base.

$K_{a}=\frac{[HI][H_{3}O] }{[I_{2}] }$

Solid zinc reacts with solid manganese (IV) oxide producing solid zinc oxide and solid manganese (III) oxide.

Zn + 2 MnO₂ ⇒ ZnO + Mn₂O₃

This is a redox reaction. The Zn is being oxidized, and the Mn is being reduced.

Oxidation: Zn ⇒ Zn⁺² + 2 e⁻

Reduction: Mn⁺⁴ + e⁻ ⇒ Mn⁺³

Aqueous silver nitrate reacts with aqueous calcium chloride.

2 AgNO₃ + CaCl₂ ⇒ 2 AgCl + Ca(NO₃)₂

This is a precipitation reaction. You have two soluble salts combing to form a solution. You now need to figure out which of the compounds produced are not soluble. AgCl is the compound that is not soluble in water, making it the precipitate.

I think I covered everything. If I missed something let me know.
