How many molecules of co2 form when 2.00 g of c2h5oh are produced?

Chemistry

Ronch [10]3 years ago
4 0
The reaction involved in this problem is called the combustion reaction where a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen to product carbon dioxide and water. The reaction of C2H5OH would be as follows:

C2H5OH + 3O2 = 2CO2 + 3H2O

To determine the number of molecules of CO2 that is formed, we need to determine the number of moles produced from the initial amount of C2H5OH and the relation from the reaction. Then we multiply avogadros number which is equal to 6.022x10^23 molecules per mole. 

2.00 g C2H5OH ( 1 mol C2H5OH / 46.08 g C2H5OH ) ( 2 mol CO2 / 1 mol C2H5OH ) = 0.0868 mol CO2
0.0868 mol CO2 ( 6.022x10^23 molecules / mol ) = 5.23x10^22 molecules CO2

Silicon Tetrachloride is reacted with very pure magnesium, producing silicon and magnesium chloride. (What would be the unbalanc
raketka [301]
Pure magnesium's formula would just be Mg because all elements except for 7 nonmetals are just left alone when they are by themselves in a formula. The 7 diatomic elements( means they have to have two of them without another element attached to it aka. a subscript two after it when it's by itself) are hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine. An easy way to remember the diatomic seven is that when looking at a periodic table if you trace over them from nitrogen over to fluorine and down to iodine all of those elements are diatomic + hydrogen. 

And your unbalanced and balanced equations are correct.

(sorry I went on a tangent with the diatomic rules hopefully it will help you in the future though)
