5.862 moles of O₂

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given:

Combustion of 54.7 g of C₂H₄ to form CO₂ and H₂O.

Question:

How many moles of O₂ are required for the complete reaction of combustion of C₂H₄?

The Process:

  • Relative atomic mass: C = 12 and H = 1.
  • Relative molecular mass (Mr) of C₂H₄ = 2(12) + 4(1) = 28.

Let us convert mass to mole for C₂H₄.

\boxed{ \ n = \frac{mass}{Mr} \ } \rightarrow \boxed{ \ n = \frac{54.7}{28} = 1.954 \ moles \ }

The combustion reaction of  C₂H₄ (ethylene, also named ethene) can be expressed as follows:

\boxed{ \ C_2H_4 + 3O_2 \rightarrow 2CO_2 + 2H_2O \ } (the reaction is balanced)

According to chemical equation above, proportion between C₂H₄ and O₂ is 1 to 3. Therefore, we can count the number of moles of O₂.

\boxed{ \ \frac{n(O_2)}{n(C_2H_4)} = \frac{3}{1} \ }

\boxed{ \ n(O_2) = \frac{3}{1} \times n(C_2H_4) \ }

\boxed{ \ n(O_2) = \frac{3}{1} \times 1.954 \ moles \ }

Thus, the number of moles of O are required for the complete reaction of the combustion of C₂H₄ is 5.862 moles.

Notes:

If we want to calculate the mass of O₂, then we use the number of moles of O₂ that have been obtained.

The balanced chemical equation that illustrates this reaction is:
<span>C2H4 + 3O2 --> 2CO2 + 2H2O 
</span>
From the periodic table:
mass of carbon = 12 grams
mass of hydrogen = 1 gram
Therefore:
molar mass of C2H4 = 12(2) + 4(1) = 24 + 4 = 28 grams

number of moles = mass / molar mass
number of moles of C2H4 = 54.7 / 28 = 1.95 moles

From the balanced equation above:
3 moles of oxygen are required to react with one mole of C2H4, therefore, to know the number of moles required to react with 1.95 moles of C2H4, all you have to do is cross multiplication as follows:
number of oxygen moles = (1.95*3) / 1 = 5.85 moles

sesenic [268]
The number of mole of Ca reacted is:
4.86 g Ca/ (40.08 g/mol Ca)= 0.121 mol Ca

Because Ca reacted completely with oxygen and there is 2 mol Ca, there is 1 mol O2 reacted.

Total mass of oxygen that reacted is:
0.121 mol Ca* (1mol O2/ 2 mol Ca)* (32 g O2/ 1 mol O2)= 1.94 g O2 reacted.

Determine the volume, in liters, of 3.2 mol of CO2 gas at STP.
Allushta [10]

Answer:

71.7 L

Explanation:

Using the ideal gas equation;

PV = nRT

Where;

P = pressure (atm)

V = volume (L)

n = number of moles (mol)

R = gas law constant (0.0821 Latm/Kmol)

T = temperature (K)

According to the information provided in this question;

P = 1 atm (STP)

V = ?

n = 3.2mol

T = 273K (STP)

Using PV = nRT

V = nRT/P

V = 3.2 × 0.0821 × 273/1

V = 71.7 L
