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

Answer:

Aluminum

Explanation:

<h3> <em>Aluminum would be the best choice to reuse copper from the copper chloride solution because it In the aluminum–copper reaction, the chloride ions help remove the aluminum oxide coating so that a reaction can take place through the oxidation of aluminum and the reduction of copper ions.The aluminum–copper chloride reaction is a simplified version of a waste reclamation and reduction strategy for handling toxic-waste materials. </em></h3>

Consider the reaction of A(g) + B(g) + C(g) => D(g) for whichthe following data were obtained:

AveGali [126]

Answer:

rate= k[A]²[B]²[C]

Explanation:

When concentration of A is increased two times ,keeping other's concentration constant , rate of reaction becomes 4 times .

So rate is proportional to [A]²

When concentration of B is increased two times , keeping other's concentration constant,rate of reaction becomes 4 times.

So rate is proportional to [B]²

When concentration of C is increased two times , keeping other's concentration constant, rate of reaction becomes 2 times.

So rate is proportional to [C]

So rate= k[A]²[B]²[C]

s344n2d4d5 [400]

To calculate the mass of Fe formed in a) we get first the limiting reactant between Fe2O3 and CO. Given the masses, the ratio of Fe2O3 is 1.33 while that of CO is 1.67. Hence the limiting reagent is Fe2O3. The mass of Fe formed is 148.98 grams. In b, the needed CO is only 112.04 grams. Hence, the excess is 27. 96 grams.

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

The time taken for the cross mark to disappear decreases steadily down the column.

Explanation:

Now if we look at the data provided, we will discover that the volume of the HCl was held constant while the volume of the thiosulphate was increased steadily and the volume of water decreased steadily.

Recall that a system is more concentrated when it contains less volume of water and more volume of reactants. Hence as the volume of water in the system is being reduced, the concentration of reactants is increased.

It has been established that an increase in the concentration of reactants lead to an increase in the rate of reaction. The disappearance of the cross shows the completion of the reaction between HCl and thiosulphate. The faster or slower the cross disappears, the faster or slower the rate of reaction.

Since increase in concentration of reactants increases the rate of reaction, it is observed that as the volume of the thiosulphate increases (reactant concentration increases) the cross disappears faster (rate of reactant increases). Hence as the volume of thiosulphate increases, it takes a shorter time for the cross to disappear. This implies that the time column in the table (refer to the question) will decrease steadily as the volume of thiosulphate increases.
