Find the number of moles of water that can be formed if you have 182 mol of hydrogen gas and 86 mol of oxygen gas.

1 answer:

3 0

Water has a chemical formula of H2O. This means that for every 2 moles of hydrogen and 1 mole of oxygen, one mole of water will be formed.

Note that hydrogen gas and oxygen gas are both biatomic molecules.

(1) (182 mol H2) x (1 mol H2O/ 1 mol H2) = 182 mol H2O
(2) (86 mol O2) x (2 mol H2O / 1 mol O2) = 172 mol H2O

We choose the smaller number of the two as the answer to this item. Thus, the answer to this question is 172 mol of H2O can be formed out of the given quantities.

When 6.040 grams of a hydrocarbon, CxHy, were burned in a combustion analysis apparatus, 18.95 grams of CO2 and 7.759 grams of H

algol [13]

Answer: The empirical formula is $CH_2$ and molecular formula is $C_4H_8$

Explanation:

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2$ = 18.95 g

Mass of $H_2O$ = 7.759 g

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 18.59 g of carbon dioxide, = $\frac{12}{44}\times 18.59=5.07g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 7.759 g of water, = $\frac{2}{18}\times 7.759=0.862g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of C = 5.07 g

Mass of H = 0.862 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C = $\frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{5.07g}{12g/mole}=0.422moles$

Moles of H= $\frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{0.862g}{1g/mole}=0.862moles$

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C = $\frac{0.422}{0.422}=1$

For H = $\frac{0.862}{0.422}=2$

The ratio of C : H = 1: 2

Hence the empirical formula is $CH_2$ .

The empirical weight of $CH_2$ = 1(12)+2(1)= 14 g.

The molecular weight = 56.1 g/mole

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula.

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular weight }}{\text{Equivalent weight}}=\frac{56.1}{14}=4$

The molecular formula will be= $4\times CH_2=C_4H_8$

The building block of a nucleic acid, consisting of a five-carbon sugar covalently bonded to a nitrogenous base and a phosphate

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Nucleotides

Explanation:

Nucleotides are the organic molecules which serve as monomer units for the formation of nucleic acid polymers which are the deoxyribonucleic acid and the ribonucleic acid (RNA) and both are the essential biomolecules within the life on the Earth.

Nucleotides are building blocks of the nucleic acids. They are the molecules which are composed of three sub units which are:

Nitrogenous base which is also called as nucleobase
Five-carbon sugar which can be ribose or deoxyribose
At least one phosphate group which is attached to the sugar.

Which example is the site of reduction when the dry cell is operating

Simora [160]

Answer:

A battery contains electrochemical cells that can store chemical energy to be converted to electrical energy. A dry-cell battery stores energy in an immobilized electrolyte paste, which minimizes the need for water. Common examples of dry-cell batteries include zinc-carbon batteries and alkaline batteries.

If you are supposed to put in 2/4 a cup sugar for a recipe, can you just put in a half cup of sugar?

natta225 [31]

I would assume so.

Given $\frac{2}{4}$ , we can simplify the fraction to $\frac{1}{2}$

Both would obtain the same proportions, so I don't see why putting a half cup of sugar would make things any different.

Hope this is the answer you are looking for.
