Answer:

a. 18.75 mol of O₂

b. 35.008 g of O₂

c. 137868 g of O₂

Explanation:

a.

Based on the balanced equation the molar ratio of C₈H₁₈ : O₂(g) = 2:25 Therefore, 1.50 mol of C₈H₁₈ = 25/2 x 1.5 = 18.75 mol of O₂

b.

Given, mass of C₈H₁₈ = 10.0 g

Molar mass of C₈H₁₈ = (12 x 8) + (18 x 1) = 114 g/mol

Moles of C₈H₁₈ = 10.0 g/ 114 g/mol = 0.08772

Based on the balanced equation the molar ratio of C₈H₁₈ : O₂(g) = 2:25

Therefore, 0.08772 mol of C₈H₁₈ = 25/2 x 0.08772 = 1.0965 mol of O₂

Molar mass of O₂ = 32 g/mol

Mass of O₂ = 1.0965 mol x 32 g/mol = 35.008 g

c.

Given, density of C₈H₁₈ = 0.692 g/ml

Volume of C₈H₁₈ = 15.0 gal

Volume of C₈H₁₈ = 15.0 gal x 3785.41 ml/ 1 gal = 56781.15 ml

Mass of C₈H₁₈ = density of C₈H₁₈ x Volume of C₈H₁₈

= 0.692 g/ml x 56781.15 ml = 39292.5 g

Molar mass of C₈H₁₈ = 114 g/mol

Moles of C₈H₁₈ = 39292.5 g / 114 g/mol = 344.67 mol

Based on the balanced equation the molar ratio of C₈H₁₈ : O₂(g) = 2:25

Therefore, 344.67 mol of C₈H₁₈ = 25/2 x 344.67 = 4308.375 mol of O₂

Molar mass of O₂ = 32 g/mol

Mass of O₂ = 4308.375 mol x 32 g/mol = 137868 g

Why is Hawaii made of volcanoes? <br>

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Hawaiian Islands were literally created from lots of volcanoes—they're a trail of volcanic eruptions. In the case of the Hawaiian Islands, the Pacific Plate is continually moving to the northwest over the Hawaiian hot spot. This movement caused the Hawaiian chain of islands to form.

Burning 12.00 g of an oxoacid produces 17.95 g of carbon dioxide and 4.87 g of water. Consider that 0.25

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer: The molecular formula will be $C_6H_6O_6$

Explanation:

Mass of $CO_2$ = 17.95 g

Mass of $H_2O$ = 4.87 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 17.95 g of carbon dioxide, = $\frac{12}{44}\times 17.95=4.89g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

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

So, in 4.87 g of water, = $\frac{2}{18}\times 4.87=0.541g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (12.00) - (4.89+0.541) = 6.57 g

Mass of C = 4.89 g

Mass of H = 0.541 g

Mass of O = 6.57 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C = $\frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{4.89g}{12g/mole}=0.407moles$

Moles of H= $\frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{0.541g}{1g/mole}=0.541moles$

Moles of O= $\frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{6.57g}{16g/mole}=0.410moles$

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

For C = $\frac{0.407}{0.407}=1$

For H = $\frac{0.541}{0.407}=1$

For O = $\frac{0.410}{0.407}=1$

The ratio of C : H : O = 1: 1 : 1

Hence the empirical formula is $CHO$ .

Hence the empirical formula is $CHO$

The empirical weight of $CHO$ = 1(12)+1(1)+1(16)= 29 g.

If 0.25 moles has mass of 44.0 g

Thus 1 mole has mass of = $\frac{44.0}{0.25}\times 1=176g$

Thus molecular mass is 176 g

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula.

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular weight }}{\text{Equivalent weight}}=\frac{176g}{29g}=6$

The molecular formula will be= $6\times CHO=C_6H_6O_6$

How does evolution relate to tectonic plate movement?

Reil [10]

Answer:

Below!

Explanation:

A planet with oceans, continents, and plate tectonics maximizes opportunities for speciation and natural selection, whereas a similar planet without plate tectonics provides fewer such opportunities. Plate tectonics exerts environmental pressures that drive evolution without being capable of extinguishing all life.

Match the separation techniques with the correct descriptions.

nordsb [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

1 = A

Sublimation is the process where by a sample is heated to pass through solid phase to gaseous phase without the intermittent liquid phase. Example of substance that sublime is camphor.

2 = D

Decantantion

5 = F

Filtration is the process a liquid from solid using a porous material. This technique requires a set up and a good porous material eg filter paper.

6 = B

This technique is to separate a mixture of solids by converting them from solid phase to gaseous phase since they sublime.

3 = deposition.

The answer isn't in the option but deposition is the process of substance in gaseous phase to change into solid state without passing through liquid phase. Deposition is the opposite of sublimation.

4 = E
