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

If H2O is removed from this reaction, what will happen? 2H2 + O2 + 2H20 O A. The product-favored reaction will stop. B. The reac
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

B. The reactants will react to produce more H₂O

Explanation:

Given the reaction

2H₂+O₂→2H₂O

A decrease in the amount of H₂O will cause the reaction to produce more H₂O. When you change something, the reaction seeks to undo that change.

Why does a catalyst work for a long time before it needs replacing?
DedPeter [7]
Because the catalyst is not really part of the reaction. it is something that speed up a reaction by lowering the energy need for the reaction to take place. however, in the end the catalyst is brought back to its initial state. that's why it is long lasting
