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

How much heat is required, in calories, to raise the temperature of 57.8 g of silver from
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

87.3 calories of heat is required.

Explanation:

Heat = mcΔT

m= mass, c = specific heat of silver, T = temperature

H= 57.8 g * 0.057 cal/g°C * ( 43.5 - 17 °C)

H = 57.8 * 0.057 * 26.5

H = 87.3069 cal.

The heat required to raise the temperature of 57.8 g of silver from 17 °C to 43.5 °C is 87.3 calories.
