A major component of gasoline is octane (C8H18). When octane is burned in air, it chemically reacts with oxygen gas (O2) to prod

uce carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). What mass of water is produced by the reaction of 7.72g of oxygen gas? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer:

The answer is 6.25g.

Explanation:

First create your balanced equation. This will give you the stoich ratios needed to answer the question:

2C8H18 + 25O2 → 16CO2 + 18H2O

Remember, we need to work in terms of NUMBERS, but the question gives us MASS. Therefore the next step is to convert the mass of O2 into moles of O2 by dividing by the molar mass:

7.72 g / 16 g/mol = 0.482 mol

Now we can use the stoich ratio from the equation to determine how many moles of H2O are produced:

x mol H2O / 0.482 mol O2 = 18 H2O / 25 O2

x = 0.347 mol H2O

The question wants the mass of water, so convert moles back into mass by multiplying by the molar mass of water:

0.347 mol x 18 g/mol = 6.25g

Answer:

3.13 grams of water is produced by the reaction of 7.72 grams of oxygen gas.

Explanation:

2C_8H_{18} +25O_2\rightarrow 16CO_2+18H_2O

Moles of oxygen gas = \frac{7.72 g}{32 g/mol}=0.24125 mol

According to reaction , 25 moles of oxygen gas gives 18 moles of water.

Then 0.24125 moles of oxygen will give:

\frac{18}{25}\times 0.24125 mol=0.1737 mol

Mass of 0.1737 moles of water :

18 g/mol\times 0.1737 mol=3.1266 g\approx 3.13 g

3.13 grams of water is produced by the reaction of 7.72 grams of oxygen gas.

Aluminum hydroxide + nitric acid ➡ aluminum nitrate + water
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Chemical equation:

HNO₃ + Al(OH)₃   →  Al(NO₃)₃ + H₂O

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

HNO₃ + Al(OH)₃   →  Al(NO₃)₃ + H₂O

Balanced chemical equation:

3HNO₃ + Al(OH)₃   →  Al(NO₃)₃ + 3H₂O

Ionic equation:

3H⁺ + 3NO⁻₃(aq) + Al(OH)₃(s)   →  Al³⁺(aq) + 3NO₃⁻¹(aq) + 3H₂O(l)

Net ionic equation:

Al(OH)₃(s)  +  3H⁺(aq)     →  Al³⁺(aq) +  3H₂O(l)

The NO⁻₃ are spectator ions that's why these are not written in net ionic equation. The water can not be splitted into ions because it is present in liquid form.

Spectator ions:

These ions are same in both side of chemical reaction. These ions are cancel out. Their presence can not effect the equilibrium of reaction that's why these ions are omitted in net ionic equation.

What can we learn by the number of electrons on the outer energy level of an atom? (2 points) Physical properties such as color
Alja [10]

Answer:Chemical properties such as its ability to form chemical bonds

Explanation:

The group to which an element belong is known by the number of electrons on its outermost shell. Since chemical reactions often involve valence electrons of an atom, the number of outermost shell electrons give us an idea of the chemical properties, reactivity and readiness of the element to form chemical bonds. The number of electrons in the outermost shell is the most succinct description of the chemical disposition of any atom.

Which of the following is an sp2 hybridized carbon?
Temka [501]

Answer:

CH3+

Explanation:

Sp2 hybridization involves the mixing of on s and two p orbitals. This is observed in CH3+. The ion is trigonal planar with a H-C-H bond angle of 120°.

The anion, CH3^- is sp3 hybridized, hence only CH3+ is sp2 hybridized among the options.
