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.

kow [346]

Answer:

=C_3H_4O_3

Explanation:

When percentage composition is given, and asked for the empirical formula, it is simplest to  assume 100 g of material. Thus,

Mass C = 40.92 g.  Moles C = 40.92 g x 1 mole/12 g = 3.41 moles C

Mass H = 4.58 g.  Moles H = 4.58 g x 1 mole/1.0 g = 4.58 moles H

Mass O = 54.50 g.  Moles O = 54.50 g x 1 mole/16 g = 3.41 moles O

Now, we want to get the moles into whole numbers, so we begin by dividing all by the smallest, i.e. divide all values by 3.41.

Moles C = 3.41/3.41 = 1

Moles H = 4.58/3.41 = 1.34

Moles O = 3.41/3.41 = 1

Now, in order to get 1.34 to be a whole number we multiply it (and all others) by 3

Moles C = 1x3 = 3

Moles H = 1.34x3 = 4

Moles O = 1x3 = 3

Empirical Formula =C_3H_4O_3

Please calculate the mixed volume (Vmix) when 0.300 mol of ethanol and 0.200 mol of water are mixed. Hint: The partial molar vol
Grace [21]

Answer:

If we assume the molar volumes of water and ethanol 17.0 and 57.0 cm³/mol, respectively, Vmix = 20.5 cm³.

Explanation:

The molar volume of a substance is the ratio between the volume and the number of moles of the substance. It represents the volume that 1 mol of it occupies. Because we don't have access to page 24, let's assume the molar volumes of water and ethanol 17.0 and 57.0 cm³/mol, respectively.

The volume of mixture (Vmix) is the sum of the volume of each substance, which is the number of moles multiplied by molar volume, so:

Vmix = 0.300*57 + 0.200*17

Vmix = 17.1 + 3.4

Vmix = 20.5 cm³
