Calculate the mass of carbon dioxide produced from complete combustion of 16.6 g of octane, C8H18, in the following reaction. C8
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

51.2g of CO2

Explanation:

The first step is to balance the reaction equation as shown in the solution attached. Without balancing the reaction equation, one can never obtain the correct answer! Then obtain the masses of octane reacted and carbon dioxide produced from the stoichiometric equation. After that, we now compare it with what is given as shown in the image attached.

3. In an experiment it was found that 40.0cm of 0.2M sodium hydroxide solution just neutralized 0.2g
hjlf

The relative molecular mass of acid A : 50 g/mol

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

40.0 cm³(40 ml) of 0.2M sodium hydroxide

0.2g  of a dibasic acid

Required

the relative molecular mass of acid A

Solution

Titration formula

M₁V₁n₁=M₂V₂n₂

n=acid/base valence(number of H⁺/OH⁻)

NaOH ⇒ n = 1

Dibasic acid =  diprotic acid (such as H₂SO₄)⇒ n = 2

mol = M x V

Input the value in the formula :(1 = NaOH, 2=dibasic acid)

0.2 x 40 x 1 = M₂ x V₂ x 2

M₂ x V₂ = 4 mlmol = 4.10⁻³ mol ⇒ mol of Acid A

The relative molecular mass of acid A (M) :

\tt M_A=\dfrac{mass }{mol}=\dfrac{0.2~g}{4.10^{-3}}=50~g/mol

Consider the following unbalanced reaction: P4(s) + F2(g) → PF3(g) What mass of fluorine gas is needed to produce 120. g of PF3
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

44.28 grams.

Explanation:

Let us write the balanced reaction:

P_{4}+6F_{2}-->4PF_{3}

As per balanced equation, six moles of fluorine gas will give four moles of PF₃.

The mass of PF₃ required = 120 g

The molar mass of PF₃ = 88g/mol

Moles of PF₃ required =\frac{mass}{molarmass}=\frac{120}{88}=1.364mol

The moles of fluorine gas required = \frac{4X1.364}{6}=0.91

the mass of fluorine gas required = moles X molar mass = 0.91x38 = 34.58g

Now this much mass will be required if the reaction is of 100% yield

But as given that the yield of reaction is only 78.1%

The mass of fluorine required = \frac{massX100}{78.1} =\frac{34.58X100}{78.1} =44.28g
