The balanced equation:
         2 H₂   +   O₂   →   2 H₂O

moles of Hydrogen  = mass of hydrogen ÷ molar mass of hydrogen
                                  =  45.7 g ÷ 2 g/mol
                                  = 22.85 mol

Now, the mole ratio of O₂  :  H₂  is  1  :  2 
    which means that there are two times as much moles of H₂ as O₂ taking
    part in the reaction

Thus since moles of H₂  =  22.85 mol
then moles of O₂  =  22.85 ÷ 2 = 11.425 mol

Mass of O₂  = moles of O₂  × molar mass of O₂

                    = 11.425 mol  ×  32 g/mol

                    =  365.6 g

∴  <span>grams of oxygen are needed to react with 45.7 grams of hydrogen is 365.6g</span>

disa [49]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

Acetylene C_2H_2 gas is often used in welding torches because of the very high heat produced when it reacts with oxygen O_2 gas, producing carbon dioxide gas and water vapor. Calculate the moles of oxygen needed to produce 1.5 mol of carbon dioxide. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if necessary, and round it to the correct number of significant digits.

Answer: 1.9 moles of oxygen are needed to produce 1.5 moles of carbon dioxide.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

The balanced reaction for combustion of acetylene is:

2C_2H_2+5O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+2H_2O

According to stoichiometry;

4 moles of carbon dioxide are produced by = 5 moles of oxygen

Thus 1.5 moles of carbon dioxide are produced by =\frac{5}{4}\times 1.5=1.9 moles of oxygen

Thus 1.9 moles of oxygen are needed to produce 1.5 moles of carbon dioxide.

a metal sample has a mass of 7.56 g. the sample is placed into a graduated cylinder previously filled with 20.00 mL of water. If
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

4.5g/ml

Explanation:

metal sample has a mass = 7.56 g

cylinder previously filled with water = 20.00 mL

final volume in the cylinder =  21.68 mL

density = \frac{mass}{V_f - V_i}

density = \frac{7.56}{(21.68 - 20.00)}

density = 4.5g/ml

What is Keg for the reaction N2 + 3H2 = 2NH2 if the equilibrium
AlladinOne [14]

<u>Answer:</u> The equilibrium constant for the given reaction is 1.33

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Equilibrium concentration of ammonia = 2 M

Equilibrium concentration of nitrogen gas = 3 M

Equilibrium concentration of hydrogen gas = 1 M

For the given chemical equation:

N_2+3H_2\rightleftharpoons 2NH_3

The expression of K_{eq} for above equation follows:

K_{eq}=\frac{[NH_3]^2}{[N_2][H_3]^3}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

K_{eq}=\frac{(2)^2}{3\times (1)^3}\\\\K_{eq}=1.33

Hence, the equilibrium constant for the given reaction is 1.33
