Answer: C2H4 + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 2H2O
Explanation:
2Al + 2O2 → 2AlO + O2 Not Balanced Properly: 2Al + O2 = 2AlO
C2H4 + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 2H2O Looks Good
2CH4 + O2 → 2CO + 4H2 Not Correct: CO should be CO2
Ca + O2 → CaOH Not Balanced and No source for the H
The initial mass of sodium hydroxide is 3.3 g (answer C)
<u><em>calculation</em></u>
Step 1 : find the moles of iron (ii) hydroxide ( Fe(OH)₂
moles = mass÷ molar mass
from periodic table the molar mass of Fe(OH)₂ = 56 + [16 +1]2 = 90 g/mol
moles is therefore = 3.70 g÷ 90 g/mol = 0.041 moles
Step 2: use the mole ratio to calculate the moles of sodium hydroxide (NaOH)
from given equation NaOH : Fe(OH)₂ is 2 :1
therefore the moles of NaOH = 0.041 x 2 = 0.082 moles
Step 3: find mass of NaOH
mass = moles x molar mass
from the periodic table the molar mass of NaOH = 23 +16 +1 = 40 g/mol
mass = 0.082 moles x 40 g/mol = 3.3 g ( answer C)
