When cream mixes with coffee, is this a chemical or physical change?
svlad2 [7]

It is a physical change when cream mixes with coffee, it changes the color of the coffee. When you add more or less cream there is a color change depending on the consistency of cream. The properties are not changes and a no new compound is formed as in chemical change with a reaction of two compounds, a new compound is formed with different properties. So it is a physical change.

Vitamin C contains the elements C, H, and O. It is known to contain 40.9% C and 4.58% H by mass. The molar mass of vitamin C has
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

C₆H₈O₆

Explanation:

First off, the<u> percent of oxygen by mass</u> of vitamin C is:

  • 100 - (40.9+4.58) = 54.52 %

<em>Assume we have one mol of vitamin C</em>. Then we would have <em>180 grams</em>, of which:

  • 180 * 40.9/100 = 73.62 grams are of Carbon
  • 180 * 4.58/100 = 8.224 grams are of Hydrogen
  • 180 * 54.52/100 = 98.136 grams are of Oxygen

Now we <u>convert each of those masses to moles</u>, using the <em>elements' respective atomic mass</em>:

  • C ⇒ 73.62 g ÷ 12 g/mol = 6.135 mol C ≅ 6 mol C
  • H ⇒ 8.224 g ÷ 1 g/mol = 8.224 mol H ≅ 8 mol H
  • O ⇒ 98.136 g ÷ 16 g/mol = 6.134 mol O ≅ 6 mol O

So the molecular formula for vitamin C is C₆H₈O₆

When 2.5 mol of O2 are consumed in their reaction, ________ mol of CO2 are produced
Vika [28.1K]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:

The combustion of propane (C3H8) in the presence of excess oxygen yields CO_2 and H_2O

C_3H_8(g)+5O_2 (g)\rightarrow 3CO_2(g)+4H_2O (g)

When only 2.5 mol of O_2 are consumed in order to complete the reaction, ________ mol of CO_2 are produced.

Answer: Thus when 2.5 mol of O_2 are consumed in their reaction,  1.5 mol of CO_2 are produced

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation is:

C_3H_8(g)+5O_2 (g)\rightarrow 3CO_2(g)+4H_2O (g)

According to stoichiometry :

5 moles of O_2 produce = 3 moles of  CO_2

Thus 2.5 moles of O_2 will produce = \frac{3}{5}\times 2.5=1.5 moles of  CO_2

Thus when 2.5 mol of O_2 are consumed in their reaction,  1.5 mol of CO_2 are produced
