Answer:

The balanced chemical reaction is given as:

2C_6H_{14}+19O_2\rightarrow 12CO_2+14H_2O

Explanation:

Combustion is a type of chemical reaction in which hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen gas to form carbon dioxide gas and water .

When 2,3-dimethylbutane undergoes combustion reaction it gives carbon dioxde and water.

The balanced chemical reaction is given as:

2C_6H_{14}+19O_2\rightarrow 12CO_2+14H_2O

According to stoichiometry, 2 moles of 2,3-dimethylbutane reacts with 19 moles of oxygen gas to give 12 moles of carbon dioxide and 14 moles of water.

2C_6H_14 + 19O_2 → 12CO_2 + 14H_2O

<em>Step 1</em>. Write the <em>condensed structural  formula</em> for 2,3-dimethylbutane.

(CH_3)_2CHCH(CH_3)_2

<em>Step 2</em>. Write the <em>molecular formula</em>.

C_6H_14

<em>Step 3</em>. Write the <em>unbalanced chemical equation</em>.

C_6H_14 + O_2 → CO_2 + H_2O

<em>Step 4</em>. Pick the <em>most complicated-looking formula</em> (C_6H_14) and balance its atoms (C and H).

<em>1</em>C_6H_14 + O_2 → <em>6</em>CO_2 + <em>7</em>H_2O

<em>Step 5</em>. Balance the <em>remaining atoms</em> (O).

1C_6H_14 + (<em>19/2</em>)O_2 → 6CO_2 + 7H_2O

Oops! <em>Fractional coefficients</em>!

<em>Step 6</em>. <em>Multiply all coefficients by a number</em> (2) to give integer coeficients..

2C_6H_14 + 19O_2 → 12CO_2 + 14H_2O

How many moles of oxygen must be placed
umka21 [38]

Answer: 0.245 moles of oxygen must be placed in the container to exert the given pressure at the given temperature. The Ideal Gas Law equation gives the relationship among the pressure, volume, temperature, and moles of gas.

Further Explanation:

The Ideal Gas Equation is:  

PV = nRT  

where:  

P - pressure (in atm)  

V - volume (in L)  

n - amount of gas (in moles)  

R - universal gas constant 0.08206 \frac{L-atm}{mol-K}  

T - temperature (in K)  

In the problem, we are given the values:  

P = 2.00 atm (3 significant figures)

V = 3.00 L  (3 significant figures)

n = ?

T = 25.0 degrees Celsius (3 significant figures)  

We need to convert the temperature to Kelvin before we can use the Ideal Gas Equation. The formula to convert from degree Celsius to Kelvin is:  

Temperature \ in \ Kelvin = Temperature\ in \ Celsius \ + \ 273.15  

Therefore, for this problem,  

Temperature\ in \ K = 25.0 +273.15\\Temperature\ in \ K = 298.15  

Solving for n using the Ideal Gas Equation:  

n \ = \frac{PV}{RT}\\n \ = \frac{(2.00 \ atm) \ (3.00 \ L)}{(0.08206 \ \frac{L-atm}{mol-K})( 298.15 \ K)}  \\n \ = 0.245 \ mol

The least number of significant figures is 3, therefore, the final answer must have only 3 significant figures.

A  substance can dissolve in another when they have thee same type of intermolecular interaction.

<h3>What is solubility?</h3>

The term solubility of a solute refers to the extent to which a solute dissolve in a solvent. We must know that a substance can dissolve in another when they have thee same type of intermolecular interaction.

Thus;

a) Octane (C8H18) mixes well with CCl4 because they are both non polar substances.

b) Methanol (CH3OH) is mixed with water in all ratios because the both are polar substances.

c) NaBr dissolves very poorly in acetone (CH3 ― CO ― CH3) because acetone is only slightly polar.

Find the number of moles of water that can be formed if you have 138 mol of hydrogen gas and 64 mol of oxygen gas.
charle [14.2K]
2H₂₍g₎ + O₂ ₍g₎→ 2H₂O

138 mol H₂ × (2 mol H₂O ÷ 2 mol H₂)= 138 mol H₂O
64 mol O₂ × (2 mol H₂O ÷ 1 mol O₂)= 128 mol H₂O

128 mol H₂O
