Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), the intoxicant in alcoholic beverages, is also used to make other organic compounds. In concentrated sulfuri

c acid, ethanol forms diethyl ether and water: 2CH3CH2OH(l) → CH3CH2OCH2CH3(l) + H2O(g) In a side reaction, some ethanol forms ethylene and water: CH3CH2OH(l) → CH2═CH2(g) + H2O(g) a) If 50.0 g of ethanol yields 35.9 g of diethyl ether, what is the percent yield of diethyl ether? b) During the process, 45.0% of the ethanol that did not produce diethyl ether reacts by the side reaction. What mass of ethylene is produced?

Answer:

a) 88.48%

b) 0.05625 mol

Explanation:

2CH₃CH₂OH(l) → CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃(l) + H₂O(g)         Reaction 1

CH₃CH₂OH(l) → CH₂═CH₂(g) + H₂O(g)                        Reaction 2

a) CH₃CH₂OH = 46.0684 g/mol

   CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃ = 74.12 g/mol

1 mol CH₃CH₂OH ______  46.0684 g

x                            ______   50.0 g

x = 1.085 mol  CH₃CH₂OH

1 mol  CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃ ______  74.12 g g

y                           ______   35.9 g

y = 0.48 mol   CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃

100% yield _____ 0.5425 mol CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃

w                _____  0.48 mol CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃

w = 88.48%

b) Only 0.96 mol of ethanol reacted to form diethyl ether. This means that 0.125 mol of ethanol did not react. 45% of 0.125 mol reacted to form ethylene. Therefore, 0.05625 mol of ethanol reacted by the side reaction (reaction 2). Since 1 mol of ethanol leads to 1 mol of ethylene, 0.05625 mol of ethanol produces 0.05625 mol of ethylene.

Which of the following equations is balanced?
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

A) 4P + 5O₂  → 2P₂O₅

Explanation:

A) 4P + 5O₂  → 2P₂O₅

This equation is balanced. There are four phosphorus and ten oxygen atoms are on both side of equation.

B) 5P + 4O₂    →    2P₄O₅

This equation is not balanced. There are five phosphorus and eight oxygen atoms on left, eight phosphorus ten oxygen on right side of equation.

C) 2P + O₂    →      P₂O₅

This equation is not balanced. There are two phosphorus, two oxygen atoms on left and two phosphorus five oxygen on right side of equation.

D) 4P + 2O₂    →   2P₄O₅

This equation is not balanced. There are four phosphorus, four oxygen atoms on left and eight phosphorus ten oxygen on right side of equation.

Use a Punnett square to predict the cross of a homozygous tall parent with a homozygous short parent, if tall is dominant over s
ycow [4]

Answer:

All offspring are tall when a homozygous tall parent with homozygous short parent.

Explanation:

When we crossed  homozygous tall parent with homozygous short parent, we conclude that all offspring are tall, because homozygous short parent are supressed under the homozygous tall parent, due to law of dominance.

Law of dominance states that, recessive alleles are suppressed by dominant alleles but they can appear in F2 generation.

Using a punett square, we can predict the cross between homozygous tall and homozygous short parent.      

  The phenotypes are: All are tall plants (4:0).

Changes in the composition of the atmosphere have caused gradual changes in earth's _______ throughout history, causing changes
bearhunter [10]

climate

Changes in the composition of the atmosphere have caused gradual changes in earth's <u>climate</u> throughout history, causing changes in plant and animal life that contributed to mass extinctions.

The following are some of the reasons:

  • UV light
  • climate
  • pollutants
  • hydrofluorocarbons

heat

  • The surface of the Earth warms up as sunlight strikes it.
  • Surface-emitted infrared light is absorbed in the atmosphere and transformed into heat.
  • The temperature close to the surface rises as a result of this heat being trapped in the atmosphere.
<h3>UV light:</h3>
  • indirect impacts of climate change on UV radiation from the surface.
  • By changing the concentrations of ozone, UV-absorbing tropospheric gases, aerosols, and clouds in the atmosphere, climate change may have indirectly affected UV radiation levels in the past.
  • These influences are probably going to persist in the future.
<h3>climate:</h3>
  • People are at risk from food and water shortages, greater flooding, high heat, an increase in disease, and economic loss due to climate change.
  • Conflict and human migration are potential outcomes.
  • Climate change is the top hazard to world health in the twenty-first century, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
<h3>pollutants:</h3>
  • these are also resulting in the increase of temperature of the Earth and is also damaging ozone layer.
