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 conditions creates the largest waves?
SashulF [63]

Answer:

strong winds that blow in short spurts over a small distance

Explanation:

Generally, the most common factor that causes the largest waves in the ocean is winds. this is also called wind-driven waves of the ocean when the surface wind flows on the surface of the ocean, this disturbance creates the friction between surface wind and surface of the ocean which creates waves in the ocean

Methane gas and oxygen gas react to form water vapor and carbon dioxide gas. What volume of water would be produced by this reac
yanalaym [24]

volume of H₂O = 7.2 L

Explanation:

The combustion reaction of methane (CH₄):

CH₄ + 2 O₂ → CO₂ + 2 H₂O

Now we calculate the number of moles of methane using the following formula:

number of moles = volume / 22.4 (L/mole)

number of moles of CH₄ = 3.6 / 22.4

number of moles of CH₄ = 0.16 moles

Taking in account the chemical reaction, we devise the following reasoning:

if             1 mole of CH₄ produce 2 moles of H₂O

then  0.16 moles of CH₄ produce X moles of H₂O

X = (0.16 × 2) / 1 = 0.32 moles of H₂O

And now we can calculate the volume of water (H₂O) produced by the reaction:

number of moles = volume / 22.4 (L/mole)

volume = number of moles × 22.4 (L/mole)

volume of H₂O = 0.32 × 22.4

volume of H₂O = 7.2 L
