Answer the following question: Ethanol, C2H5OH, is considered clean fuel because it burns in oxygen to produce carbon dioxide an

d water with few trace pollutants. If 150.0 g of H2O are produced during the combustion of ethanol, how many grams of ethanol were present at the beginning of the reaction?

Answer:

127.88 grams of ethanol were present at the beginning of the reaction

Explanation:

Firstly, let's make the combustion reaction:

C₂H₅OH  +  3O₂  →  2CO₂  +  3H₂O

By 1 mol of ethanol, you can make 3 mole of water.

Mole of water = Water mass / Molar mass

150g / 18g/m = 8.3 mole

3 mole of water came from 1 mol of ethanol

8.3 mole came from (8.3 .1)/3 = 2.78 mole of ethanol

Molar mass ethanol = 46 g/m

Mole . molar mass = mass

2.78 m .  46g/m = 127.88 g

How many joules of heat is lost when a 64 g piece of copper cools from 375 oC to 26 oC? The specific heat of copper is 0.38 J/go
Svetlanka [38]

Answer: 8500 J lost or -8500 J

Explanation:

q=cmt

t=375-26

t=349

q=0.38(64)(349)

q=8487.68 J

Answer must have 2 sig figs, which means it rounds to 8500 J.

If a reaction occurs, what will be the products of the unbalanced reaction below?Zn(s) + HCl(aq) -->
irakobra [83]

The products will be ZnCl_2(s) + H_2(g)

<h3>Chemical reactions</h3>

Zn is higher than hydrogen in the reactivity series. Thus, it will be able to displace hydrogen from the acid.

The equation of the reaction becomes: Zn(s) + HCl(aq) -- > ZnCl_2 (s) + H_2 (g)

Hydrogen gas is released as a result. In fact, it is one of the ways of preparing hydrogen gas in the laboratory.
