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

What is the overall effect of adding a solute to a Solution
user100 [1]

Answer:

By adding the solute in to solution boiling point is increased while freezing point is decreased.

Explanation:

When solute in added into the solvent the boiling point of solvent increases for example,

Water is boiled at 100 °C, when sodium chloride is added its boiling point increased. Ions of salt interact with solvent and prevent the water molecules to escape from the surface and form gas molecules. In order to make it boiled solution must be heated above 100  °C.

But there is different case with freezing point. Freezing point is the state in which substance converted into the solid. At given temperature when solute is added into the solvent it prevent the formation of solid. It required time to decrease the temperature first and as the temperature is decreases solid is formed.

3. 200 ml of 0.2 M HCl is neutralized with 0.1 M
algol [13]

Answer:

  • <u><em>a. 0.1 M</em></u>

Explanation:

By definition, <em>half neutralization</em> is the point at which half of the acid has been neutralized.

The neutralization reaction that you are studying is the acid-base reaction:

  • HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq) → NaCl(aq) + H₂O (aq)

Then, since the starting molarity of the acid (HCl) is 0.2 M, you just need to find half of that concentration:

  • Half molarity = M / 2 = 0.2 M / 2 = 0.1 M

So, the answer is the first choice: a. 0.1 M.

Calcium carbide, CaC2, is manufactured by reducing lime with carbon at high temperature. (The carbide is used in turn to make ac
sweet-ann [11.9K]

The energy of the carbide released is 7262.5MJ.

<h3>What is the energy?</h3>

We know that the reaction between calcium  oxide and carbon occurs in accordance with the reaction; CaO(s)+3C(s)----- > CaC_{2} (s)+CO(g). The reaction is seen to produce 464.8kJ of energy per mole of carbide produced.

Number of moles of CaC_{2} produced = 1000 * 10^3 g/64 g/mol

= 15625 moles of calcium carbide

If 1 mole of CaC_{2} transfers  464.8 * 10^3 J

15625 moles of calcium carbide transfers 15625 moles  * 464.8 * 10^3 J/ 1 mol

= 7262.5MJ

Which law states that the entropy of the universe is always increasing?
vova2212 [387]

Second law of thermodynamics states entropy of the universe is always increasing. entropy always increases in a spontaneous process .

option B) second law of thermodynamics

for example if we keep a hot cup of coffee the heat is lost to surrounding and entropy( randomness increases) since it is a natural process entropy of universe increases.
