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

When a 14.2-g sample of mercury (II) oxide is decomposed into its elements by heating, 13.2 g Hg is obtained. What is the percen
nevsk [136]
Mercury (ii) oxide is made up of mercury and oxygen. The total mass of mercury (ii) oxide is 14.2 g, after decomposition 13.2 g of mercury were formed, therefore the mass of oxygen 1 g (14.2 g -13.2 g).
Percentage of oxygen = (1/14.2)×100 = 7.04%
Percentage of mercury = (13.2/14.2) × 100 = 92.96%
Therefore, percentage composition of the compound, oxygen is 7.04% and mercury is 92.96%.

Which of these substances, when dissolved in water, is a strong electrolyte? which of these substances, when dissolved in water,
Norma-Jean [14]
<span>Option C. It is sodium nitrate because it is a strong electrolyte that comes from a strong acid (HNO3) and a strong base (KOH). It becomes a strong electrolyte when it dissolves in water, its formula is NaNO3, which is a compound that forms nitrate together with potassium nitrate and is obtained by chemical synthesis.</span>

Write the chemical symbol for three different atoms or atomic cations with 22 electrons
damaskus [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

To write the chemical symbol for an atom or cation with 22 electrons, we must understand some few things about an atom.

An atom is made up of positively charged paticles called protons which are located in the nucleus. The neutrons do not have any charges and are they reside together in the nucleus with the protons.

Electrons are negatively charged particles which orbits the nucleus.

Titanium in its neutral state is the 22nd element on the periodic table and it has 22 electrons.

Vanadium is the the 23rd element on the periodic table. If it loses an electron, it becomes positively charged and it is a cation.

Chromium is the 24th element on the periodic table. A loss of two electrons makes the net electrons remaining on it 22.

The symbols are:

       ₂₂Ti

        ₂₃V¹⁺

        ₂₄Cr²⁺
