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

Which of the following chemical reactions is the only reaction shown that would be predicted to occur based on the activity seri
Novosadov [1.4K]

B. Mn + NiBr₂  →  Ni + MnBr₂

Explanation:

The reaction that can be predicted of all is Mn + NiBr₂  →  Ni + MnBr₂.

The activity series is used to predict the products of single displacement reactions.

The series ranks metals in order of their reactivity. Those higher up in the series are highly reactive metals. Those at the bottom are slightly to non-reactive metals.

For a single displacement reaction to occur, a metal higher up in the activity series displaces one that is lower in the series.

  Reaction A will not occur, Ba is higher in the series

  Reaction C will not occur, Pt and Au are unreactive

  Reaction D will not occur as Zn is lower in the series

Mn is higher in the reactivity series and it will displace Ni from the solution.

A neutral atom in the ground state of Sulfur has its outer most valence electron in which orbital? f d
Natasha_Volkova [10]

<u>Answer:</u> The outermost valence electron enters the p orbital.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Valence electrons are defined as the electrons which are present in outer most orbital of an atom.

Sulfur is the 16th element of the periodic table having 16 electrons.

Electronic configuration of sulfur atom is 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^4

The number of valence electrons are 2 + 4 = 6

These 6 electrons enter s-orbital and p-orbital but the outermost valence electron will enter the p-orbital.

Hence, the outermost valence electron enters p orbital.

Annette [7]
This process is called filtration. This process is a solid-fluid separation by the use of a medium wherein only the fluid (gases or liquids) can go through it. The medium is called the filter while the fluid that passed through the filter is called the filtrate. The solid particles are the large particles which cannot pass through the filter.

What is the concentration of hydronium ions and hydroxide ions
nikdorinn [45]
To find the concentration of hydronium ions, take 10 raised to the negative pH:
10^-9.56= 2.75 x10^-10M

To find the concentration of hydroxide ions, take 10 raised to the negative pOH: 10^-4.44 = 3.63 x10^-5M
