Answer:

14.5g of CO₂ are produced

Explanation:

The reaction of octane with oxygen is:

C₈H₁₈ + 25/2O₂ → 8CO₂ + 9H₂O

<em>Where 1 mole of octane (Molar mass: 114.23g/mol) reacts with 25/2 moles of O₂ (Molar mass 32g/mol) to produce 8 moles of CO₂ and 9 moles of water.</em>

When 21.0 g of octane is burned with 19.0 g of oxygen gas you need to find <em>limiting reactant </em>to find how many moles of products are formed:

Octane: 21.0g ₓ (1mol / 114.23g) = 0.184 moles octane

Oxygen: 19.0g ₓ (1 mol / 32g) = 0.594 moles oxygen

For a complete reaction of 0.184 moles of octane you will need:

0.184 moles C₈H₁₈ ₓ (25/2 moles O₂ / 1 mole C₈H₁₈) = <em>2.3 moles of oxygen</em>

As you have just 0.594 moles of oxygen, <em>Oxygen is limiting reactant.</em>

Based on chemical equation, 25/2 of O₂ produce 8 moles of CO₂, that means theoretical yield of CO₂ with 0.594 moles of O₂ is:

0.594 moles O₂ ₓ (8 moles CO₂ / 25/2 moles O₂) = 0.380 moles of CO₂

But, as yield of products is 87%, moles produced of CO₂ are:

0.380 moles of CO₂ ₓ 87% = 0.331 moles CO₂ are produced.

As molar mass of CO₂ is 44g/mol, mass of CO₂ in 0.331 moles is:

0.331 moles CO₂ ₓ (44g / mol) =

<h3>14.5g of CO₂ are produced</h3>

Calculate the mass, in grams, of cucl2 (mw = 134.452 g/mol) required to prepare 250.0 ml of a 6.11 % w/v cu2 (mw = 63.546 g/mol)
Sever21 [200]

6.11% w/v of Cu2+ implies that 6.11 g of Cu2+ is present in 100 ml of the solution

therefore,  250 ml of the solution would have: 250 ml * 6.11 g/100 ml = 15.275 g

# moles of Cu2+ = 15.275 g/63.546 g mole-1 = 0.2404 moles

1 mole of CuCl2 contain 1 mole of Cu2+ ion

Hence, 0.2404 moles of Cu2+ would correspond to 0.2404 moles of CuCl2

Molar mass of CuCl2 = 134.452 g/mole

The mass of CuCl2 required = 0.2404 moles * 134.452 g/mole = 32.32 grams

Is helium a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture or compound or element?
sattari [20]
Helium is a chemical ELEMENT of the family of noble gases. Its chemical symbol is 'He' which has an atomic number of 2. It is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, non-toxic, inert, monatomic gas, the first in the noble gas group in the periodic table. Although it doesn't really react under normal conditions, it is the second most abundant element in the universe.

Elements are pure substances that cannot be broken down any further.

A student carefully pipets 10.00ml of ethanol into a beaker. If ethanol has a density of 0.779g/ml, how many grams of ethanol we
lesantik [10]

Answer: 7.79 grams of ethanol were put into the beaker.

Explanation:

To calculate the mass of ethanol, we use the equation:

\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}

Density of ethanol = 0.779 g/mL

Volume of water = 10.00 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.779g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of ethanol}}{10.00mL}\\\\\text{Mass of ethanol}=(0.779g/mL\times 10.00mL)=7.79g

Thus 7.79 grams of ethanol were put into the beaker.
