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) =

Using the reaction C12H22O11 + 12 O2 -&gt;12CO2 + 11H2O (e). How many grams of carbon dioxide can be produced from 456.7g sucros
klio [65]

Answer:

704.6 g CO2

Explanation:

MM sucrose = 342.3 g/mol

MM CO2 = 44.01 g/mol

g CO2 = 456.7 g sucrose x (1 mol sucrose/MM sucrose) x (12 moles CO2/1 mol sucrose) x (MM CO2/1mol CO2) = 704.6 g CO2

Jack is playing with a Newton's cradle. As he lifts one ball to position A and drops it, it impacts the other balls at position
svetlana [45]

Answer:

Newton's Cradle is a neat way to demonstrate the principle of the CONSERVATION OF MOMENTUM.

What happens here is when the ball on one end of the cradle is swung and it hits the other balls that are motionless, or stationary, the momentum of the swinging ball is transferred to the next ball upon impact.

Momentum is not lost in this action, what happens when it hits the next ball, the momentum is transferred to the next one, and then the next, and the the next, till it reaches the last ball on the other end. Since nothing is next to the last ball, it pushes the ball upwards, which will swing down and repeat the process going the other way.

This also demonstrates the CONSERVATION OF ENERGY. As you will see, the energy continues to move through the other balls, passing it from one ball to the other, which keeps this constantly moving.

Please help. it’s my last question.
ale4655 [162]
<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Given

Atomic symbol

Required

Atomic composition

Solution

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Mass Number (A) is the sum of protons and neutrons

Number of protons and Number of Neutrons  in nucleus

Number of electrons in the shell

From the picture:

protons = 3

neutrons = 4

electrons = 3

atomic number = protons = electrons = 3

mass number = protons + neutrons = 3+4 = 7
