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>

how The areas under the peaks on a gas chromatogram for a mixture of ethyl acetate and toluene were 85 "units" at 2.5 minutes el
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

74 % major, 26 % minor product  

Explanation:

The total area under the peaks is  

85 units + 30 units = 115 units

\text{\% Major component} = \dfrac{\text{85 units}}{\text{115 units}} \times 100 \, \% = \mathbf{74 \, \%}\\\\\text{\% Minor component} = \dfrac{\text{30 units}}{\text{115 units}} \times 100 \, \% = \mathbf{26 \, \%}

Solutions that have more OH– than H+ ions are
NARA [144]
The correct answer is option C. Solutions that have more OH– than H+ ions are bases. These are substances that are slippery to touch and has an astringent taste. It reacts with acids in a neutralization reaction forming salts. It accepts protons. Examples are sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide.

If a solution of 20mL of 0.050M K+ is added to 80mL of 0.50M ClO4- will a precipitate form and what is the value of Qsp? For KCl
Len [333]

Answer:

Q< K hence a precipitate will not form.

Explanation:

First convert the concentration to molL-1

For number of moles of K^+ = 0.05×20/1000 = 1×10^-3 moles

If we have 1×10^-3 moles in 20cm3

Then in 1000cm^3 we have 1×10^-3 moles×1000/20= 0.05 M

For ClO4^-= 0.50×80/1000= 0.04 moles

If we have 0.04 moles in 80cm3

Then in 1000cm^3 we have 0.04 moles×1000/80= 0.5 M

Q= [K^+] [ClO4^-]

Q= [0.05] [0.5]

Q= 0.025= 2.5×10-2

Q< K hence a precipitate will not form.
