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 many hydrogen atoms are in 105 g of water?
mel-nik [20]
Moles of water atoms = mass/molecular weight = 105/18 = 5.83 mol. Number of moles of hydrogen in water = 2 x moles of water = 11.66. Number of H atoms in water = moles of hydrogen x 6.02 x 10^23 = 7.019 x 10^24 ~ 7.02 x 10^24 atoms. Hope this helps.

Lighting a match changes ch and energy into heat.​
otez555 [7]

Answer:

The answer remains the same. The total amount of energy stays the same because the 1st Law of Thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only change forms. So the chemical energy is just being converted into heat and light.

Explanation:

What is the mass of a piece of iron if its density is 1.98 g/mL and its volume is 2.45 mL?
viktelen [127]

Answer:

4.858 g

Explanation:

Start with the formula

density = \frac{mass}{volume}

density = 1.98 g/mL

volume = 2.45 mL

mass = ??

rearrange the formula to solve for mass

(density) x (volume) = mass

Add in the substitutes and solve for mass

1.98 g/mL x 2.45 mL = 4.858 g
