Answer:

C2H5OH(l) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + ?H2O(l)

The coefficient should be 3

Explanation:

C2H5OH(l) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + ?H2O(l)

The chemical equation is a reaction between ethanol and oxygen . The reaction yield is carbon dioxide and water. Balancing the chemical equation requires one to make the number of atoms on the reactant side be equal to the number of atoms on the product side.

C2H5OH(l) + 3O2(g) → 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(l)

The hydrogen atom on the left hand side of the equation is 6. Therefore, the number of atom of hydrogen should be 6 on the right hand side. The number of oxygen atom on the left hand side is 7. Therefore, the number of Oxygen atom on the right hand side should  7 . Oxygen atom in carbon dioxide(right hand side) is 4 atoms, therefore, it requires 3 atoms of oxygen to make the  oxygen atoms 7.

Using 3 as the coefficient of water in the equation will make hydrogen 6 and oxygen 3 .Adding the 3 oxygen to the already 4 atoms of oxygen in carbon dioxide will make oxygen 7 atoms

g When aqueous solutions of and are mixed, a solid forms. Determine the mass of solid formed when 140.7 mL of 0.1000 M is mixed
solong [7]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is:

When aqueous solutions of NaCl and Pb(NO_3)_2 are mixed, a solid forms. Determine the mass of solid formed when 140.7 mL of 0.1000 M NaCl is mixed with an excess of an aqueous solution of

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of lead chloride produced is 1.96 g

<u>Explanation:</u>

Molarity is defined as the amount of solute expressed in the number of moles present per liter of solution. The units of molarity are mol/L. The formula used to calculate molarity:

\text{Molarity of solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{ \text{Volume of solution (mL)}} .....(1)

Given values:

Molarity of NaCl = 0.1000 M

Volume of the solution = 140.7 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.1000=\frac{\text{Moles of NaCl}\times 1000}{140.7}\\\\\text{Moles of NaCl}=\frac{0.1000\times 140.7}{1000}=0.01407mol

The chemical equation for the reaction of NaCl and lead nitrate follows:

Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)+2NaCl(aq)\rightarrow PbCl_2(s)+2NaNO_3(aq)

By the stoichiometry of the reaction:

If 2 moles of NaCl produces 1 mole of lead chloride

So, 0.01407 moles of NaCl will produce = \frac{1}{2}\times 0.01407=0.007035mol of lead chloride

The number of moles is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to its molar mass.

The equation used is:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}} ......(2)

Molar mass of lead chloride = 278.1 g/mol

Plugging values in equation 2:

\text{Mass of lead chloride}=(0.007035mol\times 278.1g/mol)=1.96g

Hence, the mass of lead chloride produced is 1.96 g
