To find moles in this sample, you would divide grams by molar mass of ethyl alcohol
(18.0g)/(46.07g/mol) = 0.391mol C2H6O

What coefficients are needed to balance the equation for the complete combustion of methane? enter the coefficients in the order
Art [367]

The coefficients in the order CH₄, O₂, CO₂, and H₂O, are 1,2,1,2

The equation becomes:

CH₄ (g) + 2O₂ (g) -> CO₂ (g) + 2H₂0 (g)

<h3><em>Further explanation</em></h3>

Complete combustion of hydrocarbon with oxygen will be obtained by CO₂ and H₂O compounds.

If O is insufficient there will be incomplete combustion produced by CO and H and O

Hydrocarbon combustion reactions (specifically alkanes)

\large {\boxed {\bold {C_nH _ (_2_n _ + _ 2_) + \frac {3n + 1} {2} O_2 ----> nCO_2 + (n + 1) H_2O}}}

Equalization of chemical reaction equations can be done using variables.

Steps in equalizing the reaction equation:

  • 1. gives a coefficient on substances involved in the equation of reaction such as a, b, or c etc.
  • 2. make an equation based on the similarity of the number of atoms where the number of atoms = coefficient × index between reactant and product
  • 3. Select the coefficient of the substance with the most complex chemical formula equal to 1

For gas combustion reaction which is a reaction of hydrocarbons with oxygen produces CO₂ and H₂O (water vapor). can use steps:

Balancing C atoms, H and last atoms O atoms

Methana combustion reaction

CH₄ (g) + O₂ (g) -> CO₂ (g) + H₂0 (g)

We give the most complex compounds, namely Methane, we give the number 1

So the reaction becomes

CH₄ (g) + aO₂ (g) -> bCO₂ (g) + cH₂0 (g)

C atom on the left 1, right b, so b = 1

H atom on the left 4, right 2c, so 2c = 4 ---> c = 2

Atom O on the left 2a, right 2b + c, so 2a = 2b + c

2a = 2.1 + 2

2a = 4

a = 2

The equation becomes:

CH₄ (g) + 2O₂ (g) -> CO₂ (g) + 2H₂0 (g)

A compound is made of 6.00 grams of oxygen, 7.00 grams of nitrogen, and 20.00grams of hydrogen. Find the percent composition of
xxTIMURxx [149]

The percent composition of the compound.

A O-18.18%, N-21.21%, H-60.60%

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

6.00 grams of oxygen,

7.00 grams of nitrogen,

20.00 grams of hydrogen.

Required

The percent composition

Solution

Total mass :

= mass of O + mass of N + mass of H

= 6 + 7 + 20

= 33 g

% O = 6/33 x 100%= 18.18%

% N = 7/33 x 100%=21.21%

% H = 20/33 x 100% = 60.6 %
