Write the balanced equation for the reaction given below: C2H6 + O2 --> CO2 + H2O. If 16.4 L of C2H6 reacts with 0.980 mol of

O2, how many liters of carbon dioxide gas will be produced? What is the limiting reagent? How many oxygen atoms will be in this sample of carbon dioxide? How many moles of the excess reactant will be left over? How many grams of the excess reactant will be left over?

The balanced reaction: C2H6 + 7/2 O2 -> 2 CO2 + 3 H2O

We first convert volume of C2H6 to no. of moles. We use the conditions at STP where 1 mol = 22.4 L thus,

Moles C2H6 = 16.4 L/ 22.4 L =0.7321 mol

In order to determine the limiting reagent, we look at the given amounts of the reactants.

0.7321 mol C2H6 (7/2 mol O2 / 1 mol C2H6) = 2.562 mol O2

From the given amounts of the reactants, we can say that O2 is the limiting reactant since we need 2.562 mol O2 to completely react the given amount of C2H6. The excess reagent is C2H6

To calculate for the amount of products and excess reactants:

0.980 mol O2 (2 mol CO2 / (7/2 mol O2)) = 0.56 mol CO2 (22.4 L / 1 mol ) =12.544 L CO2
<span>0.980 mol O2 (1 mol C2H6 / (7/2 mol O2)) = 0.28 mol C2H6
Excess C2H6 = 0.7321 mol - 0.28 mol C2H6 = 0.4521 mol C2H6

We then use the molecular weight of C2H6 to convert the excess amount to grams.

0.4521 mol C2H6 (30.08 g C2H6 / 1 mol C2H6) = <span>13.60 g C2H6 
</span></span>
<span>Since the limiting reagent is O2 there will be no oxygen atoms that will be left after the reaction.</span>

If water were a linear (not bent) molecule like co2, electrostatic interactions between water molecules would be much weaker. wh
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer;

The partial negative charge on oxygen would stick out less and be less able to participate in hydrogen bonding.

Explanation;

Water is a polar molecule because the electrons are not shared equally, they're closer to the oxygen atom than the hydrogen.

-Normally, the water molecule is a bent shape because of the pair of lone electrons - they repulse each other and exert a compression to the hydrogen atoms at a slight 104º angle. It is a bent molecular geometry that results from tetrahedral electron pair geometry.

-The 2 lone electron pairs exerts a little extra repulsion on the two bonding hydrogen atoms to create a slight compression to a 104 degrees bond angle. Therefore, the water molecule is bent molecular geometry because the lone electron pairs.

Thus, If water were a linear molecule like co2, electrostatic interactions between water molecules would be much weaker, then the partial negative charge on oxygen would stick out less and be less able to participate in hydrogen bonding.

All of the covalent carbon-carbon bonds in unsaturated hydrocarbons share 2 pairs of electrons.
Evgen [1.6K]

False. carbon-carbon bonds that share 2 pairs of electrons are double bonds. An unsaturated hydrocarbon isnt necessary to only have double bonds. they can also have single bonds or triple bonds.

Why can an increase in temperature lead to more
Burka [1]

Answer:

An increase in temperature lead to more effective collisions between reactant particles

increase in the rate of a chemical reaction because the number of molecules with sufficient energy to react increases.
