The combustion of a sample butane, C4H10 (lighter fluid) produced 2.46 grams of water. how much oxygen was used up in grams

Chemistry
1 answer:
Afina-wow [57]3 years ago
8 0

The balanced combustion reaction for butane is;

2C4H10 + 13O2 → 8CO2 + 10H2O

Molar mass of water = 18.02 g/mol

Molar mass of oxygen = 32 g/mol

 

2.46g H2O(1 mol H2O/18.02g)(13 mol O2/10 mol H2O)(32g O2/1 mol O2) = 5.68g O2

Vitamin c is known chemically by the name ascorbic acid determine the empirical formula of ascorbic acid if it is composed of 40
kow [346]

Answer:

=C_3H_4O_3

Explanation:

When percentage composition is given, and asked for the empirical formula, it is simplest to  assume 100 g of material. Thus,

Mass C = 40.92 g.  Moles C = 40.92 g x 1 mole/12 g = 3.41 moles C

Mass H = 4.58 g.  Moles H = 4.58 g x 1 mole/1.0 g = 4.58 moles H

Mass O = 54.50 g.  Moles O = 54.50 g x 1 mole/16 g = 3.41 moles O

Now, we want to get the moles into whole numbers, so we begin by dividing all by the smallest, i.e. divide all values by 3.41.

Moles C = 3.41/3.41 = 1

Moles H = 4.58/3.41 = 1.34

Moles O = 3.41/3.41 = 1

Now, in order to get 1.34 to be a whole number we multiply it (and all others) by 3

Moles C = 1x3 = 3

Moles H = 1.34x3 = 4

Moles O = 1x3 = 3

Empirical Formula =C_3H_4O_3

Carbon disulfide is formed by the reaction of coke (carbon) with sulfur dioxide. how many moles of cs2 will be generated if 8.0
trapecia [35]
<span>The equation that produces carbon disulfide from the reaction of coke and sufur dioxide is expressed in the balanced equation: c+ 2sO2 = CS2 + 2O2. For every mole of coke reacted, there is one mole of carbon disulfide produced. Hence the answer here is 8 moles of CS2 </span>

Fill in the blanks to complete the table
aleksandrvk [35]

The atomic number(Z) is equal to the number of protons to equal to number of electrons.

The number of neutrons is equal to atomic mass minus the atomic number

n=A-Z

For Zn^2+, Z=28, e=28

For iron, Z=25,A=55

The number of neutrons is 55-25=30

The charge is zero

For O^2-, Z=8+2=10, n=p=10

The number of neutrons is 16-10=6

For sulfur, Z=16,A=34

For S2-, Z=16+2=18, A=34

The charge is 2-

  • The atomic number is the basis of the periodic table.
  • It is equal to the number of protons.
  • The number of neutrons is atomic mass minus atomic number.

Which metal can be extracted from bauxite ore?​
Finger [1]
Aluminum
Bauxite ore is the world's primary source of aluminum. The ore must first be chemically processed to produce alumina (aluminum oxide). Alumina is then smelted using an electrolysis process to produce pure aluminum metal. Bauxite is typically found in topsoil located in various tropical and subtropical regions.
