Answer:

The maximum mass of carbon dioxide that could be produced by the chemical reaction is 70.6gCO_{2}

Explanation:

1. Write down the balanced chemical reaction:

2C_{6}H_{14}_{(l)}+19O_{2}_{(g)}=12CO_{2}_{(g)}+14H_{2}O_{(g)}

2. Find the limiting reagent:

- First calculate the number of moles of hexane and oxygen with the mass given by the problem.

For the hexane:

70.0gC_{6}H_{14}*\frac{1molC_{6}H_{14}}{86.2gC_{6}H_{14}}=0.81molesC_{6}H_{14}

For the oxygen:

81.3gO_{2}*\frac{1molO_{2}}{32.0gO_{2}}=2.54molesO_{2}

- Then divide the number of moles between the stoichiometric coefficient:

For the hexane:

\frac{0.81}{2}=0.41

For the oxygen:

\frac{2.54}{19}=0.13

- As the fraction for the oxygen is the smallest, the oxygen is the limiting reagent.

3. Calculate the maximum mass of carbon dioxide that could be produced by the chemical reaction:

The calculations must be done with the limiting reagent, that is the oxygen.

81.3gO_{2}*\frac{1molO_{2}}{32gO_{2}}*\frac{12molesCO_{2}}{19molesO_{2}}*\frac{44.0gCO_{2}}{1molCO_{2}}=70.6gCO_{2}

What stress would shift the equilibrium position of the following system to the right?
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

Decreasing the concentration of N2O3

Explanation:

This is because the products on the right of the reaction occupy more space. One (1) mole of NO and another mole of NO2 will occupy more space than the one (1) mole of N2O3. Therefore decreasing the concentration of N2O3 will shift the reaction to the right because the products will have more space to occupy – hence favoring equilibrium.

Balancing Equations help (please explain)
klemol [59]

Answer:

A balanced equation is an equation for a chemical reaction in which the number of atoms for each element in the reaction and the total charge is the same for both the reactants and the products. In other words, the mass and the charge are balanced on both sides of the reaction.

A certain material has a mass of 12.48 g while occupying 12.48 cm3 of space. What is this material?
Salsk061 [2.6K]
This material has a density of 1 g/cm3.
(since 12.48 g/ 12.48 cm3 = 1 g/cm3)

Therefore, this material is water.

Lera25 [3.4K]
Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute in 1 L of solution 
molarity of stock solution to be prepared - 100 x 10⁻³ mol/L
volume of stock solution to be prepared - 1.2 mL 
Therefore number of moles in 1.2 mL - 100 x 10⁻³ mol/L x 1.2 x 10⁻³ L 
number of moles of drug - 1.2 x 10⁻⁴ mol 
mass of drug required - 1.2 x 10⁻⁴ mol x 181.6 g/mol = 21. 8 mg
21.8 g of drug is required to make the stock solution
