Answer:

a) O2 is the limiting reactant

b) 75.70 grams CO2 (theoretical yield)

c) There remains 12.81 grams of C3H6O

d) The actual yield CO2 is 34.29 grams

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of C3H6O = 46.3 grams

Mass of O2 = 73.2 grams

Molar mass of C3H6O = 58.08 g/mol

Molar mass  of O2 = 32 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

C3H6O + 4O2 → 3 CO2 + 3H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles C3H6O

Moles C3H6O = mass C3H6O / molar mass C3H6O

Moles C3H6O = 46.3 grams / 58.08 g/mol

Moles C3H6O = 0.793 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles O2

Moles O2 = 73.2 grams / 32 g/mol

Moles O2 = 2.29 moles

Step 5: Calculate limiting reactant

For 1 mol C3H6O we need 4 moles of O2 to produce 3 moles CO2 and 3 moles H2O

O2 is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed. (2.29 moles).

C3H6O is in excess. There will react 2.29/4 = 0.5725 moles C3H6O

There will remain 0.793 - 0.5725 = 0.2205 moles C3H6O

This is 0.2205 moles * 58.08 g/mol =<u> 12.81 grams</u>

Step 6:  Calculate moles of CO2

For 1 mol C3H6O we need 4 moles of O2 to produce 3 moles CO2 and 3 moles H2O

For 2.29 moles O2 we need 3/4 * 2.29 = 1.72 moles CO2

This is 1,72 moles * 44.01 g/mol = <u>75.70 grams CO2</u>

Step 7: Calculate actual yield

% yield = 45.3 % = 0.453 = (actual yield / theoretical yield)

actual yield = 0.453 * 75.70 = <u>34.29 grams</u>

vredina [299]

Explanation:

The reasons that islands formed are still growing is simply because newer materials are being added to them.

  • A growing earth is as a result of addition of more materials arising from the mantle.
  • Generally, Volcanic islands forms as a result of magma that reaches the surface or ocean floor from deeper part of the earth.
  • This usually occurs in places around a plate boundary where materials upwells from the asthenosphere or shallow crustal melting.
  • As more materials are being melted, more also reaches the surface and continues to make the Island grow.

alpha particles

Explanation:

alpha particles the least penetrating but potentially most damaging and gamma rays the most penetrating. A beta particle, also called beta ray or beta radiation, is a high-energy, high-speed electron or positron emitted by the radioactive decay of an atomic nucleus during the process of beta decay.

A buffer is 0.282 m c6h5cooh(aq and 0.282 m na(c6h5coo(aq. calculate the ph after the addition of 0.150 moles of nitric acid to
Sindrei [870]
You have to use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. Keep in mind that because the Pka is given the equation changes form slightly:

PH = Pka + log[acid/base]

Step 1 (Figure out the concentrations):

0.282 M of Acid (C6H5OOH) - 0.150 M = 0.132 M of acid
0.282 M of Base (C6HCOO) + 0.150 M = 0.432 M of bas3

Step 2 (Plug into equation):

PH = Pka + log[acid/base]
PH = 4.20 + log[0.132 M/0.432 M]

PH = 3.69
