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 = 12.81 grams

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 = 75.70 grams CO2

Step 7: Calculate actual yield

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

actual yield = 0.453 * 75.70 = 34.29 grams

Two Balloons one filled with hydrogen gas and second filled with neon gas. what gas should be used in an experiement to identify

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Oxygen

Explanation:

If two balloons are filled with hydrogen gas and helium gas respectively, then we want to identify what gas is in each balloon, we have to do so by exposing the both balloons to flame in an oxygen atmosphere.

Hydrogen combines with oxygen in the presence of a flame with quite a loud sound and the flame is sustained but when a flame is brought near helium gas in a balloon, the gas will only make a little sound when exposed to the flame and extinguish the flame.

The reason for the explosion of the gas in the hydrogen balloon is that combustion of hydrogen gas is exothermic. The heating up of surrounding air molecules leads to a sudden explosion.

However, the helium balloon makes a little sound when the balloon is ruptured releasing helium gas which extinguishes the flame.

Which type of mixture can be separated using a sieve?

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

D: a heterogeneous mixture with components of varying sizes

Heterogeneous mixture is a combination of substances that doesn't have uniform composition and properties. Just by looking at the mixture you can differentiate the compounds because they are so different. Using a sieve, allows the components with different sizes to separate, while one is retained, the others can pass the holes in the sieve.

Evaluate each statement and determine which statement is not a determining factor in the formation of intrusive igneous rocks? G

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer: The statement that is not a determining factor in formation of intrusive igneous rocks is 'None of the above' and Magma cools very fast beneath the Earth's surface.

Explanation:

Rocks are naturally occurring solid materials that are made up of different types of minerals which affects it's texture and colours. The three main types of rocks are:

--> sedimentary rocks,

--> metamorphic rocks and

--> igneous rocks.

Igneous rocks are formed from the crystallization and solidification of hot molten rocks which originates from deep within the earth. Depending on where the molten rock solidifies, the igneous rock is divided into two, namely:

--> intrusive igneous rock and

--> extrusive igneous rock.

The INTRUSIVE IGNEOUS rocks are formed within or deep beneath the earth surface when the hot magma SLOWLY cools over millions of years until it solidifies. The slow cooling allows large crystals to grow.

Therefore the statements (None of the above and Magma cools very fast beneath the Earth's surface) are not a determining factor.

Give the symbol of the element that has the largest atomic size in group 3a (13).

Anni [7]

This family of elements is headed by boron. In this case, atomic size increases as one goes down the periodic table, as there are more electrons in each successive element needed to fill the outer shells. As such, thallium, at the lowest level of the group 3a column, will have the largest atomic size.
