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>

fish give off the compound ammonia which has a pH above 7 to which class of compounds does ammonia belong
jasenka [17]
<span><u><em>Answer:</em></u>
The compound ammonia given by fish is alkaline

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
<u>We can classify elements/compounds based on their pH values into three types:</u>
<u>acids:</u> these are compounds having pH value lower than 7
<u>neutral:</u> these are compounds having pH value equal to 7
<u>alkalies:</u> these are compounds having pH values higher than 7

This is shown in the attached image

We are given that the pH of the compound ammonia generated by the fish is above 7.
According to the above explanation, compound ammonia would be an alkaline compound.

Hope this helps :)</span>

During oxidation, which of the following is true? A. Electrons are gained, so the oxidation number increases. B. Electrons are g
EastWind [94]

Oxidation is when the overall charge (or oxidation number) increases.  The only way to increase an oxidation number is to lose an electron, thereby making the negative charges less.  The correct answer is C.

The reaction 2a → a2​​​​​ was experimentally determined to be second order with a rate constant, k, equal to 0.0265 m–1min–1. if
olga nikolaevna [1]
According to the second order formula:
1/[At] = K t + 1/[Ao]
and when we have the K constant =0.0265 & we have t = 180 min & we have the initial concentration of A = 4.25 so by substitution:

1/[At]  = 0.0265 X 180min + 1/4.25 
1/[At] = 5
∴[At] = 1/5 = 0.2 m
