Answer:

The maximum amount of CO2 that can be formed is 9.15 grams CO2

O2 is the limiting reactant

There will remain 4.82 grams of benzene

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of benzene = 7.53 grams

Mass of oxygen gas = 8.33 grams

Molar mass of benzene = 78.11 g/mol

Molar mass oxygen gas = 32.00 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

2C6H6 + 15O2 → 12CO2 + 6H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles C6H6 = 7.53 grams / 78.11 g/mol

Moles C6H6 = 0.0964 moles

Moles O2 = 8.33 grams / 32.00 g/mol

Moles O2 = 0.2603 moles

Step 4: Calculate the limiting reactant

For 2 moles benzene we need 15 moles O2 to produce 12 moles CO2 and 6 moles H2O

O2 is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed ( 0.2603 moles). Benzene is in excess. there will react 2/15 * 0.2603 = 0.0347 moles

There will remain 0.0964 - 0.0347 = 0.0617 moles benzene

This is 0.0617 moles * 78.11 g/mol = <u>4.82 grams benzene</u>

<u />

Step 5: Calculate moles CO2

For 2 moles benzene we need 15 moles O2 to produce 12 moles CO2 and 6 moles H2O

For 0.2603 moles O2 we'll have 12/15 * 0.2603 = 0.208 moles CO2

Step 6: Calculate mass CO2

Mass CO2 = moles CO2 * molar mass CO2

Mass CO2 = 0.208 moles * 44.01 g/mol

<u>Mass CO2 = 9.15 grams</u>

Which of the following best describes an ecosystem in a California tide pool?
frosja888 [35]

Answer: i think your answer is<u> The giant green anemones, the ochre sea stars, and the red octopuses</u> because an ecosystem means all the organisms and the physical environment with which they interact. If not then your other option would be <u>A a school of fluffy sculpins.</u>

Hope this helped you!

If a reaction is not spontaneous, what is true of the reaction?
Murrr4er [49]
Spontaneous = exothermic. If it is not spontaneous, it is endothermic. ΔG > 0, which means that the reaction uses energy instead of emitting it.

Answer:

The correct answers are:

• Softer, porous, or more permeable rocks weather faster than harder rocks.

• Rocks in warmer climates weather faster than rocks in colder climates.

• The more water present, the faster the rate of weathering.

Explanation:

Weathering is the process through which the surface minerals of rock are broken down and loosened. This occurs through the action of extreme temperatures, rainwater and biological activity.

Hope this helps- Good luck ^w

How does liquid carbon dioxide connect to organic chemistry <br> please I need long answers
inessss [21]
Carbon dioxide can’t exist in three states; Gas, Liquid & Solid. At normal temperatures and pressures, CO2 is colorless with a slightly pungent odor at high concentrations. If compressed and cooled to proper temperature the gas liquifies. Solid CO2, (dry ice) sublimates back to the natural gaseous state.
