Answer:

m_{H_2O}=4.86gH_2O

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the described chemical reaction is:

C_2H_6+\frac{7}{2} O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O

Thus, for the given reacting masses, we must identify the limiting reactant for us to determine the maximum mass of water that could be produced, therefore, we proceed to compute the available moles of ethane:

n_{C_2H_6}=2.7gC_2H_6*\frac{1molC_2H_6}{30gC_2H_6} =0.09molC_2H_6

Next, we compute the moles of ethane consumed by 13.0 grams of oxygen by using the 1:7/2 molar ratio between them:

n_{C_2H_6}^{consumed\ by \ O_2}=13.0gO_2*\frac{1molO_2}{32gO_2}*\frac{1molC_2H_6}{\frac{7}{2} molO_2}=0.116molC_2H_6

Thus, we notice there are less available moles of ethane, for that reason, it is the limiting reactant, thereby, the maximum amount of water is computed by considering the 1:3 molar ratio between ethane and water:

m_{H_2O}=0.09molC_2H_6*\frac{3molH_2O}{1molC_2H_6} *\frac{18gH_2O}{1molH_2O} \\\\m_{H_2O}=4.86gH_2O

Best regards.

serg [7]

Answer:

Formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonding between water molecules and molecules of n-butanol

Explanation:

Low molecular weight alcohols are miscible with water in all proportions. The reason for this is that, when a low molecular weight alcohol is dissolved in water, intermolecular hydrogen bonds are formed between the low molecular weight alcohol and water molecules.

Low molecular weight alcohols such as n-butanol contain the polar -OH group which interacts with water via hydrogen bonding.

Magnesium (average atomic mass = 24.3050 amu) consists of three isotopes with masses 23.9850 amu, 24.9858 amu, and 25.9826 amu.
iris [78.8K]

Answer: The first isotope has a relative abundance of 79% and last isotope has a relative abundance of 11%

Explanation: Given that the average atomic mass(M) of magnesium

= 24.3050amu

Mass of first isotope (M1) = 23.9850amu

Mass of middle isotope (M2)=24.9858amu

Mass of last isotope(M3)= 25.9826amu

Total abundance = 1

Abundance of middle isotope = 0.10

Let abundance of first and last isotope be x and y respectively.

x+0.10+y =1

x = 0.90-y

M = M1 × % abundance of first isotope + M2 × % of middle isotope +M3 ×% of last isotope

24.03050= 23.985× x + 24.9858 ×0.10 + 25.9826×y

Substitute x= 0.90-y

Then

y = 0.11

Since y=0.11, then

x= 0.90-0.11

x=0.79

Therefore the relative abundance of the first isotope = 11% and the relative abundance of the last isotope = 79%
