See explanation
Explanation:
The molecular mass is the sum of the relative atomic masses of all the atoms in the molecule.
The relative atomic mass of reactants and products are calculated as follows;
Benzoic acid is C7H6O2 hence the molar mass of benzoic acid is ;
7(12) + 6(1) + 2(16) = 84 + 6 + 32 = 122.0 g/mol
Methyl benzoate is C8H8O2
8(12) + 8(1) + 2(16) = 96 + 8 + 32 = 136.0 g/mol
<u>61.25 grams</u> of CO can be formed from 35 grams of oxygen.
The molecular mass of oxygen is <u>16 gmol⁻¹</u>
The molecular mass of carbon monoxide is<u> 28 gmol⁻¹</u>
Explanation:
The molar mass of carbon monoxide is molar mass of C added to that of O;
12 + 16 = 28
= 28g/mol
The molar mass of oxygen is 16 g/mol while that of oxygen gas (O₂) is 32 g/mol
Since the ration oxygen to carbon monoxide is 1: 2 moles, we begin to find out how many moles of carbon monoxide are formed by 35 g of oxygen;
35/32 * 2
= 70/32 moles
Then multiply by the molar mass of carbon monoxide;
70/32 * 28
= 61.25 g
