A student in chemistry 150-02 weighed out 55.5 g of octane (C8H18) and allowed it to react with oxygen, O2. The products formed

were carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
Write a balanced equation for the reaction

How many grams of oxygen are required to react with 55.0g of octane (C8H18)?

How many grams of CO2 are produced from 55.0g of octane (C8H18)?

How many molecules of H2O are produced from 55.0g of octane (C8H18)?

Answer:

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of octane = 55.5 g

Balanced chemical equation = ?

Mass of oxygen required to react  = ?

Mass of CO₂ for med = ?

Molecules of water produced = ?

Mass of octane required to produced 30.0 g of water = ?

Solution:

1)

Chemical equation:

2C₈H₁₈ + 25O₂     →  16CO₂ + 18H₂O

2)

Mass of oxygen required to react  = ?

Mass of octane = 55.0 g

Solution:

Number of moles of octane:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 55.0 g/114.23 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.48 mol

Now we will compare the moles of octane with oxygen.

                        C₈H₁₈          :           O₂

                           2              :            25

                         0.48          :          25/2×0.48 = 6 mol

Mass of oxygen required:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 6 mol × 32 g/mol

Mass = 192 g

3)

Given data:

Mass of carbon dioxide produced = ?

Mass of octane = 55g

Solution:

Number of moles of octane:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 55.0 g/114.23 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.48 mol

Now we will compare the moles of octane with CO₂.

                        C₈H₁₈          :           CO₂

                           2              :            16

                         0.48          :          16/2×0.48 = 3.84 mol

Mass of CO₂ produced:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 3.84 mol × 44 g/mol

Mass = 168.96 g

4)

Given data:

Molecules of water produced = ?

Mass of octane = 55g

Solution:

Number of moles of octane:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 55.0 g/114.23 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.48 mol

Now we will compare the moles of octane with H₂O.

                        C₈H₁₈          :           H₂O

                           2              :            18

                         0.48          :          18/2×0.48 = 4.32 mol

Number  of molecules of water:

1 mol = 6.022× 10²³ molecules

4.32 mol × 6.022× 10²³ molecules/ 1 mol

26 × 10²³ molecules

5)

Given data:

Mass of octane required = ?

Mass of water produced = 30 g

Solution:

Number of moles of water.

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 30 g/ 18 gmol

Number  of moles = 1.67 mol

Now we will compare the moles of water and octane from balance chemical equation:

2C₈H₁₈ + 25O₂     →  16CO₂ + 18H₂O

                 

H₂O        :         C₈H₁₈

 18          :          2

 1.67       :       2/18×1.67 = 0.185 mol

Mass of octane:

Mass = number of moles ×molar mass

Mass = 0.185 × 114.23 g/mol

Mass = 21.13 g

Explain how particles move before during and after melting
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

Particles would move more freely, while still staying close together depending on the shape of the liquid

Explanation:

Melting is the process of going from a solid to a liquid due to the increase in heat/energy. This increase in heat/energy increases the speed at which the atoms within the object moves. Lets say we had an ice cube. While it is a cube, the particles inside the cube are slow and compact, staying close together.

When enough energy is gained, this makes the particles begin to move faster, gaining heat and energy which results in the ice cube melting and moving more freely than normal.

2. A chemical analysis of a sample provides the following elemental data:
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

C3 H6 O2

Explanation:

first divide their mass by their respective molar mass, we get:

30.4 moles of C

61.2 moles of H

20.25 moles of O

now divide everyone by the smallest one of them then we get

C= 1.5

H= 3

O= 1

since our answer of C is not near to any whole number so we will multiply all of them by 2

so,

C3 H6 O2 is our answer

Butoxors [25]

\huge{ \underline{ \boxed{ \bf{ \green{Answer:}}}}}

Inside the stomach, Hydrochloric acid kills micro-organisms in the food. Stomach juices begin to break down <u>proteins</u> to amino acids.

✤ So, Fill the blank with proteins.

<h3><u>Explanation:-</u></h3>
  • Inside the stomach, the digestion of proteins starts due to the action of pepsin enzyme.
  • But this enzyme remains inactive and is activated by the Hydrochloric acid(HCl).
  • The Hydrochloric acid also helps in killing the germs and microbes which entered along with food.
  • The mucous lines the wall of stomach to protect it from the harm caused by HCl because HCl is a strong acid.
  • In stomach, The partial digestion of proteins occur and rest is digested in the small intestine by Trypsin(Pancreatic enzyme) and Intestinal juices.
