Answer:

0.00 g

Explanation:

We have the masses of two reactants, so this is a limiting reactant problem.  

We will need a balanced equation with masses, moles, and molar masses of the compounds involved.

1. Gather all the information in one place with molar masses above the formulas and masses below them.  

Mᵣ            30.07      32.00  

              2CH₃CH₃ + 7O₂ ⟶ 4CO₂ + 6H₂O

Mass/g:      1.50          11.

2. Calculate the moles of each reactant  

\text{moles of C$_{2}$H}_{6} = \text{1.50 g C$_{2}$H}_{6} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol C$_{2}$H}_{6}}{\text{30.07 g C$_{2}$H}_{6}} = \text{0.04988 mol C$_{2}$H}_{6}\\\\\text{moles of O}_{2} = \text{11. g O}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol O}_{2}}{\text{32.00 g O}_{2}} = \text{0.34 mol O}_{2}

3. Calculate the moles of CO₂ we can obtain from each reactant

From ethane:

The molar ratio is 4 mol CO₂:2 mol C₂H₆

\text{Moles of CO}_{2} = \text{0.04988 mol C$_{2}$H}_{6} \times \dfrac{\text{4 mol CO}_{2}}{\text{2 mol C$_{2}$H}_{6}} = \text{0.09976 mol CO}_{2}

From oxygen:

The molar ratio is 4 mol CO₂:7 mol O₂

\text{Moles of CO}_{2} =  \text{0.34 mol O}_{2}\times \dfrac{\text{4 mol CO}_{2}}{\text{7 mol O}_{2}} = \text{0.20 mol CO}_{2}

4. Identify the limiting and excess reactants

The limiting reactant is ethane, because it gives the smaller amount of CO₂.

The excess reactant is oxygen.

5. Mass of ethane left over.

Ethane is the limiting reactant. It will be completely used up.

The mass of ethane left over will be 0.00 g.

What is the total amount of heat absorbed by 100.0
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Option (B) 6270J

Explanation:

The following were obtained from the question:

M = 100g

T1 = 30°C

T2 = 45°C

ΔT = 45 —30 = 15°C

C = 4.18J/g°C

Q=?

Q = MCΔT

Q = 100 x 4.18 x 15

Q = 6270J

Therefore, the total amount of heat absorbed is 6270J

Ionising radiation is emitted all the time by __________ sources. What one word completes the sentence?
sveticcg [70]

Answer:Radioactive substances give out radiation all of the time. There are three types of nuclear radiation: alpha, beta and gamma. Alpha is the least penetrating, while gamma is the most penetrating. Nonetheless, all three are ionising radiation: they can knock electrons out of atoms and form charged particles.

If chemical reactions involve atoms disconnecting from each other and then connecting with different atoms in different ways, wh
Valentin [98]

Answer:  Energy can  be involved in disconnecting or connecting atoms to each other as the energy is used to break the bonds between the atoms ,so the reaction could proceed.

Explanation:<u> The statement can be well explained by the  Planck's quantum theory , which states -:</u>

  • In the form of small energy packets known as quanta of energy, energy is not released continuously, but discontinuously.
  • The energy of each quantum is directly proportional to radiation frequency, i.e. E is directly proportional to v, where v is frequency E = hv, where h is the proportionality constant known as the constant of Planck.
  • Any integer quanta will be the total energy of the radiation emitted or absorbed. Let the 'E' be the total radiation energy. So, when n is an integer, E'=nhv.

Hence, the given answer is based on the Planck's Quantum theory.
