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.

The solvent is usually referred to as the component of a solution which is present as the one with the larger quantity and in most cases as the liquid which dissolves a solid. In a solution, there are two components namely the solvent and the solute. The solute is the one in smaller amount.

Calculate the density of the items below. (D = M/V)<br> 1) M = 15g V = 5.0ml *
grin007 [14]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 3.0 g/mL</h3>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume} \\

From the question

mass = 15 g

volume = 5 mL

We have

density =  \frac{15}{5}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>3.0 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

A solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) was standardized against potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP). A known mass of KHP was titra
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

In order to calculate this, we need to use the following expression to get the concentration of the base:

MaVa = MbVb (1)

We already know the volume of NaOH used which is 13.4473 mL. We do not have the concentration of KHP, but we can use the moles. We have the mass of KHP which is 0.5053 g and the molecular formula. Let's calculate the molecular mass of KHP:

Atomic weights of the elements to be used:

K = 39.0983 g/mol;  H = 1.0078 g/mol;  C = 12.0107 g/mol;  O = 15.999 g/mol

MM KHP = (1.0078*5) + (39.0983) + (8*12.0107) + (4*15.999) = 204.2189 g/mol

Now, let's calculate the mole of KHP:

moles = 0.5053 / 204.2189 = 0.00247 moles

With the moles, we also know that:

n = M*V (2)

Replacing in (1):

n = MbVb

Now, solving for Mb:

Mb = n/Vb  (3)

Finally, replacing the data:

Mb = 0.00247 / (13.4473/1000)

Mb = 0.184 M

This would be the concentration of NaOH

How can I explain that orange juice is a homogeneous mixture ?
Masteriza [31]

Answer: It is usually separated from tea leaves by filtration. B Because the composition of the solution is uniform throughout, it is a homogeneous mixture. A Orange juice contains particles of solid (pulp) as well as liquid; it is not chemically pure.
