An unknown compound contains only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (CxHyOz). Combustion of 6.50 g of this compound produced 9.53 g o

f carbon dioxide and 3.90 g of water. If 6.50 g of the unknown compound contained 0.217 mol of C and 0.433 mol of H, how many moles of oxygen, O, were in the sample?

Answer:

There were 0.216 moles of oxygen in the sample

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of compound = 6.50 grams

Mass of CO2 = 9.53 grams

Molar mass of CO2 = 44.01 g/mol

Mass of H2O = 3.90 grams

Molar mass H2O = 18.02 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles CO2

Moles CO2 = 9.53 grams / 44.01 g/mol

Moles CO2 = 0.217 moles

Step 3: Calculate moles C

For 1 mol CO2 we have 1 mol C

For 0.217 moles CO2 we have 0.217 moles C

Step 4: Calculate mass C

Mass C = 0.217 moles C *12.01 g/mol

Mass C = 2.61 grams

Step 5: calculate moles H2O

Moles H2O = 3.90 grams / 18.02 g/mol

Moles H2O = 0.216 moles

Step 6: Calculate moles H

In 1 mol H2O we have 2 moles H

In 0.216 moles H2O we have 0.433 moles H

Step 7: Calculate mass H

Mass H = 0.433 moles * 1.01 g/mol

Mass H = 0.437 grams

Step 8: Calculate mass O

Mass O = 6.50 grams - 2.61 grams - 0.437 grams

Mass O = 3.453 grams

Step 9: Calculate moles O

Moles O = 3.453 grams / 16.0 g/mol

Moles O = 0.216 moles

There were 0.216 moles of oxygen in the sample

use the equation 2C4H10 +13O2--&gt;8CO2+10H2O to find how many moles of oxygen would react with .425 mol C4H10
antoniya [11.8K]
2C4H10 + 13O2  →  8CO2 + 10H2O Since the equation is balanced, we can set up a proportion: 13 moles of O2 react with 2 moles of C4H10x  moles of O2 react with 0.425 moles of C4H10 13 → 2x → 0.425 x = 13 * 0.425 / 2 = 2.7625 <span>2.7625 moles of O2 react with 0.425 moles of C4H10</span>

What force is necessary to accelerates a 1250kg car at a rate of 40 m/s
zalisa [80]

Answer:

F = 50000 N

Explanation:

The acceleration is rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time.

Formula:

a = Δv/Δt

a = acceleration

Δv = change in velocity

Δt = change in time

Units:

The unit of acceleration is m.s⁻².

Acceleration can also be determine through following formula,

F = m × a

a = F/m

Given data:

Mass of car = 1250 Kg

Acceleration = 40 m/s².

Force = ?

Solution:

F = m × a

F = 1250 Kg ×  40 m/s²

Kg.m/s² = N

F = 50000 N
