Answer:

0.54 mole

Explanation:

                                     CH3COOH    CH3CH2OH   CH3COOCH2CH3    H2O​

Initial concentration   1.0 mole         1.0 mole                0 mole                  1.0mol

Change                          - x                   - x                      + x                          + x  

Equilibrium                   (1.0 - x)          (1.0 - x)                   x                       (1.0 + x)

K = [CH3COOCH2CH3]*[H2O​]/[CH3COOH]*[CH3CH2OH]

x*(1.0+x)/(1.0-x)(1.0-x) = 4.0

x+x²=4*(1-x)²

x+x² = 4(1² - 2x + x²)

x + x² = 4 - 8x + 4x²

4 - 8x + 4x²- x² - x= 0

3x² - 9x + 4 = 0

x=2.5 , x=0.54

2.5 mole of acid cannot be esterified, because there is only 1.0 mole of acid,

so answer is 0.54 mole.

Why does ice float on water ?
Oduvanchick [21]

Ice floats because it is less dense than water. When water freezes, it creates a crystal lattice that occupies more volume than the water did. Because it is less dense, ice is displaced by water (and floats on top).

What would be the best method to separate this solid from the solution?
PolarNik [594]
The best way to separate out a precipitate is using vacuum filtration. Use water to rinse out the flask thoroughly and wash the precipitate, followed by a quick rinse with ethanol to help dry it. After a few minutes on the vacuum pump, the precipitate should be ready to scrape off.<span> Also, centrifugation can be an option for small amounts especially if you just need the filtrate. For reasonable amounts, a Millipore setup or Gooch type crucible works nicely for quantitative analysis.</span>

An unknown quantity of methane gas, CHA, is held in a 2.00-liter container at 77°C. The pressure inside the container is 3.00 am
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

0.21\text{ mol}

Explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the number of moles of methane in the container

From the ideal gas law:

\begin{gathered} PV\text{ = nRT} \\ n\text{ = }\frac{PV}{RT} \end{gathered}

where:

P is the pressure inside the container which is 3 atm

V is the volume of the container which is 2 L

R is the molar gas constant which is 0.0821 Latm/mol.k

T is the temperature in Kelvin (we convert the temperature in Celsius by adding 273 : 273 + 77 = 350 K)

n is the number of moles that we want to calculate

Substituting the values, we have it that:

n=\text{ }\frac{3\times2}{0.0821\text{ }\times350}\text{ = 0.21 mol}
