Answer:

6g

Explanation:

Step 1:

The balanced equation for the reaction between gaseous ethane and gaseous oxygen. This is given below:

2C2H6 + 7O2 —> 4CO2 + 6H2O

Step 2:

Determination of the masses of C2H6 and O2 that reacted and the mass of CO2 produced from the balanced equation. This is illustrated below:

2C2H6 + 7O2 —> 4CO2 + 6H2O

Molar Mass of C2H6 = (12x2) + (6x1) = 24 + 6 = 30g/mol

Mass of C2H6 from the balanced equation = 2 x 30 = 60g

Molar Mass of O2 = 16x2 = 32g/mol

Mass of O2 from the balanced equation = 7 x 32 = 224g

Molar Mass of CO2 = 12 + (2x16) = 12 + 32 = 44g/mol

Mass of CO2 from the balanced equation = 4 x 44 = 176g

From the balanced equation above,

60g of C2H6 reacted with 224g of O2 to produce 176g of CO2.

Step 3:

Determination of the limiting reactant.

We need to determine the limiting reactant as it will be needed to obtain the maximum mass of CO2.

From the balanced equation above,

60g of C2H6 reacted with 224g of O2.

Therefore, 2.71g of C2H6 will react with = (2.71 x 224)/60 = 10.12g of O2.

From the above calculation, we can see that a higher mass of O2 is needed to react with 2.71g of C2H6, therefore, O2 is the limiting reactant.

Step 4:

Determination of the maximum mass of CO2 produced when 2.71 g of ethane is mixed with 7.6 g of oxygen.

The limiting reactant is used to determine the maximum mass.

From the balanced equation above,

224g of O2 produce 176g of CO2.

Therefore, 7.6g of O2 will produce = (7.6 x 176)/224 = 5.97g ≈ 6g of CO2

From the calculations made above, the maximum mass of CO2 produced is 5.97 ≈ 6g

Arada [10]

Answer:

A) 3.6 cm

Explanation:

Accuracy comes down to how precisely you can read the length on a given scale. Here since the smallest increment is centimeter, we can go only one decimal beyond to estimate. This is because you can usually estimate to only one decimal place beyond the closest marks on any measuring.

So, the answer should be 3.6 cm.

Here's a document that explains it well: https://www.auburn.wednet.edu/cms/lib03/WA01001938/Centricity/Domain/1360/1_Uncertainty.pdf

Hope that's right!

How many moles of cesium (Cs) atoms are in 675g Cs?
sweet-ann [11.9K]
The atomic mass of Cs is 132.9. So the mole number of 675 g cesium is 675/132.9 = 5.08 mole. Then the answer should be 5.08 mole.

Identify some other substances (besides KCl) that might give a positive test for chloride upon addition of AgNO3. Based on the r
SashulF [63]

Answer:

Other substances that give a positive test with AgNO3 are other chlorides present, iodides and bromide. However iodides and bromides have different colours hence they will not give a false positive test for KCl. Other chlorides present may lead to a false positive test for KCl.

Explanation:

In the qualitative determination of halogen ions, silver nitrate solution is used. Various halide ions give various colours of precipitate with silver nitrate. Chlorides yield a white precipitate, bromides yield a cream precipitate while iodides yield a yellow precipitate. All these ions or some of them may be present in the system.

However, if other chlorides are present, they will also yield a white precipitate just as KCl leading to a false positive test for KCl. Since other halogen ions yield precipitates of different colours, they don't lead to a false test for KCl. We can exclude other halides from the tendency to lead us to a false positive test for KCl but not other chlorides.
