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

Some antacid tables contain aluminum hydroxide. The aluminum hydroxide reacts with stomach acid according to the equation: Al(OH
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

26.67 mol HCl

Explanation:

Al(OH)₃ + 3HCl → AlCl₃ + 3H₂O

In order to solve this problem, we need to c<u>onvert Al(OH)₃ moles to HCl moles</u>.

To do so we use the<em> stoichiometric ratios</em> of the balanced reaction:

  • 8.89 mol Al(OH)₃ * \frac{3molHCl}{1molAl(OH)_{3}} = 26.67 mol HCl

Thus 26.67 moles of HCl would react completely with 8.89 moles of Al(OH)₃.

The measured voltage of an electrochemical cell consisting of pure nickel immersed in a solution of Ni2+ ions of unknown concent
Verizon [17]

Answer:

[Ni²⁺] = 1.33 M

Explanation:

To do this, we need to use the Nernst equation which (in standard conditions of temperature)

E = E° - RT/nF lnQ

However R and F are constant, and the reaction is taking place in 25 °C so we can assume the nernst equation like this:

E = E° - 0.05916/n logQ

As the nickel is in the cathode, this means that this element is being reducted while Cadmium is being oxidized, therefore the REDOX reaction would be:

Cd(s) + Ni²⁺(aq) --------> Cd²⁺(aq) + Ni(s)

With this, Q:

Q = [Cd²⁺] / [Ni²⁺]

Now, we need to know the value of the standard reduction potentials, which can be calculated with the semi equations of reduction and oxidation:

Cd(s) ------------> Cd²⁺ + 2e⁻       E°₁ = 0.40 V

Ni²⁺ + 2e⁻ -------------> Ni(s)        E°₂ = -0.25 V

E° = E°₁ + E°₂

E° = 0.40 - 0.25 = 0.15 V

Now that we have all the data, we can solve for the [Ni²⁺]:

0.133 = 0.15 - 0.05916/2 log(5/[Ni²⁺])

0.133 - 0.15 = -0.05916/2 log(5/[Ni²⁺])

-0.017 = -0.02958 log(5/[Ni²⁺])

-0.017/-0.02958 = log(5/[Ni²⁺])

0.5747 = log(5/[Ni²⁺])

10^(0.5747) = 5/[Ni²⁺]

[Ni²⁺] = 5/3.7558

<h2>[Ni²⁺] = 1.33 M</h2>

muminat

Answer:

2NO(g) + O2(g) ---> 2NO2(g)

Explanation:

The mechanism for this reaction involves two elementary reactions in which both are bimolecular as shown below;

NO(g) +O2(g) ----> NO2(g) + O(g)

NO(g) + O(g) ----> NO2(g)

Hence overall balanced reaction equation;

2NO(g) + O2(g) ---> 2NO2(g)

1. Discuss briefly system and surrounding using suitable examples, highlighting heat transfers. 14 marks​
lisabon 2012 [21]

A system is a part of the <em>physical</em> universe defined <em>arbitrarily</em> for observation purposes.

Boundaries are a part of the <em>physical</em> universe that are around the system.

In a scientific sense, a system is a part of the <em>physical</em> universe whose boundaries, that is, the limit between the system and its surroundings, are defined <em>arbitrarily</em> for observation purposes.

A system contains at least a model, represented in a phenomenological way, and it can be isolated (no mass nor energy interactions), closed (no mass interactions) or open.

The surroundings are a part of the <em>physical</em> universe that are around the system.

An example is a coffee-maker, where coffee-maker the system and air represents the surroundings, the coffee-maker receives energy from a heat source to warm up itself and releases part of such energy to the air.
