An organic liquid is a mixture of methyl alcohol (CH3OH) and ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH). A 0.220-g sample of the liquid is burned in

an excess of O2(g) and yields 0.345 g CO2(g) (carbon dioxide). Part A Set up two algebraic equations, one expressing the mass of carbon dioxide produced in terms of each reagent and the other expressing the mass of sample burned in terms of each reagent.What is the mass of methyl alcohol (CH3OH) in the sample?

Answer:

Mass of Methyl alcohol (or methanol) = 0.1403g

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Given data

Mass of Sample: ms = 0.220 g

Mass of CO2: m0 = 0.345 g

Mass of CH3OH = m1

Mass of C2H5OH = m2

Molar mass CO2 = 44.01 g/mole

Molar mass CH3OH = 32 g/mole

Molar mass C2H5OH 46.07 g/mole

<u>Step 2: </u>Tjhe balanced equation

2 CH3OH + 3 O2 = 2 CO2 + 4 H2O

C2H5OH + 3 O2 =2 CO2 + 3 H2O

------------------------------------------------------

2 CH3OH + C2H5OH + 6 O2 = 4 CO2 + 7 H2O

<u>Step 3:</u> Calculate mass

In the balanced equation we notice that , the amount of CO2 is related to the amount of the alcohols: Moles CO2 = 4

mass of CO2 = Molar mass CO2((mass CH3OH/ Molar mass CH3OH)+(mass C2H5OH/Molar mass C2H5OH))

mass of CO2 = 44.01 ((mass CH3OH/ 32.04) + (mass C2H5OH/ 46.07)

The sample has a mass of 0.220 g = mass CH3OH + mass C2H5OH

mass C2H5OH = 0.220G - mass CH3OH

This we will insert in the equation, so we will only have 1 unknown mass

0.345g = 44.01((m1/32.04) + (2(0.220-m1)/M2) )

<=> m1 = ((mCO2/44.01)-(2*0.22/46.07))÷((1/32.04)-(2/46.07))

Thus: m1 = ((0.345/44.01)-(2*0.220/46.07))÷((1/32.04)-(2/46.07))

Thus m1 = 0.1403 g  = Mass of CH3OH

Since m2=(ms-m1).

m2 = 0.220-0.1403 = 0.0797 g = Mass of C2H5OH

Mass of methyl alcohol (Methanol) = 0.1403g

Mass of ethyl alcohol (Ethanol) = 0.0797g.

A 0.211 g sample of carbon dioxide, CO2, has a volume of 560 mL and a pressure of 429 mmHg whats the temperature of the gas in K
SCORPION-xisa [38]

The temperature of the gas sample is 813 K.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We have to use the ideal gas equation to find the temperature of the gas sample.

The ideal gas equation is PV = nRT

Pressure, P = 429 mm Hg = 0.56 atm

Volume, V = 560 mL = 0.56 L

R = gas constant = 0.08205 L atm mol⁻¹K⁻¹

Mass = 0.211 g

Molar mass of carbon di oxide = 44.01 g / mol

Moles, n = $\frac{given mass}{molar mass} = \frac{0.211 g}{44.01 g/mol}

              = 0.0047 mol

Now, we have to plugin the above values in the above equation, we will get the temperature as,

$T= \frac{PV}{nR}

T = $\frac{0.56  \times 0.56}{0.08205 \times 0.0047}

 = 813 K

So the temperature of the gas sample is 813 K.

Use the reaction equation and bond energies to answer the question.
Arisa [49]

This problem is providing us with the chemical equation for the decomposition of water to hydrogen and oxygen, the involved bond energies and asks for the total energy of the reaction as well as whether it is endothermic or exothermic. At the end, one comes to the conclusion that  it is exothermic because the total energy is -425 kJ.

<h3>Bond energy:</h3>

In chemistry, bond energies are defined as the necessary energy to break a bond between two atoms. In this case, we see that water, H2O has two H-O bonds and hydrogen and oxygen have two H-H and one O=O bonds, respectively.

Thus, we write the following heat equation, which comprises the aforementioned bond energies and the stoichiometric coefficients in the reaction:

\Delta H=2*\Delta H_{H-O}-(2*\Delta H_{H-H}+\Delta H_{O=O})

Hence, we plug in the given bond energies to obtain:

\Delta H=2*467kJ/mol-(2*432kJ/mol+495kJ/mol)\\&#10;\\&#10;\Delta H =-425kJ/mol

Where the negative suggests this is an exothermic reaction as it releases energy (negative enthalpy).
