How many moles of ethane (C2H6) would be needed to react with 62.3 grams of oxygen gas?

1 answer:

5 0

Note that it says oxygen "gas"
So you need the atomic mass of oxygen gas

Look at your periodic table, you'll see 15.9994 under oxygen
Oxygen gas has a formula of O2 therefore,
(15.9994) times 2= Oxygen gas atomic mass=31.9988

Mol= Mass/Atomic Mass
=62.3 g/ 31.9988 g/mol = 1.95 mol

now look at the ratio of C2H6 and O2, notice there is an invisible number beside each of them, at that "invisible number" is =1

1 C2H6 + 1 O2 -> products

this means that for 1 mol of C2H6, 1 mol of O2 has to react with it

Thus as we have 1.95 moles of O2, we need 1.95 moles of C2H6

Answer:

The answer to your question is: V = 6.93 L

Explanation:

Data

N₂ = 5.6 g

Volume of NH₃ = ?

14 g of N ---------------- 1 mol

5.6 g ----------------------- x

x = (5.6 x 1) / 14 = 0.4 mol of N

Reaction

N₂ + 3H₂ ⇒ 2NH₃

1 mol of N₂ ---------------- 2 moles of NH₃

0.4 mol of N₂ -------------- x

x = (0.4 x 2) / 1

x = 0.8 mol of NH₃

Formula

PV = nRT

P = 5200 torr = 6.84 atm

V = ?

n = 0.8

R = 0.082 atm L/ mol °K

T = 450°C = 723°K

Substitution

V = (0.8)(0.082)(723) / 6.84

V = 6.93 L

How many grams are in 3.14 moles of PI₃?

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 1290 \ g \ PI_3}}$

Explanation:

We want to convert from moles to grams, so we must use the molar mass.

<h3>1. Molar Mass</h3>

The molar mass is the mass of 1 mole of a substance. It is the same as the atomic masses on the Periodic Table, but the units are grams per mole (g/mol) instead of atomic mass units (amu).

We are given the compound PI₃ or phosphorus triiodide. Look up the molar masses of the individual elements.

Phosphorus (P): 30.973762 g/mol
Iodine (I): 126.9045 g/mol

Note that there is a subscript of 3 after the I in the formula. This means there are 3 moles of iodine in 1 mole of the compound PI₃. We should multiply iodine's molar mass by 3, then add phosphorus's molar mass.
