A major component of gasoline is octane (C8H18). When liquid octane is burned in the air it reacts with oxygen gas to produce ca

rbon dioxide gas and water vapor.
Calculate the moles of carbon dioxide produced by the reaction of 0.085 mol of oxygen. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if necessary, and round it to the correct number of significant digits.

Answer:

0.027 moles of carbon dioxide produced by the reaction of 0.085 mol of oxygen.

Explanation:

2C_8H_{18}+50O_2\rightarrow 16CO_2+18H_2O

Moles of oxygen gas = 0.085 mol

According to reaction, 50 moles of oxygen gives 16 moles of carbon dioxide gas, then 0.085 moles of oxygen gas will give:

\frac{16}{50}\times 0.085 mol=0.0272 mol\approx 0.027 mol of carbon dioxide

0.027 moles of carbon dioxide produced by the reaction of 0.085 mol of oxygen.

A chemist used 6.5 moles of water in this reaction. How many grams of water were used?
denpristay [2]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 120 \ or \ 117 \ grams \ H_2O \ depending \ on \ significant \ figures }}

Explanation:

We want to convert from moles of water to grams of water.

First, find the molar mass of water (H₂O) Look on the Periodic Table for the masses of hydrogen and oxygen.

  • Hydrogen (H): 1.008 g/mol
  • Oxygen (O): 15.999 g/mol

Next, add up the number of each element in water. The subscript of 2 comes after the H, so there are 2 moles of hydrogen.

  • 2 Hydrogen: (1.008 g/mol*2) = 2.016 g/mol

Finally, add the molar mass of 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen.

  • 2.016 g/mol (2 Hydrogen) + 15.999 g/mol (1 oxygen)= 18.015 g/mol

Next, find the grams in 6.5 moles.

Use the molar mass we just found as a ratio.

molar \ mass \ ratio: \frac{18.015 \ g \ H_2O}{1 \ mol \ H_2O}

We want to find the grams in 6.5 moles. We can multiply the ratio above by 6.5

6.5 \ mol \ H_2O * \frac{18.015 \ g \ H_2O}{1 \ mol \ H_2O}

Multiply. Note that the moles of H₂O will cancel each other out.

6.5 * \frac{18.015 \ g \ H_2O}{1}

6.5 * {18.015 \ g \ H_2O}

117.0975 \ g \ H_2O

If we want to round to the technically correct significant figures, it would be 2 sig figs. The original measurement, 6.5, has 2 (6 and 5).

\approx 120 \ g \ H_2O

The cycle repeats when the carbon stored in the atmosphere as carbon dioxide gas is taken in.
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Order of the cycle:

Step -1>>>>Step -4 >>>> Step -3 >>>>> step -2.

Explanation:

<u>Step -1:</u>

Carbon dioxide is taken in by plants during photosynthesis.

<u>Step -4;</u>

The animal eats a plant and uses its carbohydrates for energy.

<u>Step - 3</u>

The animal releases the carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere during respiration.

<u>Step -2</u>

The cycle repeats when the carbon stored in the atmosphere as carbon dioxide gas is taken in.

Therefore, order of the cycle is Step -1>>>>Step -4 >>>> Step -3 >>>>> step -2.

How many moles of h2 can be formed if a 3.25g sample of Mg reacts with excess HCl
kogti [31]

Answer:

0.134 moles of H₂ can be formed if a 3.25g sample of Mg reacts with excess HCl

Explanation:

The balanced reaction is:

Mg + 2 HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂

By stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles react:

  • Mg: 1 mole
  • HCl: 2 moles
  • MgCl₂: 1 mole
  • H₂: 1 mole

Being:

  • Mg: 24. 31 g/mole
  • H: 1 g/mole
  • Cl: 35.45 g/mole

the molar mass of the compounds participating in the reaction is:

  • Mg: 24.31 g/mole
  • HCl: 1 g/mole + 35.45 g/mole= 36.45 g/mole
  • MgCl₂: 24.31 g/mole + 2*35.45 g/mole= 95.21 g/mole
  • H₂: 2*1 g/mole= 2 g/mole

Then, by stoichiometry of the reaction, the following quantities of mass participate in the reaction:

  • Mg: 1 mole* 24.31 g/mole= 24.31 g
  • HCl: 2 moles* 36.45 g/mole= 72.9 g
  • MgCl₂: 1 mole* 95.21 g/mole= 95.21 g
  • H₂: 1 mole* 2 g/mole= 2 g

Then you can apply the following rule of three: if by stoichiometry 24.31 grams of Mg form 1 mole of H₂, 3.25 grams of Mg how many moles of H₂ will they form?

moles of H_{2} =\frac{3.25 grams of Mg*1 mole of H_{2} }{24.31 grams of Mg}

moles of H₂= 0.134

<u><em>0.134 moles of H₂ can be formed if a 3.25g sample of Mg reacts with excess HCl</em></u>
