Answer:

All liquid glow products depend on a chemical process known as CHEMILUMINESCENCE to produce their light. Chemiluminesence is a chemical reaction that causes a release of energy in the form of light. To produce this light the electrons in the chemicals become excited and rise to a higher energy level.

To utilise this process glowsticks contain two liquids; hydrogen peroxide and tert-butyl alcohol. When mixed together it is these liquids that create the glow. Fluorescent dyes are also used in the alcohol to alter the colour of the light emitted.

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of decane produced is $1.743\times 10^2g$

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ ......(1)

Mass of hydrogen gas = 2.45 g

Molar mass of hydrogen gas = 2 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1:, we get:

$\text{Moles of }H_2=\frac{2.45g}{2g/mol}=1.225mol$

The chemical equation for the hydrogenation of decene follows:

$C_{10}H_{20}(l)+H_2(g)\rightarrow C_{10}H_{22}(s)$

As, decene is present in excess. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, hydrogen gas is a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of products.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of hydrogen gas produces 1 mole of decane.

So, 1.225 moles of hydrogen gas will produce = $\frac{1}{1}\times 1.225=1.225mol$ of decane

Now, calculating the mass of decane by using equation 1, we get:

Moles of decane = 1.225 mol

Molar mass of decane = 142.30 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$1.225mol=\frac{\text{Mass of decane}}{142.30g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of carbon dioxide}=(1.225mol\times 142.30g/mol)=174.3g=1.743\times 10^2g$

Hence, the mass of decane produced is $1.743\times 10^2g$
