<u>Answer:</u> The maximum amount of water that could be produced by the chemical reaction is 20.16 grams

<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)

  • <u>For butane:</u>

Given mass of butane = 13 g

Molar mass of butane = 58.12 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of butane}=\frac{13g}{58.12g/mol}=0.224mol

  • <u>For oxygen gas:</u>

Given mass of oxygen gas = 70.9 g

Molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of oxygen gas}=\frac{70.9g}{32g/mol}=2.216mol

The chemical equation for the reaction of butane and oxygen gas follows:

2C_4H_{10}+13O_2\rightarrow 8CO_2+10H_2O

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of butane reacts with 13 moles of oxygen gas

So, 0.224 moles of butane will react with = \frac{13}{2}\times 0.224=1.456mol of oxygen gas

As, given amount of oxygen gas is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, butane is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of butane produces 10 moles of water

So, 0.224 moles of butane will produce = \frac{10}{2}\times 0.224=1.12moles of water

Now, calculating the mass of water from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Moles of water = 1.12 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

1.12mol=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{18g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of water}=(1.12mol\times 18g/mol)=20.16g

Hence, the maximum amount of water that could be produced by the chemical reaction is 20.16 grams

What is the concentration of a solution containing 1.11 g sugar (sucrose, C12H22O11, MW = 342.3 g/mol, d = 1.587 g/cm3) in 432 m
djyliett [7]

Answer:

0.0075 M

0.0060 m

Explanation:

Our strategy here is to use the definition of molarity and molality to solve this question.

The molarity is the number of moles of solute, sucrose in this case, per liter of solution.

The molality is the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.

So the molarity of the  solution is

M = moles of solute/ V solution

As we see we need the volume of solution since we are only given the volume of solvent, but this will be easy to compute since we have the density of  sucrose.

So determine the moles of sucrose , and the volume of solution:

Moles sucrose = 1.11 g/342.3 g/mol = 3.24 x 10⁻³ M

Volume of solution = Vol Sucrose + Vol glycerine

d = m/V ⇒ Vsucrose = m / d = 1.11 g/ 1.587 g/cm³ = 0.70 cm³

Vol solution = 432 mL + 0.70 mL = 432.7 mL  (1cm³  = 1 mL)

Vol solution = 432.7 mL x 1 L / 1000 mL = 0.4327 L

⇒ M = 3.2 x 10⁻³  mol / 0.4327 L = 0.0075  M

For the molarity what we need is to first calculate the kilograms of glycerine from the given density:

d = m/v ⇒ m = d x v = 1.261 g/cm³ x  432 cm³ = 544.75 g

Converting to Kg:

544.75 g x 1 Kg/ 1000 g = 0.544 kg

Now the molality is

m = mol sucrose/ kg solvent = 3.24 x 10⁻³ mol / 0.544 Kg = 0.0060 m

Note: In the calculation for  volume of solution we could have approximated it to that of just glycerine, but since the density of sucrose was given we calculated the total volume of solution to be more rigorous.

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

                    1.8 moles of O₂

Explanation:

                     The balance chemical equation for said double replacement (photosynthesis) reaction is as follow;

                           6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂

According to balance chemical equation,

                 6 moles of O₂ are produced by  =  6 moles of CO₂

So,

                1.8 moles of O₂ will be produced by  =  X moles of O₂

Solving for X,

                     X =  1.8 mol × 6 mol / 6 mol

                     X =  1.8 moles of O₂

Stoichiometric problems in which moles are given and moles or other reactant or product asked are the simplest problems. One should only write the balanced chemical equation and perform above method to find the required moles.

7. Jasmine wants to prevent getting burned by accidently touching a hot metal pipe, What would be the worst
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

A) Glass

Explanation:

Glass is a conductor, so it allows heat to go through it (Ex. Touching a pie pan that came right out of the oven)

Rubber is an insulator, so heat has a hard time passing through (Ex. Using a rubber grip on a cast iron pan.

Cloth is also an insulator, so heat has a hard time passing through (Ex. Using a pot holder to prevent the counter from getting scarred)

Wood is also an insulator, so heat has a hard time passing through (Ex. Bedding for a rabbit hutch)

Hope this helps!!
