To answer your question I will use dimensional analysis, which is used by cancelling out the units. I will also use the balanced equation provided as a conversion factor.

A) First start out with the 0.300 mol of C6H12O6...
0.300 mol C6H12O6 * (2 mol CO2 / 1 mol C6H12O6) = 0.600 mol CO2

*The significant figures (sig figs) at still three, the 2 is a conversion counting number and does not count*

B) First change 2.00 g of C2H5OH to moles of C2H5OH...
The molecular mass of C2H5OH is...
2(12.01 g/mol) + 5(1.008 g/mol) + 16.00 g/mol + 1.008 g/mol = 46.07 g/mol
This can be used as a conversion factor to change grams to moles. 
2.00 g C2H5OH * (1 mol C2H5OH / 46.07 g C2H5OH) = 0.0434 mol C2H5OH

Second, you can change the moles of C2H5OH to moles of C6H12O6..
0.0434 mol C2H5OH * (1 mol C6H12O6 / 2 mol C6H12O6) = 0.0217 mol C6H12O6

Third, change moles of C6H12O6 to grams...
MM = 6(12.01 g/mol) + 12(1.008 g/mol) + 6(16.00 g/mol) = 180.16 g/mol
0.0217 mol C6H12O6 * (180.16 g C6H12O6 / 1 mol C6H12O6) = 3.91 g C6H12O6

C) Now I am going to put it all into one long dimensional analysis problem.
MM of CO2 = 44.01 g/mol
MM of C2H5OH = 46.07 g/mol

2.00 g C2H5OH * (1 mol C2H5OH / 46.07 g C2H5OH) * (2 mol CO2 / 2 mol C2H5OH) * (44.01 g CO2 / 1 mol CO2) = 1.91 g CO2

I hope this helped and I am sorry that I talked to much, I just didn't want to miss anything!

How many moles are in 281 g of Ca(OH)2?
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

3.79 moles

Explanation:

To convert moles to gams of a substance we need to find the molar mass of the substance. For Ca(OH)₂ th molar mass is:

1Ca = 40.08g/mol

2O = 2*16g/mol = 32g/mol

2H = 2*1.01g/mol = 2.02g/mol

The molar mass is:

40.08g/mol + 32g/mol + 2.02g/mol = <em>74.1g/mol</em>

<em />

And moles are:

281g * (1mol / 74.1g) =

<h3>3.79 moles</h3>

What is thermal expansion?
Charra [1.4K]
Thermal expansion<span> is the tendency of matter to change in shape, area, and volume in response to a change in temperature, through heat transfer. Temperature is a monotonic function of the average molecular kinetic energy of a substance. When a substance is heated, the kinetic energy of its molecules increases.</span>
