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!

The Heat of vaporization for NH3= 1360 J/g. Calculate the quantity of heat energy (in kJ)

gavmur [86]

Answer:

$Q=210.8kJ$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the heat of vaporization is related with the energy required by a substance to undergo the phase transition from liquid to gas, we can compute such amount of energy as shown below:

$Q=m\Delta H_{vap}$

In such a way, since the enthalpy of vaporization is given as well as the mass, we compute the energy as shown below:

$Q=155g*1360J/g\\\\Q=210.8kJ$

Best regards!

Electronic configurations and charges of the ions in lithium fluoride?

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

The electronic configuration of a lithium atom is 2.1 and that of a fluorine atom is 2.7

an atom of lithium donates an electron to an atom of fluorine to form an ionic compound. The transfer of the electron gives the lithium ion a net charge of +1, and the fluorine ion a net charge of -1.

How many different isomers can be derived from ethylene if two hydrogen atoms are replaced by a fl uorine atom and a chlorine at

svp [43]

Answer:
THREE different isomers can be derived from ethylene if two hydrogen atoms are replaced by a fl uorine atom and a chlorine atom.

Explanation:
When two Hydrogen atoms in ethylene (C₂H₄) are replaced with Fluorine and Chlorine atom then the new molecular formula is C₂H₂FCl.
Compounds having same Molecular formula but different structural formula are called as Isomers.
First Isomer of C₂H₂FCl is 1-chloro-1-fluoroethene, in which F and Cl at geminal position (attached to same Carbon atom).
Other two Isomers are Geometrical Isomers of 1-chloro-2-fluoroethene, in which F and Cl at different carbon atom and having different position is space. The one in which both F and Cl at opposite side forms (trans)-1-chloro-2-fluoroethene and the one in which both are in same side is called as (cis)-1-chloro-2-fluoroethene.

What is the isotope formed during radioactive decay

vodka [1.7K]

Answer: Except for gamma decay or internal conversion from a nuclear excited state, the decay is a nuclear transmutation resulting in a daughter containing a different number of protons or neutrons (or both). When the number of protons changes, an atom of a different chemical element is created.
