Answer:

atomic mass of X is 48.0 amu

Explanation:

Let y be the atomic mass of X

Molar mass of O_2 is = 2×16 = 32 g / mol

X + O2 -----> XO_2

According to the equation ,

y g of X reacts with 32 g of O_2

24 g of X reacts with Z g of O_2

Z = ( 32×24) / y

But given that 24.0 g of X exactly reacts with 16.0 g of O_2

So Z = 16.0

⇒ (32×24) / y = 16.0

⇒ y = (32×24) / 16

y= 48.0

So atomic mass of X is 48.0 amu

If oxygen has a molar mass of 16.0 g/mole, carbon has a molar mass of 12.0 g/mole and hydrogen has a molar mass of 1.01 g/mole,
Stolb23 [73]
The number of mole of ethanol present in the beaker is 0.217 mole

Description of mole
The mole of a substance is related to it's mass and molar mass according to the following equation:
Mole = mass / molar mass

How to determine the mole of C₂H₅OH
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Mass of C₂H₅OH = 10 g
Molar mass of C₂H₅OH = (12×2) + (1.01×5) + 16 + 1.01 = 46.06 g/mol
Mole of C₂H₅OH =?

Mole = mass / molar mass
Mole of C₂H₅OH = 10 / 46.06
Mole of C₂H₅OH = 0.217 mole
