<h3>Balanced equation : 2C₂H₆ (g) + 7O₂ (g) ⟶ 4CO₂ (g) + 6H₂O (ℓ)</h3><h3>Further explanation</h3>

Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons that have single bonds in chains

General formula for alkanes :

$\tt \large{\bold{C_nH_{2n+2}}$

Hydrocarbon combustion reactions (specifically alkanes)

$\large {\box {\bold{C_nH _ (_2_n _ + _ 2_) + \dfrac {3n + 1} {2} O_2 \Rightarrow nCO_2 + (n + 1) H_2O}}}$

So that the burning of ethane with air (oxygen):

$\tt C_2H_6+\dfrac{7}{2}O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O$

2C₂H₆ (g) + 7O₂ (g) ⟶ 4CO₂ (g) + 6H₂O (ℓ)

or we can use mathematical equations to solve equilibrium chemical equations by giving the coefficients for each compound involved in the reaction

C₂H₆ (g) + aO₂ (g) ⟶ bCO₂ (g) + cH₂O (ℓ)

C : left 2, right b ⇒ b=2

H: left 6, right 2c⇒ 2c=6⇒ c= 3

O : left 2a, right 2b+c⇒ 2a=2b+c⇒2a=2.2+3⇒2a=7⇒a=7/2

If 5.4 moles of Fe react with 4.7 moles of O2, what is the maximum amount of Fe2O3 (in moles) that can be produced? What is the

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

2.7 moles of Fe₂O₃ is the maximum amount that can be produced. Iron is the limiting reactant.

Explanation:

The balanced reaction is:

4 Fe + 3 O₂ → 2 Fe₂O₃

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of each compound participate in the reaction:

Fe: 4 moles
O₂: 3 moles
Fe₂O3: 2 moles

The limiting reagent is one that is consumed first in its entirety, determining the amount of product in the reaction. When the limiting reagent is finished, the chemical reaction will stop.

You can use a simple rule of three as follows: if by stoichiometry 4 moles of Fe reacts with 3 moles of O₂, how much moles of Fe will be needed if 4.7 moles of O₂ react?

$moles of Fe =\frac{4. moles of Fe*4.7 moles of O_{2}}{3 moles of O_{2} }$

moles of O₂= 6.27

But 6.27 moles of Fe are not available, 5.4 moles are available. Since you have less moles than you need to react with 4.7 moles of O₂, iron Fe will be the limiting reagent.

So you can use a simple rule of three as follows: if by stoichiometry 4 moles of Fe produce 2 moles of Fe₂O₃, how many moles of Fe₂O₃ will be produced if 5.4 moles of Fe react?

$moles of Fe_{2}O_{3}=\frac{5.4 moles of Fe*2 moles of Fe_{2} O_{3} }{4 moles of Fe}$

moles of Fe₂O₃= 2.7 moles

Then:

<u><em>2.7 moles of Fe₂O₃ is the maximum amount that can be produced. Iron is the limiting reactant.</em></u>

A mixture of 0.2000 mol of CO2, 0.1000 mol of H2 and 0.1600 mol of H2O is placed in a 2.000-L vessel. The following equilibrium

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

a) p(CO2) = 4.103 atm

p(H2) = 2.0515 atm

p(H2O) = 3.2824 atm

b) pCO2 = 3.8754 atm

pH2 = 1.8239 atm

pCO = 0.2276 atm

pH2O = 3.51 atm

c) Kp= 0.113

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Moles of CO2 = 0.2000 mol

Moles of H2 = 0.1000 mol

Moles of H2O = 0.1600 mol

Volume = 2.000 L

Temperature = 500 k

Step 2: The balanced equation

CO2 (g) + H2 (g) → CO (g) + H2O (g)

Step 3: Calculate the initial partial pressures of CO2, H2, and H2O.

pV = nRT

P = (nRT)/V

p(CO2) = (0.2000 mol * 0.08206 * 500)/2.000L

⇒ p(CO2) = 4.103 atm

p(H2) = (0.1000 mol * 0.08206 * 500)/2.000L

⇒ p(H2) = 2.0515 atm

p(H2O) = (0.1600 mol * 0.08206 * 500)/2.000L

⇒ p(H2O) = 3.2824 atm

b. At equilibrium PH2O= 3.51 atm. Calculate the equilibrium partial pressures of CO2, H2, and CO.

Step 1: Calculate the change in pH2O

The change in pH2O = 3.51 - 3.2824 = 0.2276

Step 2: the initial pressures

pCO2 = 4.103 atm

pH2 = 2.0515 atm

pCO = 0 atm

pH2O = 3.2824

Step 3: The partial pressure at the equilibrium

Since there reacts 0.2276 atm for H2O, and the mol ratio is 1:1:1:1

For each gas, there will react 0.2276 atm

pCO2 = 4.103 - 0.2276 = 3.8754 atm

pH2 = 2.0515 - 0.2276 = 1.8239 atm

pCO = 0 + 0.2276 = 0.2276 atm

pH2O = 3.51 atm

c. Calculate Kp for this reaction

Kp = (pCO * pH2O)/ (pCO2 * pH2)

Kp = (0.2276 * 3.51) /( 3.8754 *1.8239)

Kp = 0.113
