D - oxygen
It is the 8th element in the periodic table. 8 electrons, 8 neutrons when it is in its neutral state

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Oxygen is the 8th element in the periodic table. This means that oxygen has 8 protons and 8 electrons. In order to get the number of neutrons you take the atomic weight in this case 15.9999~16 and you subtract it by the number of protons (16-8).

A gas mixture with 4 mol of Ar, x moles of Ne, and y moles

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

a) $\Delta G_{mixing}=\frac{R*T}{12}*[4*ln (1/3) +x*ln (x/12) +(8-x)*ln ((8-x)/12)]$

b) $x=4$

c) $\Delta G_{max}=-2721.9 J/mol$

Explanation:

Gas mixture:

$n_{Ar}= 4 mol$

$n_{Ne}= x mol$

$n_{Xe}= y mol$

$n_{tot}= n_{Ar} + n_{Ne} + n_{Xe}=3*n_{Ar}$

$n_{Ne} + n_{Xe}=2*n_{Ar}$

$x + y=8 mol$

$y=8 mol- x$

Mol fractions:

$x_{Ar}=\frac{4 mol}{12 mol}=1/3$

$x_{Ne}=\frac{x mol}{12 mol}=x/12$

$x_{Xe}=\frac{8 - x mol}{12 mol}=(8-x)/12$

Expression of $\Delta G_{mixing}$

$\Delta G_{mixing}=R*T*\sum_{i]*x_i*ln (x_i)$

$\Delta G_{mixing}=R*T*[1/3*ln (1/3) +x/12*ln (x/12) +(8-x)/12*ln ((8-x)/12)]$

$\Delta G_{mixing}=\frac{R*T}{12}*[4*ln (1/3) +x*ln (x/12) +(8-x)*ln ((8-x)/12)]$

Expression of $\Delta G_{max}$

$\frac{d \Delta G_{mixing}}{dx}=0$

$\frac{d \Delta G_{mixing}}{dx}=\frac{R*T}{12}*[ln (x/12)+12-ln ((8-x)/12)-12]$

$0=\frac{R*T}{12}*[ln (x/12)-ln ((8-x)/12)$

$0=[ln (x/12)-ln ((8-x)/12)$

$ln (x/12)=ln ((8-x)/12)$

$x=(8-x)$

$x=4$

$\Delta G_{max}=\frac{8.314*298}{12}*[4*ln (1/3) +4*ln (4/12) +(8-4)*ln ((8-4)/12)]$

$\Delta G_{max}=\frac{8.314*298}{12}*[4*ln (1/3) +4*ln (1/3) +(4)*ln (1/3)]$

$\Delta G_{max}=\frac{8.314*298}{12}*[12*ln (1/3)]$

$\Delta G_{max}=-2721.9 J/mol$

Ethyl butyrate, CH3CH2CH2CO2CH2CH3, is an artificial fruit flavor commonly used in the food industry for such flavors as orange

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

A. 10.0 grams of ethyl butyrate would be synthesized.

B. 57.5% was the percent yield.

C. 7.80 grams of ethyl butyrate would be produced from 7.60 g of butanoic acid.

Explanation:

$CH_3CH_2CH_2CO_2H(l)+CH_2CH_3OH(l)+H^+\rightarrow CH_3CH_2CH_2CO_2CH_2CH_3(l)+H_2O(l)$

A

Moles of butanoic acid = $\frac{7.60 g}{88 g/mol}=0.08636 mol$

According to reaction ,1 mole of butanoic acid gives 1 mol of ethyl butyrate,then 0.08636 mol of butanoic acid will give :

$\frac{1}{1}\times 0.08636 mol=0.08636 mol$ of ethyl butyrate

Mass of 0.08636 moles of ethyl butyrate =

0.08636 mol × 116 g/mol = 10.0 g

Theoretical yield = 10.0 g

Experimental yield = ?

Percentage yield of the reaction = 100%

$Yield\%=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

$100\%=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{10.0 g}\times 100$

Experimental yield = 10.0 g

10.0 grams of ethyl butyrate would be synthesized.

B

Theoretical yield of ethyl butyrate = 10.0 g

Experimental yield ethyl butyrate = 5.75 g

Percentage yield of the reaction = ?

$Yield\%=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

$=\frac{5.75 g}{10.0 g}\times 100=57.5\%$

57.5% was the percent yield.

C

Moles of butanoic acid = $\frac{7.60 g}{88 g/mol}=0.08636 mol$

According to reaction ,1 mole of butanoic acid gives 1 mol of ethyl butyrate,then 0.08636 mol of butanoic acid will give :

$\frac{1}{1}\times 0.08636 mol=0.08636 mol$ of ethyl butyrate

Mass of 0.08636 moles of ethyl butyrate =

0.08636 mol × 116 g/mol = 10.0 g

Theoretical yield = 10.0 g

Experimental yield = ?

Percentage yield of the reaction = 78.0%

$Yield\%=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

$78.0\%=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{10.0 g}\times 100$

Experimental yield = 7.80 g

7.80 grams of ethyl butyrate would be produced from 7.60 g of butanoic acid.

In which way does a balanced chemical equation demonstrate the conservation of matter?

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

A. It shows the same number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation.

Explanation:

A balanced chemical equation demonstrates the conservation of matter by showing the number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation or expression.

According to the law of conservation of matter, matter is neither created nor destroyed in the course of a chemical reaction but atoms are rearranged.

Based on this premise, the number of atoms or moles on both sides of the expression must be equal.
If there are 3 atoms of carbon on one side, the product must also reflect 3 atoms of carbon.
