Answer:

Mass = 23.232 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of C₈H₁₈ = 7.58 g

Mass of CO₂ produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2C₈H₁₈ + 25O₂      →     16CO₂ + 18H₂O

Number of moles of octane:

Number of  moles =  mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 7.58 g/ 114.23 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.066 mol

Now we will compare the moles of CO₂ with octane from balance chemical equation.

                  C₈H₁₈            :           CO₂

                       2              :              16

                 0.066             :           16/2×0.066 = 0.528

Mass of CO₂ produced:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.528 mol × 44 g/mol

Mass = 23.232 g

Acetylene, C2H2, can be converted to ethane, C2H6, by a process known as hydrogenation. The reaction is C2H2(g) + 2H2(g) ⇌ C2H6(
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

-255.4 kJ

Explanation:

The free energy of a reversible reaction can be calculated by:

ΔG = (ΔG° + RTlnQ)*n

Where R is the gas constant (8.314x10⁻³ kJ/mol.K), T is the temperature in K, n is the number of moles of the products (n =1), and Q is the reaction quotient, which is calculated based on the multiplication of partial pressures by the partial pressure of the products elevated by their coefficient divide by the multiplication of the partial pressure of the reactants elevated by their coefficients.

C₂H₂(g) + 2H₂(g) ⇄ C₂H₆(g)

Q = pC₂H₆/[pC₂H₂ * (pH₂)²]

Q = 0.261/[8.58*(3.06)²]

Q = 3.2487x10⁻³

ΔG = -241.2 + 8.314x10⁻³x298*ln(3.2487x10⁻³)

ΔG = -255.4 kJ

mafiozo [28]
For this problem, the solution is exhibiting some colligative properties since the solute in the solution interferes with some of the properties of the solvent. We use equation for the boiling point elevation for this problem. We do as follows:
<span>
ΔT(boiling point)  = (Kb)mi
</span>ΔT(boiling point)  = (0.512)(1.3/2.0)(2)
ΔT(boiling point)  = 0.67 degrees Celsius
<span>
T(boiling point) = 100 + 0.67 = 100.67 degrees Celsius</span>

Chemical reactions are only able to occur in one direction. Chemical reactions are only able to occur in one direction. True Fal
blagie [28]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

While chemical reactions can proceed in the forward direction , they can in fact also proceed in the backward direction too. The direction they would proceed depends majorly on the state of chemical equilibrium at that particular time for that particular chemical reaction.

It should be known that when a chemical reaction proceeds in the forward way, more products are formed and the reactants are used up. If however, the chemical reaction proceed in the backward way, more reactants are formed and the products are used up.

A practical example is in the case of an exothermic reaction. This is one in which heat is released to the surroundings as a result of the reactants being at a higer energy level compared to the product. Now, depending on the prevailing equilibrium constraint, the reaction could proceed forward or backward.

If for example, the temperature is decreased, this is a constraint being applied to the equilibrium state. The chemical reaction would take a shift and will favor the forward reaction and more of the products will be formed. And also of the temperature is increased, it is the backward reaction that is favored
