Answer:

There will remain 8.06 grams of ethane

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of ethane = 9.32 grams

Mass of oxygen = 12.0 grams

Molar mass ethane = 30.07 g/mol

Molar mass oxygen = 32.00 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

2 C2H6 + 7 O2 → 4 CO2 + 6 H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles ethane

Moles ethane = mass ethane / molar mass ethane

Moles ethane = 9.32 grams / 30.07 g/mol

Moles ethane = 0.3099 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles oxygen

Moles oxygen = 12.0 grams / 32.0 g/mol

Moles oxygen = 0.375 moles

Step 5: Calculate the limiting reactant

For 2 moles ethane we need 7 moles O2 to produce 4 moles CO2 and 6 moles H2O

O2 is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed ( 0.375 moles)

Ethane is in excess. There will react 2/7 * 0.375 = 0.107 moles

There will remain 0.375 - 0.107 = 0.268 moles

Step 6: Calculate mass ethane

Mass ethane = moles ethane * molar mass ethane

Mass ethane = 0.268 moles * 30.07 g/mol

Mass ethane = 8.06 grams

There will remain 8.06 grams of ethane

What type of reaction is Pb(NO3)2 (aq) + 2KI (aq) →PbI2 + 2KNO3 (aq)

kifflom [539]

Answer:

Precipitation Reactions

They contain two aqueous reactants, one aqueous product, and one solid product. In this reaction, two soluble products, Pb(NO3)2 and KI, combine to form one soluble product, KNO3, and one insoluble product, PbI2. This is a precipitation reaction, and PbI2 is the precipitate.

Air containing 0.04% carbon dioxide is pumped into a room whose volume is 6000 ft3. The air is pumped in at a rate of 2000 ft3/m

koban [17]

Here is the full question:

Air containing 0.04% carbon dioxide is pumped into a room whose volume is 6000 ft3. The air is pumped in at a rate of 2000 ft3/min, and the circulated air is then pumped out at the same rate. If there is an initial concentration of 0.2% carbon dioxide, determine the subsequent amount in the room at any time.

What is the concentration at 10 minutes? (Round your answer to three decimal places.

Answer:

0.046 %

Explanation:

The rate-in;

$R_{in}$ $= \frac{0.04}{100}*2000$

$R_{in}$ = 0.8

The rate-out

$R_{out}$ = $\frac{A}{6000}*2000$

$R_{out}$ = $\frac{A}{3}$

We can say that:

$\frac{dA}{dt}=$ $0.8-\frac{A}{3}$

where;

A(0)= 0.2% × 6000

A(0)= 0.002 × 6000

A(0)= 12

$\frac{dA}{dt} +\frac{A}{3} =0.8$

Integration of the above linear equation =

$e^{\int\limits \frac {1}{3}dt } =$ $e^{\frac{1}{3}t$

so we have:

$e^{\frac{1}{3}t}\frac{dA}{dt}} +\frac{1}{3}e^{\frac{1}{3}t}A$ $= 0.8e^{\frac{1}{3}t$

$\frac{d}{dt}[e^{\frac{1}{3}t}A]$ $= 0.8e^{\frac{1}{3}t$

$Ae^{\frac{1}{3}t} =2.4e\frac{1}{3}t +C$

∴ $A(t) = 2.4 +Ce^{-\frac{1}{3}t$

Since A(0) = 12

Then;

$12 =2.4 + Ce^{-\frac{1}{3}}(0)$

$C= 12-2.4$

$C =9.6$

Hence;

$A(t) = 2.4 +9.6e^{-\frac{t}{3}}$

$A(0) = 2.4 +9.6e^{-\frac{10}{3}}$

$A(t) = 2.74$

∴ the concentration at 10 minutes is ;

= $\frac{2.74}{6000}*100$ %

= 0.0456667 %

= 0.046% to three decimal places

Water has a higher boiling point than expected because

Nadya [2.5K]

Evaporation occurs when water molecules on the surface gain enough energy to enter the atmosphere. However, stronger intermolecular forces between water molecules cause them to be strongly attracted to each other and to tend to stay in the liquid phase. When the temperature is raised (when heat is applied), more molecules gain the energy needed to escape these intermolecular forces and go into the vapor phase.
Therefore the best answer is D.

what criteria are likely to dictate certain pairs of elements to undergo ionic bonding and others covalent bonding?

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

If one element is a metal and the other element is a non metal

Explanation:

Ionic bonds are formed between metals and non metals. The nonmetal atom receives electron(s) from a metal atom to form an ionic substance. This means that ionic substances are basically an ion pair.

Covalent bonds are mostly formed between two nonmetals. These elements share electrons with each other in order to form the compound.

What happens to energy when methane increases?

Zanzabum

Answer:

How does methane gas affect the environment?

If methane leaks into the air before being used — from a leaky pipe, for instance — it absorbs the sun's heat, warming the atmosphere. For this reason, it's considered a greenhouse gas, like carbon dioxide.
