What is the theoretical yield of fluorenone if you oxidize 175 mg of fluorene?

Chemistry
1 answer:
My name is Ann [436]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

  • 602 mg of CO₂ and 94.8 mg of H₂O

Explanation:

The<em> yield</em> is measured by the amount of each product produced by the reaction.

The chemical formula of <em>fluorene</em> is C₁₃H₁₀, and its molar mass is 166.223 g/mol.

The <em>oxidation</em>, also know as combustion, of this hydrocarbon is represented by the following balanced chemical equation:

        2C_{13}H_{10}+31O_2\rightarrow 26CO_2+10H_2O

To calculate the yield follow these steps:

<u>1. Mole ratio</u>

          2molC_{13}H_{10}:31molO_2:26molCO_2:10molH_2O

<u />

<u>2. Convert 175mg of fluorene to number of moles</u>

  • 175mg/times 1g/1,000mg=0.175g

  • Number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

  • \text{number of moles}=0.175g/166.223g/mol=0.0010528mol

<u>3. Set a proportion for each product of the reaction</u>

a) <u>For CO₂</u>

i) number of moles

         2molC_{10}H_{13}/26molCO_2=0.0010528molC_{10}H{13}/x

x=0.0010528molC_{10}H_{13}\times 26molCO_2/2molC_{10}H_{13}=0.013686molCO_2

ii) mass in grams

The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01g/mol

  • mass = number of moles × molar mass
  • mass = 0.013686 moles × 44.01 g/mol = 0.602 g = 602mg

b) <u>For H₂O</u>

i) number of moles

0.0010528molC_{10}H_{13}\times10molH_2O/2molC_{10}H_{13}=0.00526molH_2O

ii) mass in grams

The molar mass of H₂O is 18.015g/mol

  • mass = number of moles × molar mass
  • mass = 0.00526 moles × 18.015 g/mol = 0.0948mg = 94.8 mg

What is the lower concentration limit (vol%) at which a mixture of ethanol in air can explode?
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Lower explosive limit (LEL) of ethanol = 3.3%

Explanation:

In the case of alcohol, ethanol presents certain fire hazards. Its momentary flash point is 55ºF (12.9ºC), while the momentary flash point of gasoline is -45ºF (-42.8ºC), and the E85 mixture ranges between -20ºF and -4ºF (between -28 , 9ºC and -20ºC), and has a wider range of flammability limits than gasoline. For emergency response teams, this implies that during a release of the typical ethanol / gasoline mixture, the fuel can be expected to behave like gasoline: It is heavier than air - as we mentioned earlier - and can produce vapors and form flammable mixtures in the air, under most environmental conditions.

General properties and comparison with other inflambles products:

Flash point momentary Gasoline = -45 ° F

<u>Ethanol</u> = 55 ° F

E 85 = between -20º and -4º F

<u>Flammability limits </u>

Lower explosive limit (LEL) of ethanol = 3.3%

Upper Explosive Limit (UEL) = 19%

Lower explosive limit (LEL) of the mixture E 85 = 1.4%

Upper Explosive Limit (UEL) 85 = 19%

Lower explosive limit (LEL) of gasoline = 1.4%

Upper Explosive Limit (UEL) = 7.6%

They have a wider range than gasoline

How many oxygen atoms are in 3.70 g of quartz?
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

The formula of Quartz is SiO2. So, 1 mole of Quartz will have 2 moles of oxygen atoms, i.e. 2 x 6.022 x 10^23 atoms of oxygen. The molar mass of quartz is 60 g per mol. So, 60 g quartz means 1 mole quartz.

A sample of a compound contains 41.33 g of carbon and 8.67 g of hydrogen. The molar mass of the
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

C6H15

Explanation:

First, we calculate the empirical formula as follows:

C = 41.33 g

H = 8.67 g

We convert each mass value to mole by dividing each element by its molar mass (C = 12g/mol, H = 1g/mol)

C = 41.33g ÷ 12g/mol = 3.44mol

H = 8.67g ÷ 1g/mol = 8.67mol

Next, we divide each mole value by the smallest (3.44mol)

C = 3.44mol ÷ 3.44mol = 1

H = 8.67mol ÷ 3.44mol = 2.52

We multiply this ratio by 2 to get a simple whole number ratio

C = 1 × 2 = 2

H = 2.52 × 2 = 5.04

Based on this, the whole number ratio of C and H is 2:5, hence, the empirical formula is C2H5.

The molecular mass of the compound is given as 87.18 g/mol, hence, the molecular formula is calculated as follows:

(C2H5)n = 87.18

[12(2) + 1(5)]n = 87.18

[24 + 5]n = 87.18

(29)n = 87.18

n = 87.18 ÷ 29

n = 3.006

Approximately to whole number, n = 3

Hence, the molecular formula of the compound is [C2H5]3

= C6H15
