Answer:

1.552 moles

Explanation:

First, we'll begin by writing a balanced equation for the reaction showing how C8H18 is burn in air to produce CO2.

This is illustrated below:

2C8H18 + 25O2 -> 16CO2 + 18H2O

Next, let us calculate the number of mole of C8H18 present in 22.1g of C8H18. This is illustrated below:

Molar Mass of C8H18 = (12x8) + (18x1) = 96 + 18 = 114g/mol

Mass of C8H18 = 22.1g

Mole of C8H18 =..?

Number of mole = Mass /Molar Mass

Mole of C8H18 = 22.1/144

Mole of C8H18 = 0.194 mole

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of C8H18 produced 16 moles of CO2.

Therefore, 0.194 mole of C8H18 will produce = (0.194x16)/2 = 1.552 moles of CO2.

Therefore, 1.552 moles of CO2 are emitted into the atmosphere when 22.1 g C8H18 is burned

Which of the following would shift the following equilibrium system to the right? C2H2(g) + H2O(g) ⇌ CH3CHO(g) Removing H2O(g) f

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

Adding H₂O(g) to the system.

Explanation:

Le Châtelier's principle states that when there is an dynamic equilibrium, and this equilibrium is disturbed by an external factor, the equilibrium will be shifted in the direction that can cancel the effect of the external factor to reattain the equilibrium.

1) Removing H₂O(g) from the system:

This will decrease the concentration of the reactants side, so the reaction will be shifted to the left side to suppress the removal of H₂O(g) from the system.

2) Adding CH₃CHO(g) to the system :

This will increase the concentration of the products side, so the reaction will be shifted to the left side to suppress the adding CH₃CHO(g) to the system.

3) Removing C₂H₂(g) from the system:

This will decrease the concentration of the reactants side, so the reaction will be shifted to the left side to suppress the removal of C₂H₂(g) from the system.

4) Adding H₂O(g) to the system:

This will increase the concentration of the reactants side, so the reaction will be shifted to the right side to suppress the addition of H₂O(g) to the system.
So, it is the right choice.

If a chemical reaction catalyzed by an enzyme is being carried out, and there is a sudden, drastic decrease in temperature, what

LenaWriter [7]

If a chemical reaction catalyzed by an enzyme is being carried out, and there is a sudden, drastic decrease in temperature, the thing that will most likely to happen next is going to be the :

“enzyme activity will decrease, and the reaction will proceed very slowly, or possibly not at all.“

Explanation:

This compliance is required to how enzymes bind to other molecules and cause chemical reactions to occur on those molecules. Lowering the temperature reduces the motion of molecules and atoms, expecting this compliance is reduced or lost. As the temperature decreases, so do enzyme activity. While higher temperatures do increase the activity of enzymes and the rate of reactions,

If 0.138g of cyclohexene (c6h10) was obtained from 0.240g of cyclohexanol (c6h120), what is the percentage yield of cyclohexene?

tino4ka555 [31]

Given in the question- 1 mole of cyclohexanol = > 1 mole of cyclohexene Molar mass 100.16 g/mol moles of cyclohexanol = .240 / 100.16= 0.002396 moles Molar mass 82.143 g/mol moles of cyclohexene formed @100 % yield = 0.002396 Molar mass 82.143 g/mol mass of cyclohexene @ 100 % = .002396 x 82.143 = 0.197g bur we have .138g so % yield = .138 / .197 = 70.0 % Ans- 70 percentage yield of cyclohexene.
