A mixture of C3H8 and C2H2 has a mass of 2.8 g. It is burned in excess O2 to form a mixture of water and carbon dioxide that con

tains 1.6 times as many moles of CO2 as of water.
Find the mass of C2H2 in the original mixture. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Answer:

The mass of C2H2 in the mixture is 0.56gram using the ratio of carbon in the products contributed by the C2H2.

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is: C3H8 + 2C2H2 + 10O2 >> 7CO2 + 6H2O.

From the reaction, we know that the oxygen was in excess, this will make the Carbon sources the limiting agents in the reaction. The details of the reaction showed that the ratio of water to the carbon dioxide is 1.6:1. This also means that the expected mole of carbon dioxide will be 7/1.6, which is 3.75moles.

The individual balanced equation of reaction is:

C3H3 +5O2 >> 3CO2 + 4H2O

and 2C2H2 + 5O2 >>4CO2 + 2H2O. From this one can quickly tell that the propane is in sufficient supply as it produces 3 moles of CO2 out of the expected 3.75 moles obtained above. Leaving 0.75moles of CO2 to the ethyne.

The mass of ethyne in the mixture will therefore be: 0.75/3.75 X 2.8 = 0.56g.

Which of the following is true for balancing equations?
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

D) There must be equal number of atoms of each elements on both sides of equation.

Explanation:

The balancing equation must have equal number of atoms of each elements on both sides of equation.

The balance equation shoes mass is conserved thus followed the law of conservation of mas.

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

Explanation:

This law was given by french chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

For example:

In given photosynthesis reaction:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

there are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass.

What amount of heat absorbs 50 g of steel (ce = 0.115 cal / g. ° C) that

does its temperature vary by 25 ° C?

Answer:

143.75cal

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of steel  = 50g

Specific heat capacity of the steel  = 0.115cal/g°C

Temperature  = 25°C

Unknown:

Amount of heat = ?

Solution:

The amount of heat to cause this temperature change is dependent on mass and specific heat capacity of the substance.

  Amount of heat  = m C (ΔT)

m is the mass

c is the specific heat capacity

ΔT is the temperature change

 Now insert the parameters and solve;

  Amount of heat  = 50 x 0.115 x 25

  Amount of heat  = 143.75cal

Given the reaction: 4A1 + 302 - 2A1,O, How many grams of Al will be
dlinn [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 27 g of Al

Explanation:

Data

mass of Al = ?

moles of Al₂O₃ = 0.5

The correct formula for the product is Al₂O₃

Balanced chemical reaction

               4Al + 3O₂   ⇒   2Al₂O₃

Process

1.- Calculate the molar mass of the product

Al₂O₃ = (27 x 2) + (16 x 3)

         = 54 + 48

         = 102 g

2.- Convert the moles of Al₂O₃ to grams

               102 g ---------------- 1 mol

                 x       ----------------  0.5 moles

                 x = (0.5 x 102) / 1

                 x = 51 g of Al₂O₃

3.- Use proportions to calculate the mass of Al

                4(27) g of Al --------------- 2(102) g of Al₂O₃

                     x               --------------- 51 g

                        x = (51 x 4(27)) / 2(102)

                        x = 5508 / 204

                        x = 27 g of Al
