Answer:

The answer to your question is Argon

Explanation:

Electron configuration given               1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶

To find the element whose electron configuration is given, we can do it by two methods.

Number 1. Sum all the exponents the result will give you the atomic number of the element.

                      2 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 6 = 18

The element with an atomic number of 18 is Argon.

Number 2. Look at the last terms of the electronic configuration

                      3s² 3p⁶

Number three indicates that this element is in the third period in the periodic table.

Sum the exponents    2 + 6 = 8

Number 8 indicates that this element is the number 8 of that period without considering the transition elements.

The element with these characteristics is Argon.

Using the following equation, 2C2H6 +7O2 -->4CO2 +6H2O, if 2.5g C2H6 react with 170g of O2, how many grams of water will be p
kirill [66]

The mass of water (H₂O) that would be produced is 4.5 g

<h3>Stoichiometry </h3>

From the question, we are to determine the mass of water that would be produced.

From the given balanced chemical equation

2C₂H₆ +7O₂ → 4CO₂ +6H₂O

This means

2 moles of C₂H₆ reacts with 7 moles of O₂ to produce 4 moles of CO₂ and 6 moles of H₂O

Now, we will determine the number of moles of each reactant present

  • For Ethane (C₂H₆)

Mass = 2.5 g

Molar mass = 30.07 g

Using the formula,

Number\ of\ moles = \frac{Mass}{Molar\ mass}

Number of moles of C₂H₆ present = \frac{2.5}{30.07}

Number of moles of C₂H₆ present = 0.08314 mole

  • For Oxygen (O₂)

Mass = 170g

Molar mass = 31.999 g/mol

Number of moles of O₂ present = \frac{170}{31.999}

Number of moles of O₂ present = 5.3127 moles

Since

2 moles of C₂H₆ reacts with 7 moles of O₂

Then,

0.08314 mole of C₂H₆ will react with \frac{7 \times 0.08314 }{2}

 \frac{7 \times 0.08314 }{2} = 0.58198 mole

Therefore,

0.08314 mole of C₂H₆ reacts with 0.58198 mole of O₂ to produce 3 × 0.08314 moles of H₂O

3 × 0.08314 = 0.24942 mole

Thus, the number of moles of water (H₂O) produced is 0.24942 mole

Now, for the mass of water that would be produced,

Using the formula,

Mass = Number of moles × Molar mass

Molar mass of water = 18.015 g/mol

Then,

Mass of water that would be produced = 0.24942 × 18.015

Mass of water that would be produced = 4.4933 g

Mass of water that would be produced ≅ 4.5 g

Hence, the mass of water (H₂O) that would be produced is 4.5 g
