When carbon is burned in air, it reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. When 14.4 g of carbon were burned in the presence of

53.9 g of oxygen, 15.5 g of oxygen remained unreacted. What mass of carbon dioxide was produced?

When carbon reacts with oxygen it forms CO2. This can depicted by the below equation.

C + O2→ CO2

It has been mentioned that when 14.4 g of C reacts with 53.9 g of O2, then 15.5 g of O2 remains unreacted. <u>This indicates that Carbon is the limiting reagent and hence the amount of CO2 produced is based on the amount of Carbon burnt.</u>

C + O2→ CO2

In the above equation , 1 mole of carbon reacts with 1 mole of O2 to produce 1 mole of CO2.

In this case 14.4 g of Carbon reacts with 53.9 of O2 to produce "x"g of CO2.

<u>No of moles = mass of the substance÷molar mass of the substance</u>

No of moles of carbon = 14.4 /12= 1.2 moles

No of moles of O2 = Mass of reacted O2/Molar mass of O2.

No of moles of O2 = (Total mass of O2 burned - Mass of unreacted O2)/32

No of moles of O2 = (53.9-15.5) ÷ 32 = 1.2 moles.

Hence as already discussed 1 mole of Carbon reacts with 1 mole of O2 to produce 1 mole of CO2. In this case 1.2 moles of carbon reacts with 1.2 moles of O2 to produce 1.2 moles of CO2.

Moles of carbon dioxide = Mass of CO2 produced /Molar mass of CO2

Mass of CO2 produced(x) = Moles of CO2 ×Molar mass of CO2

Mass of CO2 produced(x) = 1.2 x 44 = 52.8 g

<u>Thus 52.8 g of CO2 is produced.</u>

At standard temperature and pressure, what volume does 0.5 mol of CO2 occupyAt standard temperature and pressure, what volume do
Zigmanuir [339]
<span>C. 11.2 L There are several different ways to solve this problem. You can look up the density of CO2 at STP and work from there with the molar mass of CO2, but the easiest is to assume that CO2 is an ideal gas and use the ideal gas properties. The key property is that a mole of an idea gas occupies 22.413962 liters. And since you have 0.5 moles, the gas you have will occupy half the volume which is 22.413962 * 0.5 = 11.20698 liters. And of the available choices, option "C. 11.2 L" is the closest match. Note: The figure of 22.413962 l/mole is using the pre 1982 definition of STP which is a temperature of 273.15 K and a pressure of 1 atmosphere (1.01325 x 10^5 pascals). Since 1982, the definition of STP has changed to a temperature of 273.15 K and a pressure of exactly 10^5 pascals. Because of this lower pressure, one mole of an ideal gas will have the higher volume of 22.710947 liters instead of the older value of 22.413962 liters.</span>

Consider the change given below. At constant pressure, is work done by the system on the surroundings? By the surroundings on th
alexira [117]

Answer : At constant pressure work is done by the system on the surroundings.

Explanation :

Work done : Any quantity that flows across the boundary of a system during a change in its state and it completely convertible into the lifting of a weight in the surroundings.

Formula for work done is:

w=-p_{ext}dV

Sign convention :

  • When volume expand then system work that means work done by the system.

w = (-ve)

  • When volume compress then surrounding work that means work done on the system.

w = (+ve)

The given reaction is:

Hg(l)\rightarrow Hg(g)

This is a evaporation process in which phase changes from liquid state to gaseous state at constant temperature.

At constant pressure, work depends only on volume.

In evaporation process, the volume expand that means work is done by the system on the surroundings.

Sign convention is, w = (-ve)

Thus, at constant pressure work is done by the system on the surroundings.

Why we need gravity explain in your own words​
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Gravity is very important for us,animals and plants. We could not survive Earth without it. The sun's gravity keeps Earth in orbit around it, keeping us a good distance away from it (the sun). Gravity is holding down our atmosphere and the air we need to breathe along with it.
