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>

Which best describes nuclear fission
Firlakuza [10]
<span>Nuclear fission is either a nuclear reaction or radio active decay process in which nucleus (the center) of an atom splits into smaller parts called nuclei. This is an extremely exothermic reaction (i.e a reaction which produces heat) resulting into release of massive amount of energy in the form of heat and sometimes light. The reaction produces much more energy as compared to a similar mass of a conventional fuel, such as Petrol/Kerosene/Petroleum Gas etc. This makes Nuclear fission an extremely dense and at times very destructive source of energy. Some common elements capable of Nuclear fission are Uranium, Plutonium etc. Though in modern days Nuclear Fission are finding application in being a source of energy (such as a Nuclear power plant), but they are also used in destructive format as Nuclear Bombs and it's one of the top most imminent threats to the existence of humanity in future (in the event of a Nuclear war).</span>

What is the solution's freezing point: 15 g of CH4N2O (Molar mass = 60.055 g/mol) in 200. g of H2O? (Kf = 1.86 (°C·kg)/mol)
AURORKA [14]

Ok to answer this question we firsst need to fin the number of mol of Urea (CH4N2O). to do this we simply :

1 mol of urea =15/60.055 = 0.25mol

therefore 200g of water contain 0.25mol

the next step is to determine the malality of our solution in 200g of water, to do this we say:

200 g = 1Kg/1000g = 0.2kg

therefor 0.25mol/0.2Kg = 1.25mol/kg

and from the equation:

we know that i = 1

we are given Kf

b is the molality that we just calculated

therefore;

the solutions freezing point is -2.325°C
