The process in which an organic acid and an alcohol react to form an ester and water is known as esterification. Ethyl butanoate

(C3H7COOC2H5) an ester is formed when the alcohol ethanol (C2H5OH) and butanoic acid (C3H7COOH) are heated in the presence of sulfuric acid.C2H5OH(l) + C3H7COOH(l) C3H7COOC2H5(l) + H2O(l)Determine the mass of ethyl butanoate produced if 6.00 mol of ethanol is used.

Answer:

697 g

Explanation:

Ethanol (C₂H₅OH) and butanoic acid (C₃H₇COOH) react to form ethyl butanoate (C₃H₇COOC₂H₅) and water (H₂O).

C₂H₅OH + C₃H₇COOH → C₃H₇COOC₂H₅ + H₂O

The molar ratio of C₂H₅OH to C₃H₇COOC₂H₅ is 1:1. The moles of C₃H₇COOC₂H₅ produced from 6.00 moles of C₂H₅OH are:

6.00 mol C₂H₅OH × (1 mol C₃H₇COOC₂H₅/1 mol C₂H₅OH) = 6.00 mol C₃H₇COOC₂H₅

The molar mass of C₃H₇COOC₂H₅ is 116.16 g/mol. The mass corresponding to 6.00 mol is:

6.00 mol × (116.16 g/mol) = 697 g

How many cobalt atoms are in 345 g of cobalt
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf About \ 3.53 \ *10^{24}atoms \ Co}}

Explanation:

To convert from grams to atoms:

  1. Convert grams to moles
  2. Convert moles to grams

1. <u>Convert grams to moles</u>

First, find the molar mass of cobalt using the Periodic Table of Elements.

  • Cobalt (Co): 58.93319 g/mol

Next, use this mass as a ratio or fraction.

\frac{58.93319 \ g\ Co}{1 \ mol \ Co}

Multiply the mass of the given sample (345 grams) by this ratio.

345 \ g \ Co *\frac{58.93319 \ g\ Co}{1 \ mol \ Co}

Flip the fraction so the grams of Cobalt will cancel each other out when multiplying.

345 \ g \ Co *\frac{1 \ mol \ Co}{58.93319 \ g\ Co}

345 \  *\frac{1 \ mol \ Co}{58.93319 }

\frac{345 \ mol \ Co}{58.93319 } =5.854086636 \ mol \ Co

2. <u>Convert moles to atoms</u>

Use Avogadro's Number, which tells us the number of units (in this case atoms) in 1 mole.

  • 6.022 *10^{23} \ atoms/mol

Use this number as a ratio or fraction.

\frac{6.022 * 10^{23} \ atoms \ Co}{1 \ mol \ Co}}

Multiply this ratio by the number of moles we found.

5.854086636 \ mol \ Co*\frac{6.022 * 10^{23 }\ atoms \ Co}{1 \ mol \ Co}}

The moles of Cobalt will cancel.

5.854086636 \ *\frac{6.022 * 10^{23 }\ atoms \ Co}{1 }}

5.854086636 \ *{6.022 * 10^{23 }\ atoms \ Co}

3.52533097*10^{24} \ atoms \ Co

3.<u>Round</u>

The original measurement of 345 has 3 significant figures (3, 4, and 5). We must round to 3 sig figs, which is the hundredth place for this measurement.

3.52533097*10^{24} \ atoms \ Co

The 5 in the thousandth place tells us to round the 2 to a 3.

3.53 \ *10^{24}atoms \ Co

There are about <u>3.53*10²⁴ atoms of cobalt in 345 grams.</u>

How is a compound formed differently than a mixture, and how can each be broken down into their original substances?
saveliy_v [14]

Answer: Pure substances are further broken down into elements and compounds. Mixtures are physically combined structures that can be separated into their original components. A mixture is composed of different types of atoms or molecules that are not chemically bonded.

When a hydrochloric acid solution is combined with a potassium hydroxide solution, an acid-base reaction occurs Write a balanced
Svetach [21]

Answer:

HCl(aq) + KOH(aq) ⇒ KCl(aq) + H₂O(l)

Explanation:

Hydrochloric acid is an acid because it releases H⁺ in an aqueous solution.

Potassium hydroxide is a base because it releases OH⁻ in an aqueous solution.

When an acid reacts with a base they form a salt and water. This is a neutralization reaction. The neutralization reaction between hydrochloric acid and potassium hydroxide is:

HCl(aq) + KOH(aq) ⇒ KCl(aq) + H₂O(l)
