Limiting Reactant problem

Chemistry
1 answer:
melomori [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Since ethane is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed. There will remain 0 grams of ethane.

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of C2H6 = 20.1 grams

Mass of O2 = 95.0 grams

Molar mass ethane = 30.07 g/mol

Molar mass O2 = 32.0 g/mol

Molar mass CO2 = 44.01 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

2C2H6 + 7O2 → 4CO2 + 6H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles C2H6

Moles C2H6 = mass C2H6 / molar mass C2H6

Moles C2H6 = 20.1 grams /30.07 g/mol

Moles C2H6 = 0.668 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles O2

Moles O2 = 95.0 grams / 32.0 g/mol

Moles O2 = 2.97 moles

Step 5: Calculate limiting reactant

For 2 moles C2H6 we need 7 moles O2 to produce 4 moles CO2 and 6 moles H2O

C2H6 is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed ( 0.668 moles).

O2 is in excess. There will react 7/2 * 0.668 = 2.338 moles

There will remain 2.97 - 2.338 = 0.632 moles O2

Since ethane is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed. There will remain 0 grams of ethane.

The mass fractions of a mixture of gases are 15 percent nitrogen, 5 percent helium, 60 percent methane, and 20 percent ethane wi
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Number of moles of each gas is

Nitrogen = 15/28 = 0.536 kmoles

Helium = 5/4  = 1.25 kmoles

Methane = 60/16 = 3.75 kmoles

Ethane =    20/30 = 0.67 kmoles

Total number of moles =  0.536 kmoles + 1.25 kmoles + 3.75 kmoles +  0.67 kmoles = 6.206 kmoles

Mole fraction of each gas;

Nitrogen = 0.536 kmoles/6.206 kmoles = 0.086

Helium = 1.25 kmoles/6.206 kmoles = 0.201

Methane = 3.75 kmoles/6.206 kmoles =0.604

Ethane = 0.67 kmoles/6.206 kmoles =0.108

Partial pressure of each gas;

Nitrogen = 0.086 * 1200 kPa = 103.2 kPa

Helium = 0.201 * 1200 kPa = 241.2 kPa

Methane = 0.604 * 1200 kPa = 724.8 kPa

Ethane = 0.108 * 1200 kPa = 129.6 kPa

Apparent specific heat at constant pressure;

Cp = (0.15 * 1.039) + (0.05 * 5.1926) + ( 0.6 * 2.2537) + (0.2 * 1.7662)

Cp = 2.12 KJ Kg-1 K-1

Cv = Cp- Ru/M

Cv= 2.12 - 8.314/16.12 = 1.604 KJ Kg-1 K-1

According to the second law of thermodynamics, heat energy released by an organism is _____. gone forever used by another animal
stealth61 [152]
According to the second law of thermodynamics, heat energy released by an organism is released into the <span>environment and unusable. This energy is also known as entropy which is defined as the tendency of things to be dispersed and spontaneous. This means that entropy is always random and becomes unavailable energy.</span>
