Answer:

1) Write the balanced equation:

2C2H6 + 7O2 ---> 4CO2 + 6H2O

2) Determine limiting reagent:

C2H6 ⇒ 13.8 g / 30.0694 g/mol = 0.45894 mol

O2 ⇒ 45.8 g / 31.9988 g/mol = 1.4313 mol

C2H6 ⇒ 0.45894 / 2 = 0.22947

O2 ⇒ 1.4313 / 7 = 0.20447

Oxygen is limiting.

3) Determine theoretical yield of water:

The oxygen : water molar ratio is 7 : 6

7 is to 6 as 1.4313 mol is to x

x = 1.2268286 mol of water

4) Convert moles of water to grams:

1.2268286 mol times 18.015 g/mol = 22.1 g (to three sig figs)

Solution to (b):

14.2 g / 22.1 g = 64.2%

An element has 8 protons and 8 neutrons in its nucleus and 8 electrons revolving around the nucleus. What is the atomic number a
ExtremeBDS [4]

The mass of an atom comes from the protons and neutrons that are found in the nucleus. The number of protons is the atomic number of an element. To find the number of neutrons, subtract the atomic number from the mass of an atom. The atomic number is 8 and the atomic mass is 16.

How do ethical guidelines make science safer ?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Well, for one thing, they ensure that a scientist can't claim a certain result, which might be biased and thus inaccurate, because he or she is being paid by, say, big business interests. For another, they ensure that medicines or treatments can't be made available to the public without thorough testing, replication, and peer review.

80.0 mL of 0.30 M NaOH and 80.0 mL of 0.30 M HCl are mixed together. What is the approximate pH
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

  • <u><em>Neutral</em></u>

Explanation:

The number of moles of solute is equal to product of the molar concentration (molarity) and the volume (in liters) of solution.

Since the volumes and the molar concentrations of the<em> NaOH </em>and <em>HCl </em>solutions mixed are equal, each one of them contributes the same number of moles of solute.

Since every mol of NaOH produces one mol of OH⁻ ions and every mol of HCl produces one mol of H⁺ ion, the number of moles of OH ⁻ and H⁺ in solution are equal.

Thus, OH⁻ and H⁺ ions will be neutralized by the reaction:

  • OH⁻ (aq) + H⁺ (aq) ⇄ H₂O (l)

Which is strongly shifted to the right and has <em>neutral pH</em>.

Hence, you conclude that the approximate <em>pH of the solution is neutral.</em>
