Answer:

m_{CO_2}=1.6gCO_2

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, hexane's combustion is stood for the following chemical reaction:

C_6H_{14}+\frac{19}{2} O_2-->6CO_2+7H_2O

Now, we need to identify the limiting reactant for which we compute both hexane's and oxygen's moles as shown below:

n_{C_6H_{14}}=1.72g\frac{1molC_6H_{14}}{86gC_6H_{14}}=0.02molC_6H_{14}\\n_{O_2}=1.8g\frac{1molO_2}{32gO_2}=0.056molO_2

Afterwards, we compute the moles of hexane that completely react with 0.056 moles of oxygen via the stoichiometry:

n_{C_6H_{14}}^{reacting}=0.056molO_2\frac{1molC_6H_{14}}{\frac{19}{2}molO_2}=0.0059molC_6H_{14}

Now, since 0.02 moles of hexane are available but just 0.0059 moles react, the hexane is in excess and the oxygen is the limiting reactant, thus, the maximum mass of carbon dioxide is computed as shown below with two significant figures (due to the significant figures of the oxygen's initial mass) by using the moles of oxygen as the limiting reactant:

m_{CO_2}=0.056molO_2*\frac{6molCO_2}{\frac{19}{2}molO_2}*\frac{44gCO_2}{1molCO_2} \\m_{CO_2}=1.6gCO_2

Best regards.

Hexane formula is C₆H₁₄
combustion reaction with O₂ is as follows;
C₆H₁₄ + 19/2O₂ ----> 6CO₂ + 7H₂O
to get whole number coefficients lets multiply by 2
2 C₆H₁₄ + 19 O₂ ----> 12 CO₂ + 14 H₂O
the stoichiometry of C₆H₁₄ to O₂ is 2 :19
2 moles of C₆H₁₄ reacts with 19 mol of O₂
both of these 2 reactants could be fully used up if the amounts are present in the correct stoichiometry or one reactant could be in excess and other could be the limiting reactant. Limiting reactant is when the reactant is fully consumed, products formed depends on this reactant.
amount of C₆H₁₄ moles - 1.72 g / 86.18 g/mol = 0.0200 mol
amount of O₂ moles - 1.8 g / 32 g/mol = 0.056 mol
if hexane is limiting reactant 
2:19 ratio , number of O₂ moles - 0.0200/2 *19 = 0.19
but 0.19 moles of O₂ aren't present, this means that O₂ is limiting reactant

stoichiometry of O₂ to CO₂ is 19:12
if 19 moles of O₂ is consumed - 12 mol of CO₂ produced 
then 1 mol of O₂ - gives 12/19 mol of CO₂
therefore 0.056 of O₂ - gives 12/19 * 0.056 mol 
                                  = 0.035 mol of CO₂
then mass of CO₂ = 0.035 mol * 12 g/mol 
                             = 0.42 g

Which is an acceptable Lewis structure for a diatomic nitrogen molecule?
timofeeve [1]
Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons (ve-), so a diatomic nitrogen molecule will have twice as many, 10 valence electrons. Then, just draw electrons in pairs of 2 until you both get ride of all of them (reach 0) and you fill every atom (eight electrons each). It can be drawn either way, the important thing is that there are 3 electron pairs shared between the two atoms.

The enthalpy change : -196.2 kJ/mol

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

The change in enthalpy in the formation of 1 mole of the elements is called enthalpy of formation  

The enthalpy of formation measured in standard conditions (25 ° C, 1 atm) is called the standard enthalpy of formation (ΔHf °)  

(ΔH) can be positive (endothermic = requires heat) or negative (exothermic = releasing heat)  

The value of ° H ° can be calculated from the change in enthalpy of standard formation:  

∆H ° rxn = ∑n ∆Hf ° (product) - ∑n ∆Hf ° (reactants)  

Reaction

2 H₂O₂(l)-→ 2 H₂O(l) + O₂(g)

∆H ° rxn = 2. ∆Hf ° H₂O - 2. ∆Hf °H₂O₂

\tt \Delta H_{rxn}=2.(-285.8)-2.(-187.8)\\\\\Delta H_{rxn}=-571.6+375.4=-196.2~kJ/mol\rightarrow \Delta Hf~O_2=0
