<span>0.151 moles Ethanol is C2H6O, and the balanced reaction is C2H6O + 3O2 ==> 2CO2 + 3H2O Now calculate the molar mass of C2H6O. Start with the atomic weights. Atomic weight carbon = 12.0107 Atomic weight hydrogen = 1.00794 Atomic weight oxygen = 15.999 Molar mass C2H6O = 2 * 12.0107 + 6 * 1.00794 + 15.999 = 46.06804 g/mol Molar mass O2 = 2 * 15.999 = 31.998 g/mol Determine how many moles of each reactant is available. Moles C2H6O = 2.32 g / 46.06804 g/mol = 0.050360293 mol Moles O2 = 10.6 g / 31.998 g/mol = 0.331270704 mol Looking at the balanced equation and the number of moles of each reactant, it's obvious that the limiting reactant is C2H6O, and since each mole of C2H6O will produce 3 moles of H2O, then we just need to multiply the number of moles of C2H6O we have by 3, giving 0.050360293 mol * 3 = 0.151080879 moles And of course, round to 3 significant figures, giving 0.151 moles.</span>

If 100. ml of water is added to 25 ml of 5.0 m nacl, the final concentration is __________.
Iteru [2.4K]
We may apply a mass balance here. The total moles of NaCl will remain constant before and after the mixing of the solutions. We have three solutions:
1) 25 ml of 5 M NaCl
2) 100 ml of 0 M NaCl
3) A mixture of these solutions with volume 125 ml and concentration C

The moles of a substance are equal to the product of the concentration and volume. Thus:

25 * 5 + 100 * 0 = 125 * C
C = 1 M

The concentration of the final solution is 1 M.
