How many moles of carbon dioxide gas should be produced when 10.0 g of C2H6 are combusted at STP?
Finger [1]

Answer:

                    0.665 moles of CO₂

Explanation:

                     The balance chemical equation for the combustion of Ethane is as follow:

                            2 C₂H₆ + 7 O₂ → 4 CO₂ + 6 H₂O

Step 1: <u>Calculate moles of C₂H₆ as;</u>

                              Moles  =  Mass  /  M.Mass

Putting values,

                              Moles  =  10.0 g / 30.07 g/mol

                              Moles  =  0.3325 moles

Step 2: <u>Calculate Moles of CO₂ as;</u>

According to balance chemical equation,

                    2 moles of C₂H₆ produced  =  4 moles of CO₂

So,

             0.3325 moles of C₂H₆ will produce  =  X moles of CO₂

Solving for X,

                      X  =  0.3325 mol × 4 mol ÷ 2 mol

                      X = 0.665 moles of CO₂

  • Bases have a bitter taste.
  • Bases feel slippery.
  • Bases conduct electricity when dissolved in water.
  • Bases change litmus paper from red to blue in colour.
  • They react with acids to form a salt and water, this process is called neutralisation.
  • The pH of bases ranges from 8-14.
  • Turns phenolphthalein pink.

Why is it dangerous to have electric appliances near you when you are taking a bath?
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Because water conducts electricity, so if an electrical current were to meet the water while you're in there taking a bath, you would essentially be surrounded by a huge conductor.
