Question

I know how to solve it with D=M/V and M1V1 however the answer isn’t correct. Help me please

Answer 1

Answer:

23.28 g of O2.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the mass of hexane. This can obtain as follow:

Volume of hexane = 10 mL

Density of hexane = 0.66 g/mL

Mass of hexane =?

Density = mass /volume

0.66 = mass of hexane /10

Cross multiply

Mass of hexane = 0.66 x 10

Mass of hexane = 6.6 g

Next, we shall write the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

2C6H14 + 19O2 —> 12CO2 + 14H2O

Next, we shall determine the masses of C6H14 and O2 that reacted from the balanced equation. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of C6H14 = (12.01x6) + (1.008 x 14)

= 72.06 + 14.112

= 86.172 g/mol

Mass of C6H14 from the balanced equation = 2 x 86.172 = 172.344 g

Molar mass of O2 = 16x2 = 32 g/mol

Mass of O2 from the balanced equation = 19 x 32 = 608 g

From the balanced equation above,

172.344 g of C6H14 reacted with 608 g of O2.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of O2 needed to react with 10 mL (i.e 6.6 g) of hexane, C6H14. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

172.344 g of C6H14 reacted with 608 g of O2.

Therefore, 6.6 g of C6H14 will react with = (6.6 x 608)/172.344 = 23.28 g of O2.

Therefore, 23.28 g of O2 is needed for the reaction.
