Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{31.8 g CO}_{2}}

Explanation:

We are given the masses of two reactants and asked to determine the mass of the product.

This looks like a limiting reactant problem.

1. Assemble the information

We will need a balanced equation with masses and molar masses, so let’s gather all the information in one place.  

MM:         114.23     32.00      44.01

               2C₈H₁₈ + 25O₂ ⟶ 16CO₂ + 18H₂O

Mass/g:     10.3        69.  

2. Calculate the moles of each reactant

\text{Moles of C$_{8}$H$_{18}$} = \text{10.3 g C$_{8}$H$_{18}$} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol C$_{8}$H$_{18}$}}{\text{114.23 mol C$_{8}$H$_{18}$}} = \text{0.090 17 mol C$_{8}$H$_{18}$}\\\\\text{Moles of O$_{2}$} = \text{69. g O}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol O$_{2}$}}{\text{32.00 g O$_{2}$}} = \text{2.16 mol O$_{2}$}

3. Calculate the moles of CO₂ from each reactant

\textbf{From C$_{8}$H$_{18}$:}\\\text{Moles of CO$_{2}$} =  \text{0.090 17 mol C$_{8}$H$_{18}$} \times \dfrac{\text{16 mol CO$_{2}$}}{\text{2 mol C$_{8}$H$_{18}$}} = \text{0.7214 mol CO}_{2}\\\\\textbf{From O$_{2}$:}\\\text{Moles of CO$_{2}$} =\text{2.16 molO$_{2}$} \times \dfrac{\text{16 mol CO$_{2}$}}{\text{25 mol O$_{2}$}} = \text{1.38 mol CO$_{2}$}\\\\\text{Octane is the limiting reactant because it gives fewer moles of CO$_{2}$.}

4. Calculate the mass of CO₂

\text{ Mass of CO$_{2}$} = \text{0.7214 mol CO$_{2}$} \times \dfrac{\text{44.01 g CO$_{2}$}}{\text{1 mol CO$_{2}$}} = \textbf{31.8 g CO}_\mathbf{{2}}\\\\\text{The reaction produces $\large \boxed{\textbf{31.8 g CO}_\mathbf{{2}}}$}

What is the percent of hydrogen by mass in CH4O?<br> (H:1.00 amu, C: 12.01 amu, O: 16.00 amu)
cricket20 [7]

The mass percent of hydrogen in CH₄O is 12.5%.

<h3>What is the mass percent?</h3>

Mass percent is the mass of the element divided by the mass of the compound or solute.

  • Step 1: Calculate the mass of the compound.

mCH₄O = 1 mC + 4 mH + 1 mO = 1 (12.01 amu) + 4 (1.00 amu) + 1 (16.00 amu) = 32.01 amu

  • Step 2: Calculate the mass of hydrogen in the compound.

mH in mCH₄O = 4 mH = 4 (1.00 amu) = 4.00 amu

  • Step 3: Calculate the mass percent of hydrogen in the compound.

%H = (mH in mCH₄O / mCH₄O) × 100%

%H = 4.00 amu / 32.01 amu × 100% = 12.5%

The mass percent of hydrogen in CH₄O is 12.5%.

What are the two ways to measure the sand in a sand castle?
Sergeu [11.5K]
The two ways to measure the sand in a sand castle are by counting the number of pails of sand used to build the castle and by determining the mass of the sand used in building the castle. The first method makes use of the volume of the pail to determine the amount of sand while the second method is a more quantitative way.<span />
