Answer:

C3H8 + 5O2 → 4H2O + 3CO2.

Explanation:

let the balanced equation be A C3H8 + B O2 → C H2O + D CO2.

eqauting carbon hydrogen and oxygen on both sides

we get 3A = D , 8A = 2C, 2B = C + 2D

solving these three equations we get C = 4A and B = 5A

let  A = 1

we get B = 5 , C = 4, D=3

therefore the equation becomes

C3H8 + 5O2 → 4H2O + 3CO2.

mass must be conserved on both side of the equation so as to make the reaction possible as energy can neither be created nor be destroyed.

During an experiment, 104 grams of calcium carbonate reacted with an excess amount of hydrochloric acid. If the percent yield of
postnew [5]

Answer:

92.4 grams.

Explanation:

  • From the balanced reaction:

<em>CaCO₃ + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + CO₂ + H₂O,</em>

1.0 mole of CaCO₃ reacts with 2.0 moles of HCl to produce 1.0 mole of CaCl₂, 1.0 mole of CO₂, and 1.0 mole of H₂O.

  • We need to calculate the no. of moles of (104 g) of CaCO₃:

<em>no. of moles of CaCO₃ = mass/molar mass</em> = (104 g)/(100.08 g/mol) = <em>1.039 mol.</em>

<u><em>Using cross multiplication:</em></u>

1.0 mole of CaCO₃ produce → 1.0 mole of CaCl₂.

∴ 1.039 mole of CaCO₃ produce → 1.039 mole of CaCl₂.

∴ The amount of CaCl₂ produced = no. of moles x molar mass = (1.039 mol)(110.98 g/mol) = 114.3 g.

∵ percent yield of the reaction = [(actual yield)/(theoretical yield)] x 100.

Percent yield of the reaction = 80.15%, theoretical yield = 115.3 g.

<em>∴ actual yield = [(percent yield of the reaction)(theoretical yield)]/100 </em>= [(80.15%)/(115.3 g)] / 100 = <em>92.42 g ≅ 92.4 g.</em>

H2SO4 + 2 NaOH →
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

110.25grams

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation is as follows:

H2SO4 + 2NaOH → Na2SO4 + 2H20

Based on the balanced chemical equation of the reaction given above, 1 mole of sulphuric acid (H2SO4) is required to react with 2 moles of sodium hydroxide (NaOH).

Hence, if 1 mol of H2SO4 is needed to react with 2 moles of NaOH

Then, 2.25mol of NaOH will be required to react with;

= 2.25/2

= 1.125mol of H2SO4

Using the formula, mole = mass/molar mass, we can convert the molar value of H2SO4 to its mass value.

Molar mass of H2SO4 = 1(2) + 32 + 16(4)

= 2 + 32 + 64

= 34 + 64

= 98g/mol

Therefore, mole = mass/molar mass

1.125 = mass/98

mass = 98 × 1.125

mass = 110.25grams of H2SO4

A solution contains 15 grams of salt per litter of solution. How many grams of salt are in 3.3 litters of solution?​
Verizon [17]

49.5g

Explanation:

Mass of salt = 15g

Volume of solution = 1L

Volume of given solution = 3.3L

Unknown:

Mass of salt in the solution = ?

Solution:

Since we have been given the concentration of the salt in the solution, we can use it to solve the problem.

Concentration; 15g/L

Given;

    In 1L of the solution we have 15g of salt,

In    3.3L of the solution we will have 3.3 x 15 = 49.5g

The salt is the solute and it represents the dissolved substances.
