Ethanol is produced industrially by the reaction of ethylene with water in the presence of an acid catalyst. How many grams of e

thanol are produced from 5.40 mol of ethylene? Assume that excess water is present.

Answer: 249 grams

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation is :

$C_2H_4+H_2O\rightarrow C_2H_5OH$

As water is present in excess , it is called as excess reagent and ethylene is the limiting reagent.

According to stoichiometry:

1 mole of ethylene produces = 1 mole of ethanol

Thus 5.40 mole of ethylene produces = $\frac{1}{1}\times 5.40=5.40$ mole of ethanol

Mass of ethanol = $moles\times {\text {molar mass}}=5.40mol\times 46.07g/mol=249g$

Thus 249 g of ethanol are produced from 5.40 mol of ethylene

patriot [66]

Answer:

Quaternary structure

Explanation:

Hello!

A protein can be characterized by:

Primary structure: it is the linear sequence of amino acids.

Secondary structure: The amino acid sequence is folded by intermolecular interactions.

Tertiary structure: A greater folding of amino acids is observed by intermolecular interactions and disulfide bridges.

Quaternary structure: Two or more chains of folded amino acids join to form a new, more complex structure.

Ammonia will decompose into nitrogen and hydrogen at high temperature. An industrial chemist studying this reaction fills a tank

Masja [62]

Complete Question

Answer:

The concentration equilibrium constant is $K_c = 14.39$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for this decomposition of ammonia is

$2 NH_3$ ↔ $N_2 + 3 H_2$

The initial concentration of ammonia is mathematically represented a

$[NH_3] = \frac{n_1}{V_1} = \frac{29}{75}$

$[NH_3] = 0.387 \ M$

The initial concentration of nitrogen gas is mathematically represented a

$[N_2] = \frac{n_2}{V_2}$

$[N_2] = 0.173 \ M$

So looking at the equation

Initially (Before reaction)

$NH_3 = 0.387 \ M$

$N_2 = 0 \ M$

$H_2 = 0 \ M$

During reaction(this is gotten from the reaction equation )

$NH_3 = -2 x$ (this implies that it losses two moles of concentration )

$N_2 = + x$ (this implies that it gains 1 moles)

$H_2 = +3 x$ (this implies that it gains 3 moles)

Note : x denotes concentration

At equilibrium

$NH_3 = 0.387 -2x$

$N_2 = x$

$H_2 = 3 x$

Now since

$[NH_3] = 0.387 \ M$

$x= 0.387 \ M$

$H_2 = 3 * 0.173$

$H_2 = 0.519 \ M$

$NH_3 = 0.387 -2(0.173)$

$NH_3 = 0.041 \ M$

Now the equilibrium constant is

$K_c = \frac{[N_2][H_2]^3}{[NH_3]^2}$

substituting values

$K_c = \frac{(0.173) (0.519)^3}{(0.041)^2}$

$K_c = 14.39$

Why do farmers spray water over their crops before a frost?

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

When water freezes and turns into ice, it releases latent heat. Then, the ice that builds up on the plant will insulate it from the colder surrounding air temperatures. Because of this, some growers choose to spray their crop with water before the freeze occurs.
