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

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

1) ΔrH = 2mol·ΔfH(NO) - (ΔfH(O₂) + ΔfH(N₂)).
ΔrH = 2 mol · 90.3 kJ/mol - (0 kJ/mol + 0 kJ/mol).
ΔrH = 180.6 kJ.
2) ΔS = 2mol·ΔS(NO) - (ΔS(O₂) + ΔS(N₂)).
ΔS = 2mol · 210.65 J/mol·K - (1mol · 205 J/mol·K + 1 mol · 191.5 J/K·mol).
ΔS = 24.8 J/K.
3) ΔG = ΔH - TΔS.
55°C: ΔG = 180.6 kJ - 328.15 K · 24.8 J/K = 172.46 kJ.
2570°C: ΔG = 180.6 kJ - 2843.15 K · 24.8 J/K = 110.09 kJ.
3610°C: ΔG = 180.6 kJ - 3883.15 K · 24.8 J/K = 84.29 kJ.

Under what conditions do real gases behave most ideally.
katrin [286]

Answer:

Under high temperatures and low pressure, gases behave the most ideal.

Explanation:

Low pressure reduces the effect of the finite size of real particles by increasing the volume around each particle, and a high temperature gives enough kinetic energy to the particles to better overcome the attractions that exist between real particles. (Prevents sticking.)

In summary, real gases behave more like ideal gases when they are far away from a phase boundary, (condensation or freezing).
