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

Ipatiy [6.2K]
Considering mass percentages, stars in the vicinity of the sun contain only 2% other elements by mass. Other than the main components, hydrogen and helium, stars have some heavier elements such as carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and iron. These elements are found near or in the star's core and are ejected into space when the star dies.
