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

Which statement best describes the reaction pathway graph for an exothermic reaction but not an endothermic reaction? It has a h
ruslelena [56]
Answer: "The reactants are higher in energy than the products"

Explanation:

The exothermic reactions are characterized by the release of heat to the surroundings. The reactants lose heat that is delivered to the surroundings which implies that the products will be lower in energy than the reactants.

The hills that you can see in a reaction energy diagram are not related with the final change of energy. The hills are an indication of the activation energy needed to start the reaction, but they do not measure the change of energy from the products to the reactants.

The enthalpy that is a state variable that identifies the content of heat. Then the change of enthalpy for the exothermic reactions is negative, meaning that the energy of the products is lower than the energy of the reactants.

What force is causing The object to eventually stop moving
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

Hey buddy, here is your answer. Hope it helps you.

Explanation:

The force stopping the object's motion might be an obvious one - the ground! Friction is a force that slows or stops motion. Friction is the resistance to motion created by two objects rubbing against each other (the sled and the snow, for instance). Even air causes friction.

If you performed this experiment using mgcl2 as the solute would the molar concentration of mgcl2 that is isotonic to the potato
Mama L [17]
The answer to this question would be: lower molar concentration

Osmotic pressure is influenced by the number of ions and the concentration of the molecule in the solution. In NaCl, the molecule will split into 1 Na+ ion and 1 Cl- ion which results in 2 ions per compound. In MgCl2, the compound will split into 1 Mg2+ ion and 2 Cl- ion which results in 3 ions. Therefore, the osmotic pressure of MgCl2 will be 3/2 times of NaCl.
MgCl2 will need less concentration to achieve same osmotic pressure as NaCl. If the MgCl2 solution is isotonic with NaCl, the concentration of MgCl2 would be lower than NaCl

What is the volume of 300. g of mercury vapor at 822K and 0.900 atm?
Dominik [7]

Answer:

112.2L

Explanation:

Volume (V) = 300g

Temperature (T) = 822K

Pressure (P) = 0.9atm

using the ideal gas equation;

PV = nRT\\\\ V = \frac{nRT}{P}

Molar gas constant (R) = 0.0821L.atm/mol.K

Mole (n) = \frac{Mass (m)}{Molar mass (M)}                Molar mass of Mercury  = 200.59g/mol

n = \frac{300g}{200.59 g/mol} \\

   = 1.496mol

Now, the volume can be calculated;

V = \frac{1.496mol* 0.0821L.atm/mol.K*822K}{0.9atm}

∴Volume of mercury = 112.2L
