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

When is work considered to be work?<br> (this is about force,work and energy)
n200080 [17]

Answer:

In summary, work is done when a force acts upon an object to cause a displacement. Three quantities must be known in order to calculate the amount of work. Those three quantities are force, displacement and the angle between the force and the displacement.

How does air above a heated surface move?
anzhelika [568]
<span> When air is warmed up, its molecules move faster and faster and as a result they move further from each other. They still have the same mass, but they now occupy a larger volume. This means that its density is smaller.
The opposite when air is cooled off. The molecules slow down, get closer together, occupy a smaller volume and therefore its density is bigger.

When air is warmed up, it goes up. Once it's up there, is cools off and goes back down. Near the heated surface the air gets warmed up again, goes up, cools down, goes back down, and again and again.
that is called convection cells

How many moles of O2 are produced when 0.500mol of KO2 reacts in this fashion?
Shtirlitz [24]
I think you means the KO2 reacts with H2O. The equation of this reaction is 4KO2+2H2O->4KOH +3O2. The ratio of mole number of O2 and KO2 is 3:4. So the mole number of O2 produced is 0.500/4*3=0.375 mol.
