Answer:

m_{H_2O}=30.9gH_2O

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the combustion of hexane is given by:

C_6H_{14}+\frac{19}{2} O_2\rightarrow 6CO_2+7H_2O

The next step is to compute the reacting moles of hexane:

n_{C_6H_{14}}=60gC_6H_{14}*\frac{1molC_6H_{14}}{86gC_6H_{14}} =0.698molC_6H_{14}

Then, the moles of hexane consumed by 74.5 g of oxygen using the molar ratio in the chemical reaction (1:19/2):

n_{C_6H_{14}}=74.5gO_2*\frac{1molO_2}{32gO_2} *\frac{1molC_6H_{14}}{19/2molO_2} =0.245molC_6H_{14}

Therefore, as less moles of hexane are consumed by oxygen, it is in excess, so we compute the mass of water produced by the consumed 0.245 moles of hexane:

m_{H_2O}=0.245molC_6H_{14}*\frac{7molH_2O}{1molC_6H_{14}}*\frac{18gH_2O}{1molH_2O} \\\\m_{H_2O}=30.9gH_2O

Best regards.

Answer:

43.45g of water would be produced from the reaction.

Explanation:

Liquid became reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water.

This type of reaction is known as combustion reaction between alkanes.

Equation of reaction.

Assuming the reaction occurs in an unlimited supply of oxygen,

2C₆H₁₄ + 19O₂ → 12CO₂ + 14H₂O

From the above equation of reaction,

2 moles of C₆H₁₄ reacts with 19 moles of O₂ to produce 14 moles of H₂O.

To find the theoretical mass,

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Molar mass of C₆H₁₄ = 86g/mol

Molar mass of O₂ = 16g/mol × 2 = 32g/mol

Molar mass of H₂O = 18g/mol

Mass of H₂O = number of moles × molar mass

Mass of H₂O = 14 × 18 = 252g

Mass of C₆H₁₄ = number of moles × molar mass

Mass of C₆H₁₄ = 2 × 86 = 172g

Mass of O₂ = number of moles × molar mass

Mass of O₂ = 19 × 32 = 608g

From the equation of reaction,

172g of C₆H₁₄ reacts with 608g of O₂ to produce 252g of H₂O

(172 + 608)g of reactants produce 252g of H₂O

780g of reactants produce 252g of H₂O

(60 + 75.5)g of reactants will produce a x g of H₂O

780g of reactants = 252g of H₂O

134.5g of reactants = x g of H₂O

X = (134.5 × 252) / 780

X = 43.45g of H₂O

Therefore, 43.45g of H₂O would be produced from 60g of hexane and 74.5g of oxygen

1. 1/16 x 1 000 000= 62500
2. Each half life is 5750 years long
3. The end of a half life is found by dividing the beginning of the half life by 2.
4. The number 62500 is between the 7th and the 8th half lives (refer to the number of 14C atoms on my table)
5. The 7th half life is 40250 years, and the 8th half life is 46000 years.
6. Therefore, your estimate would be a number roughly in the middle of 40250 and 46000 (for example: 43000)
Hope this helps :)

Why do certain substances dissolve in water and others don't? *
ipn [44]
<h2>Answer: <u><em>Hope this helps</em></u></h2>

Explanation:

<h3><u><em>Why do some substances dissolve in water and others don't? It has to do with the structure of the water molecule. Oxygen has a greater attraction for electrons, so the shared electrons (bonding electrons) spend more time close to oxygen then to either of the hydrogens.</em></u></h3>
