1 mole of alkene CxH2x was fully burnt in oxygen. The products were analysed. 264g of Co2 and 108g of of H20 were produced. Use

the information to balance the equation and work out the identity of CxH2x.
CxH2x+ O2--> CO2+H2O

Answer:

C6H12

Explanation:

Step 1: Find the molar mass of carbon dioxide and water

MH2O = 2(1.008) + 16.00 = 1.802x10^1 g/mol

MCO2 = 12.01 + 2(16.00) = 4.401x10^1 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate the moles of the products

nH2O = 108g / 1.802x10^1 g/mol = 5.99 or about 6

nCO2 = 264g/ 4.401x10^1 g/mol = 5.99 or about 6

Step 3: Enter moles of carbon dioxide and water into the balanced equation

CxH2x + O2 = 6CO2 + 6H2O

Step 4: Balance

We see how there is six carbon dioxide on the right side which means there are six carbons in the equation.

This means x is equal to 6 in our equation.

If you plug the information into the equation you get:

C6H12 + O2 = 6 CO2 + 6 H2O

Now all that's left is to balance the oxygens

We see how there is 18 oxygens on the right side of the equation which means there must be 18 on the left side.

Because we have oxygen gas we divide 18 by 2 which means there are 9 O2's on the left side

Therefore, the balanced equation is C6H12 + 9O2 = 6 CO2 + 6 H2O

Given the problem below, what would the first step be in solving it?
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

First step would be convert to moles

Final Answer: 37.8 g of NaCl

Explanation:

The reaction is:

2Na + Cl₂ → 2NaCI

We convert the mass of each reactant to moles:

18 g . 1mol /23g = 0.783 moles of Na

23g . 1mol / 70.9g = 0.324 moles of chlorine

We use the mole ratio to determine the limiting reactant:

Ratio is 2:1. 2 moles of Na react to 1 mol of chlorine

Then, 0.783 moles of Na, may react to (0.783 . 1)/2 = 0.391 moles.

Excellent!. We need 0.391 moles of Cl₂ and we only have 0.324 moles available. That's why the Cl₂ is our limiting reactant.

We use the mole ratio again, with the product side. (1:2)

1 mol of Cl₂ can produce 2 moles of NaCl

Then, our 0.324 moles of gas, may produce (0.324 . 2)/1 = 0.648 moles

Finally, we convert the moles to grams:

0.648 mol . 58.45g/mol =

How much heat energy in megajoules is neede to convert 7kilograms of ice at negative 9 degrees to water at 0 degrees celsius
den301095 [7]

Heat_1: Get the ice to 0 degrees

Convert 7 kg to grams

7 kg [1000 grams / 1 kg] = 7000 grams

Heat needed to get the the ice from - 9 to 0

deltat = 0 - -9 = 9 degrees

m = 7000 grams

c = 2.1 joules/gram

Heat_1 = m*c*deltat

Heat_1 = 7000 * 2.1 * 9

Heat_1 = 132,300 joules

Heat_2: Melt the ice.

There is no temperature change. The formula is 333 j/gram

Formula: H = mass * constant

H = 7000 g * 333 J / gram

H = 2331000 joules

Heat_3: Total amount of Joules needed.

2331000 + 132300 = 2 463 300 joules

Convert to Megajoules

2 463 300 joules * 1 megajoule / 1000000 = 2.63 megajoules.

In a titration of 0.35 M HCl and 0.35 M NaOH, how much NaOH should be added to 45.0 ml of HCl to completely neutralize the acid?
Bezzdna [24]
It would be the same amount. So, 45 ml of NaOH is required to be added to the 45 ml of HCI to neutralize the acid fully. Here is a brief calculation:

Firstly, here is your formula: M(HCI) x V(HCI) = M(NaOh) x V(NaOH) 
With the values put in: 0.35 x 45 = 0.35 x V(NaOH) 
= 45 ml. 
There is 45 ml of V(NaOH)

Let me know if you need anything else. :)

50.g of NaNO3 was dissolved in 1250 mL of water. what is the molality of the solution? [ Molar mass of NaNO3 = 85 g/mol
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Approximately 0.47\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1} (note that 1\; \rm M = 1 \; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}.)

Explanation:

The molarity of a solution gives the number of moles of solute in each unit volume of the solution. In this \rm NaNO_3 solution in water,

Let n be the number of moles of the solute in the whole solution. Let V represent the volume of that solution. The formula for the molarity c of that solution is:

\displaystyle c = \frac{n}{V}.

In this question, the volume of the solution is known to be 1250\; \rm mL. That's 1.250\; \rm L in standard units. What needs to be found is n, the number of moles of \rm NaNO_3 in that solution.

The molar mass (formula mass) of a compound gives the mass of each mole of units of this compound. For example, the molar mass of \rm NaNO_3 is 85\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1} means that the mass of one mole of

\displaystyle n = \frac{m}{M}.

For this question,

\begin{aligned}&n\left(\mathrm{NaNO_3}\right) \\ &= \frac{m\left(\mathrm{NaNO_3}\right)}{M\left(\mathrm{NaNO_3}\right)}\\&= \frac{50\; \rm g}{85\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} \\& \approx 0.588235\; \rm mol\end{aligned}.

Calculate the molarity of this solution:

\begin{aligned}c &= \frac{n}{V} \\&= \frac{0.588235\; \rm mol}{1.250\; \rm L} \\&\approx 0.47\;\rm mol \cdot L^{-1}\end{aligned}.

Note that 1\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1} (one mole per liter solution) is the same as 1\; \rm M.
