Answer:

1. The new volume is 14L

2. The volume decreased

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question.

Initial Volume (V1) = 14.2 L

Initial pressure (P1) = 102.5 kPa

Initial temperature (T1) = 33°C

Final pressure (P2) = 100.9 kPa

Final temperature (T2) = 24°C.

Final volume (V2) =?

Step 2:

Conversion of celsius temperature to Kelvin temperature. This is illustrated below:

K = °C + 273

T1 = 33°C = 33°C + 273 = 306K

T2 = 24°C = 24°C + 273 = 297K

Step 3:

Determination of the new volume.

Applying the general gas equation P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2, the new volume can be obtain as follow:

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

102.5 x 14.2/306 = 100.9 x V2/297

Cross multiply to express in linear form as shown below:

306 x 100.9 x V2 = 102.5 x14.2 x297

Divide both side by 306 x 100.9

V2 = (102.5x14.2x297)/(306 x 100.9)

V2 = 14 L

The new volume is 14 L.

Step 4:

Determination of the change in volume. This is illustrated below

Final volume (V2) = 14 L

Initial volume (V1) = 14.2 L

Change in volume (ΔV) =?

Change in volume (ΔV) = Final volume (V2) - Initial volume (V1)

ΔV = V2 - V1

ΔV = 14 - 14.2

ΔV = - 0.2L

Since the change in volume is negative, it means there is a decrease in the volume.

Liquid hexane

maks197457 [2]

Answer: The mass of $H_2O$ produced is 2.52 g

Explanation:

The number of moles is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to its molar mass. The equation used is:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ ......(1)

For hexane:

Given mass of hexane = 1.72 g

Molar mass of hexane = 86.18 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of hexane}=\frac{1.72g}{86.18g/mol}=0.020mol$

For oxygen gas:

Given mass of oxygen gas = 8.0 g

Molar mass of oxygen gas= 32 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of water}=\frac{8.0g}{32g/mol}=0.25mol$

The chemical equation for the combustion of hexane follows:

$2C_6H_{14}+19O_2\rightarrow 12CO_2+14H_2O$

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

If 2 moles of hexane reacts with 19 moles of oxygen gas

So, 0.020 moles of hexane will react with = $\frac{19}{2}\times 0.020=0.19mol$ of oxygen gas

As the given amount of oxygen gas is more than the required amount. Thus, it is present in excess and is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, hexane is considered a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of the product.

By the stoichiometry of the reaction:

If 2 moles of hexane produces 14 moles of $H_2O$

So, 0.020 moles of hexane will produce = $\frac{14}{2}\times 0.020=0.14mol$ of $H_2O$

We know, molar mass of $H_2O$ = 18 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Mass of }H_2O=(0.14mol\times 18g/mol)=2.52g$

Hence, the mass of $H_2O$ produced is 2.52 g

1. Which of the following is a combination reaction?

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter A

Explanation:

A combination reaction is when there are two reactants that gives only one product.

a. 2SO2 + O2—> 2SO3 This is a combination reaction,

2 reactants gives one product.

b. Zn + Cu(NO3)2–>Zn(NO3)2 + Cu This is not a combination reaction,

it's a single replacement reaction.

c. 2H2O2–> 2H2O+O2 This is a decomposition reaction

d. AgNO3 + NaCl → AgCl+NaNO3 THis is a double replacement reaction.
