Since we are told that O2 is the excess reactant, we need only to focus on C2H6, which will be our limiting reactant. Convert the mass of C2H6 to moles by dividing the mass by the molar mass of C2H6:

(5 g C2H6)(30.069 g/mol) = 0.1663 mol C2H6

Since C2H6 is the limiting reactant, its quantity will determine how much of each product is formed. We are asked to find the number of grams (the mass) of H2O produced. The molar ratio between H2O and C2H6 per the balanced equation is 6:2. That is, for every 6 moles of H2O that is produced, 2 moles of C2H6 is used up (intuitively, then, the number of moles of H2O produced should be greater than the number of moles of C2H6 consumed, specifically 3 times greater).

So, the number of moles of H2O produced would be (0.1663 mol C2H6)(6 mol H2O/2 mol C2H6) = 0.499 mol H2O. We multiply by the molar mass of H2O to convert moles to mass: (0.499 mol H2O)(18.0153 g/mol) = 8.987 g H2O.

<u>Note</u>: If significant figures must be considered, then the answer would be 8.99 g H2O.

In a mixture of 2 ideal gases, A and B, PA = 0.2PB, what is the mole fraction of A?

Alborosie

Answer:

0.1667

Explanation:

Hello,

Dalton's law defines:

$y_i=\frac{P_i}{P_T}$

A total pressure is:

$P_T=P_A+P_B$

So, for A (solving for $P_A$ in the previous equation, we get:

$y_A=\frac{P_A}{P_A+P_B}$

Since $P_A=0.2P_B$ , we obtain:

$y_A=\frac{P_A}{P_A+P_A/0.2}\\y_A=\frac{1}{6}\\y_A=0.1667$ }

Best regards.

Which of the following are strongly hydrogen bonded in the liquid phase? A) nitrilesB) esters C) secondary amides D) acid chlori

-Dominant- [34]

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Chemical formula of a secondary amide is R'-CONH-R, where R and R' can be same of different alkyl or aryl groups. Here, the hydrogen atom of amide is attached to more electronegative oxygen atom of the C=O group.

Therefore, the hydrogen atom will be more strongly held by the electronegative oxygen atom. As a result, there will be strongly hydrogen bonded in the liquid phase of secondary amide.

Whereas chemical formula of nitriles is RCN, ester is RCOOR' and acid chlorides are RCOCl. As no hydrogen bonding occurs in any of these compounds because hydrogen atom is not being attached to an electronegative atom.

Thus, we can conclude that secondary amides are strongly hydrogen bonded in the liquid phase.
