Chemistry

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of H_2O produced is 2.52 g

<u>Explanation:</u>

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)

  • <u>For hexane:</u>

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

  • <u>For oxygen gas:</u>

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

What is the percentage of oxygen in Li(NO2)3
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

66.2 % of O

Explanation:

Our compound is the lithium nitrite.

LiNO₂

This salt is ionic and can be dissociated: LiNO₂ →  Li⁺ + NO₂⁻

We determine the molar mass:

molar mass of Li + 3 . molar mass of N + 6 . molar mass of O

6.94 g/mol + 3. 14 g/mol + 6 . 16 g/mol = 144.94 g/mol

The mass of oxygen contained in 1 mol of lithium nitrite is:

6 . 16 g/mol = 96 g

So the percentage of oxygen present is:

(96 g / 144.94 g) . 100 = 66.2 %

<u>Chemistry</u>

<u>Stoichiometry</u>

  • Reading a Periodic Table
  • Using Dimensional Analysis
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[RxN - Balanced] 2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO

[Given] 5.8332 g Mg

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

[RxN] 2 mol Mg = 2 mol MgO

Molar Mass of Mg - 24.31 g/mol

Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of MgO - 24.31 + 16.00 = 40.31 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Stoichiometry</u>

  1. Set up:                              \displaystyle 5.8332 \ g \ Mg(\frac{1 \ mol \ Mg}{24.31 \ g \ Mg})(\frac{2 \ mol \ MgO}{2 \ mol \ Mg})(\frac{40.31 \ g \ MgO}{1 \ mol \ MgO})
  2. Multiply/Divide:                                                                                               \displaystyle 9.67241 \ g \ MgO

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 5 sig figs.</em>

9.67241 g MgO ≈ 9.6724 g MgO
