Answer:

%m/m = 0.9975%

Xₐ = 0.0039

Explanation:

In order to do this, we need various data. First to all, we need tje molecular mass of the ethanol. this can be obtained in handbooks, or simply taking the atomic weights of carbon (12 g/mol), Hydrogen (1 g/mol) and oxygen (16 g/mol) and summing those values:

MM C₂H₆O = (2*12) + (6*1) + (16*1) = 46 g/mol

Now, there is an expression that is commonly used to determine the molarity of a solution given the mass percent and density, and assuming of course, 1 liter of solution:

M = d * %m/m * 1000 / MM * 100     (1)

From here, we can solve for %m/m:

%m/m = M * MM * 100 / d * 1000

As the problem is not saying the volume of solution, we can easily assume we have 1 liter of solution. Therefore, the %m/m replacing the given data is:

%m/m = 0.216 *46 * 100 / 0.996 * 1000

<h2>%m/m = 0.9975%</h2>

To get the mole fraction, we first need to get the volume of solvent. From the density, we can get the mass of solution:

m = V * d

m = 1000 * 0.996 = 996 g of solution.

The mass of solute is:

m = 0.216 mol/L * 46 g/mol

m = 9.936 g/L, or simply we have 9.936 g of ethanol in 1 L of solution.

The mass of solvent:

solvent = 996 - 9.936 = 986.064 g

The molecular mass of water, so we can get the moles is 18 g/mol so:

moles water = 986.064 / 18 = 54.78

Finally the mole fraction:

Xₐ = 0.216 / (0.216 + 54.78)

<h2>Xₐ = 0.0039</h2>

Hope this helps

Which are the products in this chemical reaction? 2C4H10 + 13O2 8CO2 + 10H2O A. 13O2 + 10H2O B. 8CO2 + 10H2O C. 2C4H10 + 13O2 D.
arsen [322]

<u>Answer:</u> The products in the given chemical reaction are 8CO_2\text{ and }10H_2O

<u>Explanation:</u>

Reactants are defined as the species which react in the reaction and are written on the left side of the reaction arrow.

Products are defined as the species which are produced in the reaction and are written on the right side of the reaction arrow.

For the given chemical equation:

2C_4H_{10}+13O_2\rightarrow 8CO_2+10H_2O

The reactants of the above reaction are 2C_4H_{10}\text{ and }13O_2 and the products are 8CO_2\text{ and }10H_2O

Hence, the products in the given chemical reaction are 8CO_2\text{ and }10H_2O
