Answer:

A. C3H3O

Explanation:

We have the following data:

m = mass of organic compound = 1.038g

Then mass of CO2 is 2.48g

Also mass of H2O is 0.510g

To calculate percentage of carbon = 12 x mass of CO2 x 100/44 x mass of organic compound

This gives us 65.1 percent

Formula to calculate percentage of H=

2 x mass of water x 100/18 x mass of organic compound.

= 2 x 0.510 x 100/18x 10038

This gives 5.4%

Percentage of Oxygen =100-(percentageof carbon +percentageof H)

= 100-(65.1+5.4)

= 100-70.5

= 29.5

We have to calculate emperical formula:

For C = 65.1

65.1/12

= 5.4

= 5.4/1.8

=3

For H=5.4

5.4/1

= 5.4

= 5.4/1.8

=3

For O = 29.5

= 29.5/16

= 1.8

= 1.8/1.8

=1

So the emperical formula of organic compound is given as

C3H3O1

= C3H3O

(The atomic weights of C, H, O are 12,1,16)

When two moles of ethane react completely with oxygen, how many moles of carbon dioxide will be produced?A. 2.B. 4.C. 8.D. Unkno
babymother [125]

Answer:

Option B.

Explanation:

As any reaction of combustion, the O₂ is a reactant and the products are CO₂ and H₂O. Combustion reaction for ethane is:

2C₂H₆  +  7O₂   →   4CO₂  +  6H₂O

So 2 moles of ethane react with 7 moles of oxygen to make 4 moles of dioxide and 6 moles of water.

Then 2 moles of ethane will produce 4 moles of CO₂

If a gas furnace releases 420 kcal of heat energy, what is the energy in kilojoules? (1 cal = 4.184 J)
Igoryamba
Answer:
The furnace releases 1757280 J 

Explanation:
We will do the conversion on two steps:
1- convert the kcal to cal
2- convert the cal to J

Step 1: converting kcal to cal
1 kcal is equivalent to 1000 cal. Therefore:
420 kcal is equivalent to 420*1000 = 420000 cal

Step 2: converting cal to J
We are given that:
<span>1 cal = 4.184 J
</span>Therefore:
420000 cal is equivalent to 420000 * 4.184 = 1757280 J 

Hope this helps :)
