Answer:
496 g
Explanation:
Let's consider the reaction between ethanol and oxygen to form acetic acid and water.
CH₃CH₂OH + O₂ → CH₃COOH + H₂O
The molar ratio of CH₃CH₂OH to CH₃COOH is 1:1. The moles of acetic acid produced by the reaction of 8.26 moles of ethanol are:
8.26 mol CH₃CH₂OH × (1 mol CH₃COOH/1 mol CH₃CH₂OH) = 8.26 mol CH₃COOH
The molar mass of acetic acid is 60.05 g/mol. The mass corresponding to 8.26 moles is:
8.26 mol × 60.05 g/mol = 496 g
Answer:
- <em>c. The reaction is spontaneous at all temperatures.</em>
Explanation:
The spontaneity of a reaction can be determined by the thermodynamic property named Gibb's free energy or simply free energy (G).
The change in the free energy of a system is defined as the difference between the increase in enthalpy (ΔH) and the product of the temperature (T) times the increase in entropy (ΔS):
The sign of ΔG tells if a reaction is spontaneous according to this:
- ΔG < 0, the reaction is spontaneous.
- ΔG = 0, the reaction is in equilibrium.
- ΔG > 0, the reaction is not spontaneous.
The question states that a reaction is exothermic, and its entropy change is positive. That means:
- Exhotermic: ΔH < 0
- Positive entropy change: ΔS > 0
Remember that the temperature is stated in absolute scale, so T is always positive.
Hence, ΔG = ΔH - T ΔS = (negative) - T (positive) = (negative) + (negative) = negative.
<u>Conclusion</u>: since ΔG is negative, regardless the temperature, you conclude that<em><u> the reaction is spontaneous at all temperatures, which is the option c.</u></em>
Start by writing out molar mass of each component:
1) NaOH= 22.99+16+1.01 --> 40
2) Na₃PO₄= (22.99)3 + 94.97 + 64 --> 227.94
3) NaNO₃= 22.99 + 14 + 48 --> 84.99
Now compare the mass of sodium with the rest of the substances:
1) (22.99/40)100%= 57.475%
2) (68.97/227.94)/100%= 30.25%
3) (22.99/84.99)/100%= 27.05%
As seen, the ordered list is: Sodium hydroxide, sodium phosphate and sodium nitrate.
Hope I helped :)
