Interesting problem. Thanks for posting.
C2H2 + (3/2)02 ====> H2O + 2CO2
CH4 + 2O2 =====> 2H2O + CO2
The molar mass of C2H2 = 2*12 + 2*1 = 26
The molar mass of CH4 = 1*12 + 4*1 = 16
The number of moles of C2H2 = x
The number of moles of CH4 = y
26x + 16y = 230.9 grams
For water we get (from the C2H2). Water has a molar mass of 2*1 + 16 = 18
x*18 See the balanced equation to see what it is the same number of moles as C2H2
From the methane we get
y*18
2*y* 18. Again see the balanced equation to see where that 2 came from.
18x + 36y is the total amount of water.
Now for the CO2. CO2 has a molar mass of 12 + 2*16 = 44
From C2H2 we get 2*44*x = 88x grams of CO2
From CH4 we get 1*y*44 grams of CO2
88x + 44y for CO2
Now we total to get the grand total of water and CO2
18x + 44y + 88x + 44y = 972.7 grams total.
106x + 88y = 972.7
Two equations, two unknowns, we should be able to solve this problem
26x + 16y = 230.9
106x + 88y = 972.7
I'm not going to go through the math unless you request me to do so.
x = 8.03 moles
y = 1.38 moles
The initial amount of C2H2 was 8.03 * 26 = 208.78
The initial amount of CH4 was 16*1.38 = 22.08
The total (as a check is 230.86 which is pretty close to the given amount.
So Methane's mass in the initial givens was 22.08 grams.
Answer:
Balancing Strategies: To balance this reaction it is best to get the Oxygen atoms on the reactant side of the equation to an even number. Once this is done everything else falls into place. Put a "2" in front of the NaClO3. Change the coefficient in front of the O2.
Answer:
70mol
Explanation:
The equation of the reaction is given as:
2C₂H₂ + 5O₂ → 4CO₂ + 2H₂O
Given parameters:
Number of moles of acetylene = 35.0mol
Number of moles of oxygen in the tank = 84.0mol
Unknown:
Number of moles of CO₂ produced = 35.0mol
Solution:
From the information given about the reaction, we know that the reactant that limits this combustion process is acetylene. Oxygen is given in excess and we don't know the number of moles of this gas that was used up. We know for sure that all the moles of acetylene provided was used to furnish the burning procedure.
To determine the number of moles of CO₂ produced, we use the stoichiometric relationship between the known acetylene and the CO₂ produced from the balanced chemical equation:
From the equation:
2 moles of acetylene produced 4 moles of CO₂
∴ 35.0 mol of acetylene would produced:
= 70mol
This problem is asking for the percent by mass of hydrogen in hydrofluoric acid. At the end, the answer turns out to be D. 5% as shown below:
<h3>Percent compositions:</h3>
In chemistry, percent compositions are used for us to know the relative amount of a specific element in a compound. In order to do so for hydrogen, we use the following formula, which can also be applied to any other element in a given compound:
Where stands for the atomic mass of hydrogen and for the molar mass of hydrofluoric acid. In such a way, we plug in the atomic masses of hydrogen (1.01 g/mol) and fluorine (19.0 g/mol) to obtain:
