For this problem, we use the formula for sensible heat which is written below:
Q= mCpΔT
where Q is the energy
Cp is the specific heat capacity
ΔT is the temperature difference
Q = (55.5 g)(<span>0.214 cal/g</span>·°C)(48.6°C- 23°C)
<em>Q = 304.05 cal</em>
Answer:a) 11.34 g of ethane
can be formed
b)
is the limiting reagent
c) 3.44 g of the excess reagent remains after the reaction is complete
Explanation:
To calculate the moles :
1. 
2. 
According to stoichiometry :
1 mole of
require 1 mole of 
Thus 0.378 moles of
will require=
of 
Thus
is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and
is the excess reagent.
moles of
left = (2.10-0.378) = 1.72 moles
mass of
left=
According to stoichiometry :
As 1 mole of
give = 1 mole of 
Thus 0.378 moles of
give =
of 
Mass of 
Thus 11.34 g of ethane is formed.
