Draw the products of the acid-base reaction between stearic acid and OH-

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

Products are stearate anion and water.

Explanation:

Stearic acid is a 18-carbon chain molecule containing -COOH group. IUPAC name of stearic acid is octadecanoic acid.

Molecular formula of stearic acid is $C_{17}H_{35}CO_{2}H$ .

When $OH^{-}$ is added into stearic acid, $OH^{-}$ removes a proton ( $H^{+}$ ) from acidic -COOH group and forms stearate anion and water as products.

The balanced acid-base reaction is given as:

$C_{17}H_{35}CO_{2}H+OH^{-}\rightleftharpoons C_{17}H_{35}CO_{2}^{-}+H_{2}O$

Structure of products are given below.

A particle has 5 protons, 6 neutrons, and 5 electrons. What is its net charge.

Trava [24]

It would have a zero charge because it is a neutral atom. The number of electrons which is a negative charge is equal to the number of protons which is positive, they will cancel each other out hence meaning it will become neutral

The combustion of gasoline produces carbon dioxide and water. Assume gasoline to be pure octane (C8H18) and calculate the mass (

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

3.1 kg

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced combustion equation

C₈H₁₈ + 12.5 O₂ ⇒ 8 CO₂ + 9 H₂O

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 1.0 kg of C₈H₁₈.

The molar mass of C₈H₁₈ is 114.23 g/mol.

1.0 × 10³ g × 1 mol/114.23 g = 8.8 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of CO₂ produced from 8.8 moles of C₈H₁₈

The molar ratio of C₈H₁₈ to CO₂ is 1:8. The moles of CO₂ produced are 8/1 × 8.8 mol = 70 mol.

Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 70 moles of CO₂

The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01 g/mol.

70 mol × 44.01 g/mol = 3.1 × 10³ g = 3.1 kg
