Answer:

62.5 moles of O₂.

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

2C₈H₁₈ + 25O₂ —> 16CO₂ + 18H₂O

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of C₈H₁₈ reacted with 25 moles of O₂.

Finally, we shall determine the number of mole of O₂ needed to react with 5 moles of C₈H₁₈. This can be obtained as shown below:

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of C₈H₁₈ reacted with 25 moles of O₂.

Therefore, 5 moles of C₈H₁₈ will react with = (5 × 25) / 2 = 62.5 moles of O₂.

Thus, 62.5 moles of O₂ is needed for the reaction.

If you have a solution that contains 46.85 g of codeine, C18H21NO3, in 125.5 g of ethanol, C2H5OH, what is the mole fraction of

irakobra [83]

Answer:

0.22

Explanation:

Given, Mass of $C_{18}H_{21}NO_3$ = 46.85 g

Molar mass of $C_{18}H_{21}NO_3$ = 299.4 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$Moles= \frac{46.85\ g}{299.4\ g/mol}$

$Moles\ of\ C_{18}H_{21}NO_3= 0.1565\ mol$

Given, Mass of $C_{2}H_{5}OH$ = 125.5 g

Molar mass of $C_{2}H_{5}OH$ = 46.07 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$Moles= \frac{125.5\ g}{46.07\ g/mol}$

$Moles\ of\ C_{2}H_{5}OH= 0.5535\ mol$

So, according to definition of mole fraction:

$Mole\ fraction\ of\ codeine=\frac {n_{codeine}}{n_{codeine}+n_{ethanol}}$

$Mole\ fraction\ of\ codeine=\frac{0.1565}{0.1565+0.5535}=0.22$

What is the maximum mass of P2I4 that can be prepared from 8.80g of P4O6 and 12.37g of iodine according to the reaction:

Dvinal [7]

The balanced chemical reaction would be as follows:

5P4O6 +8I2 ---> 4P2I4 +3P4O10

We are given the amount of reactants used for the reaction. We first need to determine the limiting reactant from the given amounts. We do as follows:

8.80 g P4O6 (1 mol / 219.88 g) = 0.04 mol P4O6
12.37 g I2 ( 1 mol / 253.809 g ) = 0.05 mol I2

Therefore, the limiting reactant is iodine since less it is being consumed completely in the reaction. We calculate the amount of P2I4 prepared as follows:

0.05 mol I2 ( 4 mol P2I4 / 8 mol I2 ) (569.57 g / 1 mol) = 14.24 g P2I4

Compare the strength of the intermolecular forces in solids liquids and gases

telo118 [61]

Intermolecular forces in solids are strongest than in liquids and gases. Gases have the least strong intermolecular forces. Intermolecular forces are weak and are significant over short distances between molecules (determined by Coulomb’s law). The farther away from the molecules the weaker the intermolecular forces. Since molecules in solids are the closest, the intermolecular force between them as the strongest. Conversely, since gas molecules are farthest apart, the intermolecular forces between them are the weakest.

A total of 25.0 mL of 0.150 M potassium hydroxide (KOH) was required to neutralize 15.0 mL of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) of unknown c

Kamila [148]

We are told that KOH is being used to completely neutral H₂SO₄ according to the following reaction:

KOH + H₂SO₄ → H₂O + KHSO₄

If KOH can completely neutralize H₂SO₄, then there must be an equal amount of moles of each as they are in a 1:1 ratio:

0.025 L x 0.150 mol/L = .00375 mol KOH

0.00375 mol KOH x 1 mole H₂SO₄/1 mole KOH = 0.00375 mol H₂SO₄

We are told we have 15 mL of H₂SO₄ initially, so now we can find the original concentration:

0.00375 mol / 0.015 L = 0.25 mol/L

The concentration of H₂SO₄ being neutralized is 0.25 M.
