Answer:
2.53 L is the volume of H₂ needed
Explanation:
The reaction is: C₁₈H₃₀O₂ + 3H₂ → C₁₈H₃₆O₂
By the way we can say, that 1 mol of linolenic acid reacts with 3 moles of oxygen in order to produce, 1 mol of stearic acid.
By stoichiometry, ratio is 1:3
Let's convert the mass of the linolenic acid to moles:
10.5 g . 1 mol / 278.42 g = 0.0377 moles
We apply a rule of three:
1 mol of linolenic acid needs 3 moles of H₂ to react
Then, 0.0377 moles will react with (0.0377 . 3 )/1 = 0.113 moles of hydrogen
We apply the Ideal Gases Law to find out the volume (condition of measure are STP) → P . V = n . R . T → V = ( n . R .T ) / P
V = (0.113 mol . 0.082 L.atm/mol.K . 273.15K) 1 atm = 2.53 L
Answer : 1.12 grams
Yo find the mass of the sample, you take the increased mass and subtract the original mass.
6.130 - 5.010 = 1.12
An ion is a charged atom or molecule. It is charged because the number of electrons do not equal the number of protons in the atom or molecule. An atom can acquire a positive charge or a negative charge depending on whether the number of electrons in an atom is greater or less then the number of protons in the atom. An example is Iron (III) , Iron (II) , lithium, and hydrogen.
