Answer:

530.835 g

Explanation:

First we convert 244 g of benzoic acid (C₇H₆O₂) to moles, using its molar mass:

  • 244 g benzoic acid ÷ 122.12 g/mol = 2.00 moles benzoic acid

Theoretically,<em> one mol of ethyl benzene would produce one mol of benzoic acid</em>. But the experimental yield tells us that one mol of ethyl benzene will produce only 0.4 moles of benzoic acid.

With the above information in mind we convert 2.00 moles of benzoic acid into moles of ethyl benzene:

  • 2.00 moles benzoic acid * \frac{1molEthylBenzene}{0.4molBenzoicAcid} = 5.00 moles ethyl benzene

Finally we <u>convert moles of ethyl benzene </u>(C₈H₁₀)<u> into grams</u>, using its <em>molar mass</em>:

  • 5.00 moles ethyl benzene * 106.167 g/mol = 530.835 g ethyl benzene

mariarad [96]

Answer:

4, 16,

Explanation:

SI2 is sulphur diiodide. Sulphur is in group sixteen (six valence electrons) while iodine is in group 17(seven valence electrons).

Since there are two iodine atoms and one sulphur atom, the molecule has twenty valence electrons. Out of these twenty valence electrons, only four are bonding electrons. The other sixteen electrons include the four nonbonding electrons found on sulphur and the twelve non bonding electrons found on the two iodine atoms having six nonbonding electrons each.

If copper carbonate system is heated for too short a time, what will you notice for mass percent of copper be too large or too s
sammy [17]

Answer:

The mass percent of copper as element is the same.

Explanation:

First of all we need the reaction that is presented below:

CuCO_{3 (s)} +Heat → CuO_{(s)} + CO_{2 (g)}

The mass percent of copper (Cu) as element is the same because of during the reaction the element only transform its nature from copper carbonate (CuCO_{3 (s)}) to copper oxide (CuO_{(s)}), the latter is a solid and will remain in the system.

On the other hand, you will note that the global percentage mass will be small because of the reaction produce (CO_{2 (g)}) that is a gas and this one will escape for the system.  

Have a great day!

Plastics are synthetic, organic polymers. how are plastics similar and different to polysaccharides
yawa3891 [41]
Plastics and polysaccharides are somewhat similar because they are both polymers. Polymers are a long chain of repeating units called monomers. Their difference, however, is the identity of their monomers. Plastics have hydrocarbons as monomers. Plastics with the monomer ethene is called polyethylene. For polysaccharides, their monomers are simple sugars.
