Answer:

21.6 g

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

  • CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

First we<u> convert the given masses of both reactants into moles</u>, using their <em>respective molar masses</em>:

  • 9.6 g CH₄ ÷ 16 g/mol = 0.6 mol CH₄
  • 64.9 g O₂ ÷ 32 g/mol = 2.03 mol O₂

0.6 moles of CH₄ would react completely with (2 * 0.6) 1.2 moles of O₂. As there are more O₂ moles than required, O₂ is the reactant in excess and CH₄ is the limiting reactant.

Now we <u>calculate how many moles of water are produced</u>, using the <em>number of moles of the limiting reactant</em>:

  • 0.6 mol CH₄ * \frac{2molH_2O}{1molCH_4} = 1.2 mol H₂O

Finally we<u> convert 1.2 moles of water into grams</u>, using its <em>molar mass</em>:

  • 1.2 mol * 18 g/mol = 21.6 g

Murljashka [212]

Explanation:

Let the mass of isoamyl acetate be 100g.

Moles of Carbon = 60.58/12 = 5.048mol

Moles of Hydrogen = 7.07/1 = 7.07mol

Moles of Oxygen = 32.28/16 = 2.018mol

Mole Ratio of C : H : O

= 5.048 : 7.07 : 2.018

= 5 : 7 : 2.

Hence the empirical formula of isoamyl acetate is C5H7O2.
