Answer:
0.800 mol
Explanation:
We have the amounts of two reactants, so this is a limiting reactant problem.
We know that we will need a balanced equation with moles of the compounds involved.
Step 1. <em>Gather all the information</em> in one place.
C₃H₈ + 5O₂ ⟶ 3CO₂ + 4H₂O
n/mol: 4.00 4.00
===============
Step 2. Identify the <em>limiting reactant
</em>
Calculate the <em>moles of CO₂</em> we can obtain from each reactant.
<em>From C₃H₈:</em>
The molar ratio of CO₂: C₃H₈ is 3:1
Moles of CO₂ = 4.00 × 3/1
Moles of CO₂ = 12.0 mol CO₂
<em>From O₂</em>:
The molar ratio of CO₂: O₂ is 3:5.
Moles of CO₂ = 4.00 × ⅗
Moles of CO₂ = 2.40 mol CO₂
O₂ is the limiting reactant because it gives the smaller amount of CO₂.
==============
Step 3. Calculate the <em>moles of C₃H₈ consumed</em>.
The molar ratio of C₃H₈:O₂ is 1:5.
Moles of C₃H₈ = 4.00 × ⅕
Moles of C₃H₈ = 0.800 mol C₃H₈
The amount of energy released when 0.06 kg of mercury condenses at the same temperature can be calculated using its latent heat of fusion which is the opposite of melting. Latent heat of fusion and melting can be used because they have the same magnitude, but opposite signs. Latent heat is the amount of energy required to change the state or phase of a substance. For latent heat, there is no temperature change. The equation is:
E = m(ΔH)
where:
m = mass of substance
ΔH = latent heat of fusion or melting
According to data, the ΔH of mercury is approximately 11.6 kJ/kg.
E = 0.06kg (11.6 kJ/kg) = 0.696 kJ or 696 J
The answer is D. 697.08 J. Note that small differences could be due to rounding off or different data sources.
