Answer:

 \frac{3}{2}

Explanation:

Given formula of Gypsum:

               CaSO₄. xH₂O,

       True formula:

              CaSO₄. 2H₂O,  x  = 2

Formula of plaster of paris  = CaSO₄. \frac{1}{2} H₂O,

               y  =  \frac{1}{2}

The difference between x and y; x - y:

               x  - y = 2 -  \frac{1}{2}  =  \frac{3}{2}

What amount of carbon dioxide (in moles) is produced from the reaction of 2.24 moles of ethanol with excess oxygen?
algol13

Answer : The amount of carbon dioxide produced is, 197.12 grams.

Explanation : Given,

Moles of ethanol = 2.24 mole

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mole

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

C_2H_5OH+3O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O

First we have to calculate the moles carbon dioxide.

From the balanced chemical reaction, we conclude that

As, 1 mole of ethanol react to give 2 moles of carbon dioxide

So, 2.24 mole of ethanol react to give 2\times 2.24=4.48 moles of carbon dioxide

Now we have to calculate the mass of carbon dioxide.

\text{Mass of }CO_2=\text{Moles of }CO_2\times \text{Molar mass of }CO_2

\text{Mass of }CO_2=4.48mole\times 44g/mole=197.12g

Therefore, the amount of carbon dioxide produced is 197.12 grams.

Why the bonds between nonmentals tend to be covalent
natita [175]
Ionic bonds form when a nonmetal and a metal exchange electrons, while covalent bonds form when electrons are shared between two nonmetals. An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions.
