Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given as;

2CH3CHO + O2 → 2CH3COOH  

If 20.0 g CH3CHO and 10.0 g O2 were put into a reaction vessel, (a)

how many grams of acetic acid will be produced?

First thing's first, we have to find he limiting reactant. This is done by comparing the number of moles of the reactants.

From the equation of the reaction;

2 mol of CH3CHO reacts with 1 mol of O2

From the masses given;

Number of moles = Mass / Molar mass

CH3CHO;

Number of moles = 20 / 44.0526 = 0.454 mol

O2;

Number of moles = 10 / 32 = 0.3125 mol

The limiting reactant is CH3CHO because O2 would be in excess.

Back to the question;

2 mol of CH3CHO produces 2 mol of CH3COOH  

0.454 mol would produce x

Solving for x;

x = 0.454 * 2 / 2 = 0.454 mol

Converting to mass;

Mass = number of moles* Molar mass

Mass = 0.454 mol *  60.052 g/mol = 27.26 grams

(b) how many grams of the excess reactant remain after the reaction is

complete

The excess reactant is O2

Number of moles left = Initial Number of moles - Number of moles that reacted

Number of moles left =  0.3125 mol - (0.454 mol / 2)

Number of moles left = 0.0855 mol

Converting to mass;

Mass = 0.0855 mol * 32 g/mol = 2.736 grams

What is the symbol for moles using the ideal gas equation
vredina [299]

Answer: N is the numbers of moles

Explanation:

An ideal gas can be characterized by three state variables: absolute pressure (P), volume (V), and absolute temperature (T). The relationship between them may be deduced from kinetic theory and is called the. n = number of moles. R = universal gas constant = 8.3145 J/mol K. N = number of molecules.

An unknown gas with a formula of HX is contained in a 25.0 L tank at 1.2 atm and 25.0 oC. What is the chemical formula of the ga
ozzi

Answer:

HCl

Explanation:

Volume = 25L

Temperature = 25.0 oC + 273 = 298 K (Converting to kelvin units)

Pressure = 1.2 atm

Mass of gas = 44.7g

Formular of gas = HX

To solve this, we have to know the identity of X. One qay to do that is by obtaining the molecular mass of the compound.

To get the molar mass, we need the number of mole.

Using the ideal gas equation;

PV = nRT

where R = gas constant = 0.082 057 L atm K−1  mol−1

n = PV / RT

n = 1.2 * 25  / 0.082 057 * 298

n = 30  /  24.45

n = 1.227 mol

The relationship between number of moles and molar mass is given as;

Nummber f moles = mass  / molar mass

Molar mass = mass  / Number of moles

Molar mass = 44.7 / 1.227

Molar mass =  36.43 g/mol

Molar mass of gas X = Molar mass of H + Molar mass of X

36.43 = 1 + X

X = 36.43 - 1 = 35.43

Chlorine is the only element with molar mass approximate to 35.43

Hence X = Cl

The chemical formular = HCl

Explain obser made when flourine is bubbled in bromine water for sometime
lisabon 2012 [21]

Explanation:

Alkenes react in the cold with pure liquid bromine, or with a solution of bromine in an organic solvent like tetrachloromethane. The double bond breaks, and a bromine atom becomes attached to each carbon. The bromine loses its original red-brown color to give a colorless liquid. In the case of the reaction with ethene, 1,2-dibromoethane is formed.
