Beta particle in the reaction
To determine the pressure in units of kPa, we need to use a conversion factor to convert the units from mmHg to kPa. A conversion factor is a value that would relate two different units and is multiplied or divide to the original measurement depending on what is units is asked. From literature, 1 atm is equal to 760 mmHg and it is also equal to 101.325 kPa. We use these factors to convert the given value. We do as follows:
2150 mmHg ( 1 atm / 760 mmHg ) ( 101.325 kPa / 1 atm ) = 286.643 kPa
Therefore, the closest value from the choices is the second one which has the value of 287, this would be answer.
<u>Answer:</u> The moles of water produced are 1.54 moles.
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:
Given mass of ethane = 15.42 g
Molar mass of ethane = 30.07 g/mol
Putting values in above equation, we get:
The chemical equation for the combustion of ethane follows:
By Stoichiometry of the reaction:
2 moles of ethane produces 6 moles of water
So, 0.513 moles of ethane will produce = 
of water
Hence, the moles of water produced are 1.54 moles.
You will have excess O2. The ideal gas law dictates that all other variables kept the same, equal volume means equal number of moles.
