a. 0.137

b. 0.0274

c. 1.5892 g

d. 0.1781

e. 5.6992 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

2 C4H10 + 13O2 -------> 8CO2 + 10H2O

2.46 g of water

Required

moles and mass

Solution

a. moles of water :

2.46 g : 18 g/mol = 0.137

b. moles of butane :

= 2/10 x mol water

= 2/10 x 0.137

= 0.0274

c. mass of butane :

= 0.0274 x 58 g/mol

= 1.5892 g

d. moles of oxygen :

= 13/2 x mol butane

= 13/2 x 0.0274

= 0.1781

e. mass of oxygen :

= 0.1781 x 32 g/mol

= 5.6992 g

Explanation:

The word "science" was obtained from the Latin word "Scire" which means "to know". Hence science is a systematic investigation into the nature of the universe.

Scientific investigations begin with asking questions about the universe. It is this curiosity to know about occurrences in the universe as well as how to solve problems in the universe that leads to fascinating scientific investigations and discoveries.

What is the concentration of h+ ions in a 2.20 m solution of hno3?

kvv77 [185]

The question is improperly formatted.

What is the concentration of H+ ions in a 2.2 M solution of HNO3.

Answer:-

2.2 moles of H+ per litre

Explanation:-

M stands for molarity. 2.2 M means 2.2 moles of HNO3 is present per litre of the solution.

Now HNO3 has just 1 H in it's formula. HNO3 would give H+. So 2.2 moles of HNO3 would mean 2.2 moles of H+ per litre.

A 4.36 g sample of an unknown alkali metal hydroxide is dissolved in 100.0 ml of water. an acid-base indicator is added and the

Fofino [41]

Answer:

(a) $102.6g/mol$

(b) Rubidium

Explanation:

Hello,

This titration is carried out by assuming that the volume of base doesn't have a significant change when the mass is added, thus, we state the following data a apply the down below formula to compute the molarity of the base solution:

$V_{base}=0.1L; M_{acid}=2.5M, V_{acid}=0.017L\\V_{base}M_{base}=V_{acid}M_{acid}$

Solving for the molarity of base we've got:

$M_{base}=\frac{M_{acid}*V_{acid}}{V_{base}}=\frac{2.50M*0.017L}{0.1L} =0.425M=0.425mol/L$

Now, we can compute the moles of the base as:

$n_{base}=0.425mol/L*0.1L=0.0425mol$

(a) Now, one divides the provided mass over the previously computed moles to get the molecular mass of the unknown base:

$\frac{4.36g}{0.0425mol} =102.6g/mol$

(b) Subtracting the atomic mass of oxygen and hydrogen, the metal's atomic mass turns out into:

$102.6g/mol-16g/mol-1g/mol=85.6g/mol$

So, that atomic mass dovetails to the Rubidium's atomic mass.

Best regards.
