Answer:

The gas will occupy a volume of 1.702 liters.

Explanation:

Let suppose that the gas behaves ideally. The equation of state for ideal gas is:

$P\cdot V = n\cdot R_{u}\cdot T$ (1)

Where:

$P$ - Pressure, measured in kilopascals.

$V$ - Volume, measured in liters.

$n$ - Molar quantity, measured in moles.

$T$ - Temperature, measured in Kelvin.

$R_{u}$ - Ideal gas constant, measured in kilopascal-liters per mole-Kelvin.

We can simplify the equation by constructing the following relationship:

$\frac{P_{1}\cdot V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}\cdot V_{2}}{T_{2}}$ (2)

Where:

$P_{1}$ , $P_{2}$ - Initial and final pressure, measured in kilopascals.

$V_{1}$ , $V_{2}$ - Initial and final volume, measured in liters.

$T_{1}$ , $T_{2}$ - Initial and final temperature, measured in Kelvin.

If we know that $P_{1} = 121\,kPa$ , $P_{2} = 202\,kPa$ , $V_{1} = 2.7\,L$ , $T_{1} = 288\,K$ and $T_{2} = 303\,K$ , the final volume of the gas is:

$V_{2} = \left(\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}} \right)\cdot V_{1}$

$V_{2} = 1.702\,L$

The gas will occupy a volume of 1.702 liters.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[RxN - Balanced] C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2C₂H₅OH + 2CO₂

[Given] 500. g C₆H₁₂O₆ (Glucose)

[Solve] moles C₂H₅OH (Ethanol)

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

[RxN] 1 mol C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2 mol C₂H₅OH

[PT] Molar mass of C - 12.01 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of H - 1.01 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ - 6(12.01) + 12(1.01) + 6(16.00) = 180.18 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Stoichiometry</u>

[DA] Set up conversion: $\displaystyle 500 \ g \ C_6H_{12}O_6(\frac{1 \ mol \ C_6H_{12}O_6}{180.18 \ g \ C_6H_{12}O_6})(\frac{2 \ mol \ C_2H_5OH}{1 \ mol \ C_6H_{12}O_6})$
[DA} Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units]: $\displaystyle 5.55001 \ mol \ C_2H_5OH$

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

5.55001 mol C₂H₅OH ≈ 5.55 mol C₂H₅OH

How do you balance a chemical equation

Dominik [7]

There should be mass balance and the charge balance between the reactants and the products

Mass balance : total no of individual atoms of each type should be balanced before and after the reaction

Charge balance : Overall charge of the reactants should be balanced with the overall charge of the products

You can balance,

1)by just looking at it

2)by Algebraic method given above or

3)by the redox method

You need to know how to get the oxidation numbers in order to use the oxidation method
