2C2H6 + 7O2 ------> 4CO2 + 6H2O

1 answer:

8 0

We convert the masses of our reactants to moles and use the stoichiometric coefficients to determine which one of our reactants will be limiting.

Dividing the mass of each reactant by its molar mass:

(10 g C2H6)(30.069 g/mol) = 0.3326 mol C2H6

(10 g O2)(31.999 g/mol) = 0.3125 mol O2.

Every 2 moles of C2H6 react with 7 moles of O2. So the number of moles of O2 needed to react completely with 0.3326 mol C2H6 would be (0.3326)(7/2) = 1.164 mol O2. That is far more than the number of moles of O2 that we are given: 0.3125 moles. Thus, O2 is our limiting reactant.

Since O2 is the limiting reactant, its quantity will determine how much of each product is formed. We are asked to find the number of grams (the mass) of H2O produced. The molar ratio between H2O and O2 per the balanced equation is 6:7. That is, for every 6 moles of H2O that is produced, 7 moles of O2 is used up (intuitively, then, the number of moles of H2O produced should be less than the number of moles of O2 consumed).

So, the number of moles of H2O produced would be (0.3125 mol O2)(6 mol H2O/7 mol O2) = 0.2679 mol H2O. We multiply by the molar mass of H2O to convert moles to mass: (0.2679 mol H2O)(18.0153 g/mol) = 4.826 g H2O.

Given 10 grams of C2H6 and 10 grams of O2, 4.826 g of H2O are produced.

What is the partial pressure of argon, par, in the flask? express your answer to three significant figures and include the appro

monitta

Given which are missing in your question:
the flask is filled with 1.45 g of argon at 25 C°
So according to this formula (Partial pressure):
PV= nRT
first, we need n, and we can get by substitution by:
n = 1.45/mass weight of argon
= 1.45 / 39.948 = 0.0363 mol of Ar
we have R constant = 0.0821
and T in kelvin = 25 + 273 = 298
and V = 1 L
∴ P * 1 = 0.0363* 0.0821 * 298 = 0.888 atm

Why does the nitrogen concentration decrease after hydrogen is added? n2(g)+3h2(g)⇌2nh3(g) why does the nitrogen concentration d

Leno4ka [110]

The chemical reaction of a reversible reaction is actually governed by Le Chatelier’s principle. It states that when more reactants are introduced into the system, the reaction will proceed forward to create more products. So since Hydrogen is a reactant and Nitrogen is also reactant so adding more Hydrogen makes more products hence reducing the Nitrogen concentration.

Larger charges or shorter distances result in greater electric force. TRUE FALSE

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

The strength of electric force depends on the amount of electric charge on the particles and the distance between them. Larger charges or shorter distances result in greater force.

A buffer is composed of nh3 and nh4cl. How would this buffer solution control the ph of a solution when a small amount of a stro

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

According to Le-chatelier principle, equilibrium will shift towards left to minimize concentration of $OH^{-}$ and keep same equilibrium constant

Explanation:

In this buffer following equilibrium exists -

$NH_{3}(aq.)+H_{2}O(l)\rightleftharpoons NH_{4}^{+}(aq.)+OH^{-}(aq.)$

So, $OH^{-}$ is involved in the above equilibrium.

When a strong base is added to this buffer, then concentration of $OH^{-}$ increases. Hence, according to Le-chatelier principle, above equilibrium will shift towards left to minimize concentration of $OH^{-}$ and keep same equilibrium constant.

Therefore excess amount of $OH^{-}$ combines with $NH_{4}^{+}$ to produce ammonia and water. So, effect of addition of strong base on pH of buffer gets minimized.
