How many moles of steam are produced when 5.74 moles of octane (C8H18) react?

This is a combustion reaction, which always has the hydrocarbon and oxygen as reactants and then carbon dioxide and water (which is steam in this case) as products.

C8H18 + O2 —> CO2 + H2O

Balance your carbons first. You want to get 8 carbons on both sides.

C8H18 + O2 —> 8CO2 + H2O

Now balance your hydrogens. You want 18 hydrogens on both sides.

C8H18 + O2 —> 8CO2 + 9H2O

Now balance your oxygens. You have 2 on the left and 25 on the right. The O2 reactant needs a coefficient of 12.5 to balance this.

C8H18 + 12.5O2 —> 8CO2 + 9H2O

However, you can’t have decimals for coefficients in a reaction. So, multiply everything by 2.

2C8H18 + 25O2 —> 16CO2 + 18H2O

Now, use your mole ratio of 18 mol H2O for every 2 mol C8H18 to solve.

5.74 mol C8H18 • (18 mol H2O / 2 mol C8H18) = 51.7 mol H2O (steam)

klemol [59]

<u>Answer:</u> The percentage yield of aspirin is 38.02 %.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}      .....(1)

  • <u>For salicylic acid:</u>

Given mass of salicylic acid (C_7H_6O_3) = 10.09 g

Molar mass of salicylic acid (C_7H_6O_3) = 138.12 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of salicylic acid}=\frac{10.09g}{138.12g/mol}=0.0730mol

The chemical equation for the formation of aspirin follows:

C_7H_6O_3+C_4H_6O_3\rightarrow C_9H_8O_4+CH_3COOH

As, acetic anhydride is present in excess. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, salicylic acid is a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of products.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of salicylic acid produces 1 mole of aspirin.

So, 0.0730 moles of salicylic acid will produce = \frac{1}{1}\times 0.0730=0.0730mol of aspirin

Now, calculating the mass of aspirin from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of aspirin = 180.16 g/mol

Moles of aspirin = 0.073 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.073mol=\frac{\text{Mass of aspirin}}{180.16g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of aspirin}=13.15g

To calculate the percentage yield of aspirin, we use the equation:

\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100

Experimental yield of aspirin = 5.0 g

Theoretical yield of aspirin = 13.15 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\%\text{ yield of aspirin}=\frac{5.0g}{13.15g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of aspirin}=38.02\%

Hence, the percent yield of aspirin is 38.01 %.
