Answer:

The mass % of ethane is 29.1 %

Explanation:

Step 1: data given

Mass of gaseous mixture = 9.780 grams

Mixture contains ethane and propane

Moles of oxygen needed = 1.120 moles

Molar mass O2 = 32 g/mol

Molar mass of ethane = 30.07 g/mol

Molar mass of propane = 44.1 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equations

C2H6 + 7/2 O2 → 2CO2 + 3H2O

C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles

n(C2H6) / n(O2)  = 1 / 3.5 = 1/X

m(C2H6) = 3.5x mole * 30.07 g/mol

n(C3H8) /n(O2) = 1/5 = x / (1.12 -x)

m(C3H8) = (1.12 - x) /5  * 44.1 g/mol

3.5 * 30x + 1/5 *44.1 (1.12-x) = 9.780 grams

x = 0.3325 moles

Step 4: Calculate mass ethane

2/7 * 30*0.3325 = 2.85 grams

Step 5: Calculate % of ethane

% ethane = (2.85 grams / 9.78 grams ) * 100%

% ethane = 29.1 %

The mass % of ethane is 29.1 %

In the following reaction, which component acts as an oxidizing agent? 10 I− (aq) + 2 MnO4− (aq) + 16 H+ (aq) → 5 I2 (s) + 2 Mn2
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

The oxidizing agent is the MnO₄⁻

Explanation:

This is the redox reaction:

10 I⁻ (aq) + 2 MnO₄⁻ (aq) + 16 H⁺ (aq) → 5 I₂ (s) + 2 Mn²⁺ (aq) + 8 H2O (l)

Let's determine the oxidation and the reduction.

I⁻ acts with -1 in oxidation state and changes to 0, at I₂.

All elements in ground state has 0 as oxidation state.

As the oxidation state has increased, this is the oxidation, so the iodide is the reducing agent.

In the permanganate (MnO₄⁻), Mn acts with +7 in oxidation state and decreased to Mn²⁺. As the oxidation state is lower, we talk about the reduction. Therefore, the permanganate is the oxidizing agent because it oxidizes iodide to iodine
