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 %

what is the pressure, in atmospheres, of 2.97 mol h2 gas if it has a volume of 73 liters when the temperature is 298 k? 0.50 atm
Triss [41]
P x V = n x R x T

P x 73 = 2.97 x 0.082 x 298

P x 73 = 72.57492

P = 72.57492 / 73

P = 1.0 atm

hope this helps!

The kinetic energy of a 10.3 g golf ball traveling at 48.0 m/s is
Svetach [21]

To work out the kinetic energy of an object, you use the formula:


E = 0.5 x (mass) x (velocity)^2


One important thing, though. The units MUST be consistent. Mass needs to be in kilograms, and velocity in metres per second.


To convert the mass form grams to kilograms, we need to divide it by 1000, getting 0.0103 kg. Since the velocity is already in the units we need, we can just plug the numbers into the equation to get:


E = 0.5 x (0.0103 kg) x (48.0)^2 = 11.8656 J = 11.9 J, to 3 significant figures



Hope I helped! xx
