Answer:

14.20g

Explanation:

Step 1:

The balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

2CH3(CH2)6CH3 + 25O2 —> 16CO2 + 18H2O

Step 2:

Determination of the masses of CH3(CH2)6CH3 and O2 that reacted and the mass of CO2 produced from the balanced equation. This is illustrated below

Molar Mass of CH3(CH2)6CH3 = 12 + (3x1) + 6[12 + (2x1)] + 12 + (3x1) = 12 + 3 + 6[12 + 2] + 12 + 3 = 12 + 3 + 6[14] + 12 + 3 = 114g/mol

Mass of CH3(CH2)6CH3 from the balanced equation = 2 x 114 = 228g

Molar Mass of O2 = 16x2 = 32g/mol

Mass of O2 from the balanced equation = 25 x 32 = 800g

Molar Mass of CO2 = 12 + (2x16) = 12 + 32 = 44g/mol

Mass of CO2 from the balanced equation = 16 x 44 = 704g

From the balanced equation above, 228g of CH3(CH2)6CH3 reacted with 800g of O2 to produce 704g of CO2.

Step 3:

Determination of the limiting reactant. We must obtain the limiting reactant in order to get the maximum yield of CO2.

The limiting reactant is obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above, 228g of CH3(CH2)6CH3 reacted with 800g of O2.

Therefore, 4.6g will react with = (4.6x800)/228 = 16.14g of O2.

The mass of O2 that reacted is lesser than the given mass ( i.e 27.4g) from the question. Therefore, CH3(CH2)6CH3 is the limiting reactant.

Step 4:

Determination of the maximum mass of the CO2 produced.

The limiting reactant is used to obtain the maximum yield in any reaction.

From the balanced equation above, 228g of CH3(CH2)6CH3 produce 704g of CO2.

Therefore, 4.6g of CH3(CH2)6CH3 will produce = (4.6 x 704)/228= 14.20g of CO2.

Therefore, the maximum mass of CO2 produced is 14.20g

What happens during a hurricane ??

uranmaximum [27]

Hurricanes are intense storms that originate in the Tropics. Hurricanes begin life as a small gathering of unorganized storms which gain energy from the heat of the ocean water. If certain conditions in the atmosphere are present, the gathering of individual clouds will begin to organize into a single storm. If the storm continues to feed off the heat supplied by the ocean, the organization of the cloud clusters will intensify and the winds will increase and circulate around a specific center, the eye. As a matter of fact, meteorologists place hurricanes in a category called cyclones. Cyclones are characterized by a circular wind pattern or circulation. Tornadoes, waterspouts, and dust devils are also members of this category.

During a hurricane, the air pressure decreases. This is the most important characteristic of a hurricane. Now do you think you know when Bertha passed? On July 11, near hour 14. It is at this time that the air pressure was at a minimum. Also, the wind speeds increase when a hurricane approaches. At hour 14, the wind speed and wind gust are near their maximum values of 18 meters/second and 24 meters/second, respectively. Keep in mind that Station 41010 was not near the most dangerous and intense area of the hurricane -- the eye wall. If this station were nearer the eye wall, the wind speeds and gusts would have been much higher and the air pressure would have been much lower.

Which subatomic particle can change the molecular geometry of a molecule?

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Electrons

Explanation:

According to the Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory (VSEPR), the geometry of a molecule depends on the number of electron pairs (regions of electron density) on the central atom of the molecule. Electron pairs on the valence shell of the molecule tend to position themselves as far apart in space as possible to minimize repulsion between them. Hence, the orientation of these electron pairs is the ultimate determinant of the observed geometry of a molecule.

Lone pairs of electrons cause more repulsion than bond pairs of electrons on the central atom of a molecule. Hence when the central atom of a molecule contains lone pairs of electrons, the molecular geometry is usually distorted from the expected geometry on the basis of VSEPR theory.

Hence, electrons are the subatomic particles which are responsible for any change in the observed molecular geometry of a molecule.

You titrate 25.00 mL of the lemon-lime Kool-Aid (with KI, HCl, and starch) with 0.001000 M KIO3(aq) solution. The titration requ

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

1.0190 x 10⁻⁵ mol

Explanation:

We know the titration required 10.19 mL of 0.001000 M KIO₃, from this information we can calculate the number of moles KIO₃ reacted and from there the number of moles of ascorbic acid since it is a monoprotic acid ( 1 equivalent of ascorbic acid to one equivalent KIO₃).

Molarity = mol/V

V KIO₃ = 10.19 mL = 10.19 mL x 1 L/1000 mL = 0.01019 L

⇒ mol KIO₃ = V x M = 0.01019 L x 0.0010 mol / L = 1.0190 x 10⁻⁵ mol KIO₃

# mol ascorbic acid = # mol KIO₃ = 1.0190 x 10⁻⁵ mol
