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

Sauron [17]

Answer:

4Ba(CO3) -> 4BaO2 + 2CO2

Explanation:

I looked at the oxygens to balance this. Ba(CO3) normally has 3 oxygens. BaO2 and CO2 have 4 oxygens total. The common multiple of 3 & 4 is 12. So there should be 12 oxygens on both sides. Then I just found the coefficients that would give 12 oxygens on both sides and can balance the rest of the atoms.

Explain the role of rhinos in the food chain?
hichkok12 [17]
The role of rhinos in the food chain is... <span>White rhinos are grass-grazing animals, while black rhinos are low browsers. They fill similar roles in their ecosystems to other grazers and browsers. Their size means they eat a LOT, and also means that generally only their offspring are preyed on. So, recycling and trampling high-carbon foliage into fertilizer is their main function.
