How many moles of C5H120 would it take to generate 4.2 moles of CO2 from combustion?

Chemistry
1 answer:
dalvyx [7]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

0.84 moles

Explanation:

from the equation 2 moles of pentanol generated 10 moles of CO2 therefore, x mol of pentanol will generate 4.2mol of CO2.

making x the subject of formula=4.2*2/10

=0.84 moles of

pentanol

Calculate the molality of a 20.0 percent by weight aqueous solution of nh4cl. (molecular weight: nh4cl = 53.5)
cestrela7 [59]
Unfortunately the data provided doesn't include the DENSITY of the ammonium chloride solution and molarity is defined as moles per volume. So without the density, the calculation of the molarity is impossible. But fortunately, there are tables available that do provide the required density and for a 20% solution by weight, the density of the solution is 1.057 g/ml.  
So 1 liter of solution will mass 1057 grams and the mass of ammonium chloride will be 0.2 * 1057 g = 211.4 g. The number of moles will then be 211.4 g / 53.5 g/mol = 3.951401869 mol. Rounding to 3 significant digits gives a molarity of 3.95.  
Now assuming that your teacher wants you to assume that the solution masses 1.00 g/ml, then the mass of ammonium chloride will only be 200g, and that is only (200/53.5) = 3.74 moles.   
So in conclusion, the expected answer is 3.74 M, although the correct answer using missing information is 3.95 M.

Travka [436]

Answer:

contain hereditary information

break down food into energy

Explanation:

Hereditary information is contained in genes and genes are found inside the cell. This implies that the cell contains hereditary information of organisms. This hereditary information is passed on during cell division from parent to daughter cells.

Metabolism occurs in the cells. The cells use oxygen to break down food materials to produce energy.

Why must living things rely on thousands of catalysts for chemical reactions necessary for life?
Murrr4er [49]
Well, you don't need enzymes (biological catalysts) if you're willing to wait a century or two to digest a burger.

Without catalysts, complex reactions like digestion would take too long and the organism could not extract energy from the nutrients it eats in a practical time frame.

In addition, speed is everything in the biological world.

Some reactions and their speed relative to other organisms reactions determines who survives and who doesn't, among other aspects of life.

If a plant is slow to photosynthesize and grow in a habitat high in competition for sunlight real estate, other autotrophs will surely take over.

4. The reaction of silver nitrate and potassium bromide yields silver bromide and potassium nitrate. If
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

1.) AgNO₃

2.) 0.563 moles AgBr

Explanation:

The limiting reagent is the reagent that is used up completely during a reaction. It can be identified by calculating which reactant produces the smallest amount of product. This can be done by determining the number of moles of each reagent (via molarity conversion). and then converting it to moles of the product (via mole-to-mole ratio).

AgNO₃ (aq) + KBr (aq) ---> AgBr (s) + KNO₃ (aq)

Molarity (M) = moles / liters

100 mL = 1 L

AgNO₃

45.0 mL / 100 = 45.0 L

1.25 M = ? moles / 0.450 L

? moles = 0.563 moles

KBr

75.0 mL / 100 = 0.750 L

0.800 M = ? moles / 0.750 L

? moles = 0.600 moles

In this case, there is no need to use the mole-to-mole ratio because all of the coefficients are one in the reaction (the amount of the limiting reagent used is the same amount of product produced). Since AgNO₃ produces the smaller amount of product, it is the limiting reagent.
