Answer:

Explanation:

If the reaction is really exothermic (and it is) then the water would spatter all over the place. It would boil off if the container could hold it. It would also react according to the following reaction.

You are talking about a reaction like

2K + 2HOH = 2KOH + H2

A certain sample of coal contains 1.60 percent sulfur by mass. when the coal is burned, the sulfur is converted to sulfur dioxid
alina1380 [7]
<span>1.40 x 10^5 kilograms of calcium oxide The reaction looks like SO2 + CaO => CaSO3 First, determine the mass of sulfur in the coal 5.00 x 10^6 * 1.60 x 10^-2 = 8.00 x 10^4 Now lookup the atomic weights of Sulfur, Calcium, and Oxygen. Sulfur = 32.065 Calcium = 40.078 Oxygen = 15.999 Calculate the molar mass of CaO CaO = 40.078 + 15.999 = 56.077 Since 1 atom of sulfur makes 1 atom of sulfur dioxide, we don't need the molar mass of sulfur dioxide. We merely need the number of moles of sulfur we're burning. divide the mass of sulfur by the atomic weight. 8.00 x 10^4 / 32.065 = 2.49 x 10^3 moles Since 1 molecule of sulfur dioxide is reacted with 1 molecule of calcium oxide, just multiply the number of moles needed by the molar mass 2.49 x 10^3 * 56.077 = 1.40 x 10^5 So you need to use 1.40 x 10^5 kilograms of calcium oxide per day to treat the sulfur dioxide generated by burning 5.00 x 10^6 kilograms of coal with 1.60% sulfur.</span>

What volume (in L) will a 32 g sample of butane gas, C4H10(g), occupy at a temperature of 45.0 oC and a pressure of 728 mm Hg?
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

15.0 L

Explanation:

To find the volume, you need to use the Ideal Gas Law:

PV = nRT

In this equation,

-----> P = pressure (mmHg)

-----> V = volume (L)

-----> n = moles

-----> R = Ideal Gas constant (62.36 L*mmHg/mol*K)

-----> T = temperature (K)

To calculate the volume, you need to (1) convert grams C₄H₁₀ to moles (via the molar mass), then (2) convert the temperature from Celsius to Kelvin, and then (3) calculate the volume (via the Ideal Gas Law).

Molar Mass (C₄H₁₀): 4(12.011 g/mol) + 10(1.008 g/mol)

Molar Mass (C₄H₁₀): 58.124 g/mol

32 grams C₄H₁₀              1 moles
-------------------------  x  -----------------------  = 0.551 moles C₄H₁₀
                                    58.124 grams

P = 728 mmHg                      R = 62.36 L*mmHg/mol*K

V = ? L                                    T = 45.0 °C + 273.15 = 318.15 K

n = 0.551 moles

PV = nRT

(728 mmHg)V = (0.551 moles)(62.36 L*mmHg/mol*K)(318.15 K)

(728 mmHg)V = 10922.7632

V = 15.0 L
