or simply 2,8 it is isoelectronic with argon
Answer:
21.10g of H2O
Explanation:
We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:
2C7H14 + 21O2 —> 14CO2 + 14H2O
From the balanced equation above, 2L of C7H14 produced 14L of H2O.
Therefore, 3.75L of C7H14 will produce = (3.75 x 14)/2 = 26.25L of H2O.
Next, we shall determine the number of mole of H2O that will occupy 26.25L at stp. This is illustrated below:
1 mole of a gas occupy 22.4L at stp
Therefore, Xmol of H2O will occupy
26.25L i.e
Xmol of H2O = 26.25/22.4
Xmol of H2O = 1.172 mole
Therefore, 1.172 mole of H2O is produced from the reaction.
Next, we shall convert 1.172 mole of H2O to grams. This is illustrated below:
Number of mole H2O = 1.172 mole
Molar mass of H2O = (2x1) + 16 = 18g/mol
Mass of H2O =..?
Mass = mole x molar mass
Mass of H2O = 1.172 x 18
Mass of H2O = 21.10g
Therefore, 21.10g of H2O is produced from the reaction.
Let's start to understand this question by a simple combustion reaction involving oxidation of Ethane in the presence of Oxygen. When Ethane is burned in the presence of Oxygen it produces Carbon Dioxide and Water respectively. Therefore, the equation is as,
C₂H₆ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O
Above reaction shows the reaction and the equation is unbalanced. Balancing chemical equation is important because according to law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed. Hence, we should balance the number of elements on both side.
LHS RHS
Carbon Atoms 2 1
Hydrogen Atoms 6 2
Oxygen Atoms 2 3
It means this equation is not obeying the law. Now, how to balance? One way is as follow,
C₂H₆ + O₃ → C₂O₂ + H₆O
LHS RHS
Carbon Atoms 2 2
Hydrogen Atoms 6 6
Oxygen Atoms 3 3
We have balanced the equation by changing the subscripts. But, we have messed up the chemical composition of compounds and molecules like Oxygen is converted into Ozone.
Therefore, we will change the coefficients (moles) to balance the equation as,
C₂H₆ + 7/2 O₂ → 2 CO₂ + 3 H₂O
LHS RHS
Carbon Atoms 2 2
Hydrogen Atoms 6 6
Oxygen Atoms 7 7
Now, by changing the coefficients we have balanced the equation without disturbing the chemical composition of compounds and molecules.
