If we react 30 grams of ethane (C2H6 ) with 320 grams of oxygen, how many grams of carbon dioxide would we make

Chemistry

V125BC [204]3 years ago
6 0

The mass of carbon dioxide that would be made by reacting 30 grams C2H6 with 320 grams O2 will be 80 grams

From the balanced equation of the reaction:

2C_2H_6+7O_2---4CO_2+6H_2O

The mole ratio of C2H6 to O2 is 2:7.

  • Mole of 30 grams C2H6 = mass/molar mass

                                        = 30/30

                                       = 1 mole

  • Mole of 320 grams O2 = 320/32

                                       = 10 moles

Thus, C2H6 is the limiting reactant.

Mole ratio of C2H6 to CO2 according to the equation = 1:2

Since the mole of C2H6 is 1, the equivalent mole of CO2 would, therefore, be 2.

Mass of 2 moles CO2 = mole x molar mass

                                    = 2 x 44

                                      = 88 grams

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

The grams that would be produced  from 7.70 g of butanoic acid and excess ethanol is 7.923grams

calculation

Step 1: write the chemical equation for the reaction

CH3CH2CH2COOH + CH3CH2OH →  CH3CH2CH2COOCH2CH3  +H2O

step 2: find the moles of butanoic acid

moles= mass/ molar mass

=  7.70 g/ 88 g/mol=0.0875 moles

Step 3:  use the mole ratio to determine the moles of ethyl butyrate

moles ratio of CH3CH2CH2COOH :CH3CH2CH2COOCH2CH3  is 1:1 therefore the moles of CH3CH2CH2COOCH2CH3 = 0.0875  x78/100=0.0683moles

step 4: find mass = moles x molar mass

 =  0.0683 moles  x116 g/mol=7.923grams

Mamont248 [21]
By start heating the water so,
1- the physical changes to the water will begin by going through different states of matter such as solid, liquid and gas vapor. 

2- Water is a compound, not an element (H2o).

3- It will change according to the temperature change also:

a- At zero C° it is at a freezing temperature.

b- when it starts to be heated from 0C° to 100 c°, it starts to change from freezing to the liquid state. 

c- At 100C° the water starts to change from liquid to vapor state until it disappears.

katovenus [111]

Answer:

Complementary base pairing rules

Thymine 23

Guanine 27

Explanation:

Complementary base pairing rules state that adenine always pairs with thymine, and cytosine always pairs with guanine in a double stranded DNA helix This means that in a double stranded DNA molecule, there will be exactly the same amount of thymine as adenine, and exactly the same amount of guanine as cytosine. Therefore, there is 23% of thymine, and 27% of guanine
