Gas x would be carbon dioxide.
note/ acid + carbonate —> salt + water + carbon dioxide
the white precipitate would be calcium carbonate. CaCo₃
note/ this is a common eqn u need to remember.
X - CO₂ (carbón dioxide)
Y - CaCo₃ (calcium carbonate)
sodium carbonate is a basic salt
The balanced equation that shows the reaction between oxalic acid and permanganate ion in an acidic medium is: 2MnO4- + 5H2C2O4 + 6H+ -> 2Mn(2+) + 10CO2 + 8H2O. Thus, 1 mole of oxalic acid reacts with 0.4 mole of permanganate ion. This was obtained using stoichiometry:
1 mol H2C2O4 x (2 mol MnO4-/ 5 mol H2C2O4) = 0.4 mol MnO4-
In this redox reaction, the permanganate is reduced to manganese(II) ion.
The balanced chemical equation of the reaction described above is,
C2H6O + O2 --> H2O + C2H4O2
If we have 3.84 g of oxygen, we divide by its molar mass.
n = (3.54 g Oxygen gas) x (1 mole O2/ 32 g O2)
n = 0.11 moles O2
Using ratio and proportion,
number of moles of ethanol = (0.11 moles O2) x (1 mole C2H6)
= 0.11 moles C2H6
Then, we multiply the calculated value to its molar mass, 46 grams /mol.
mass of ethanol = (0.11 mol) x (46 grams / mol)
= <em>5.06 grams</em>
I can help. What is wrong.
