We have that the the liquid is

  • C_2H_5OH (ethanol
  • And at a condition of H_2SO4 as catalyst and temp 170

From the question we are told

  • A student wished to prepare <em>ethylene </em>gas by <em>dehydration </em>of ethanol at 140oC using sulfuric acid as the <em>dehydrating </em>agent.
  • A low-boiling liquid was obtained instead of ethylene.
  • What was the liquid, and how might the reaction conditions be changed to give ethylene

<h3>Ethylene formation</h3>

Generally the equation is

2C_2H_5OH------CH3CH_2O-CH_2CH_3+H_20

Therefore

with ethanol at 140oC

The product is diethyl ethen

The reaction at 170 ethylene will give

C_2H_5OH-------CH_2=CH_2+H_2O( at a condition of H_2SO4 as catalyst and temp 170)

Therefore

The the liquid is

  • C_2H_5OH (ethanol

Find mass of 3 moles of water​
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

54 g

Explanation:

1 mole of water = H2O

mass of 1 mole of H2O= mass of h2 + mass of o

= 2× mass of h +mass of o

= 2×1+16 =18 g

1 mole of water = 18g

3moles of water = 18×3g= 54g

• Liquid at room temperature
•Gas at room temperature
• Argon has approximately the same solubility in water as oxygen and is 2.5 times more soluble in water than nitrogen. Argon is colorless, odorless, nonflammable and nontoxic as a solid, liquid or gas. Argon is chemically inert under most conditions and forms no confirmed stable compounds at room temperature.
