Answer:

Assume that 100 grams of C2H4 is present. This means that there are 85.7 grams of carbon and 14.3 grams of hydrogen.

Convert these weights to moles of each element:

85.7 grams carbon/12 grams per mole = 7 moles of carbon.

14.3 grams hydrogen/1 gram per mole = 14 moles of hydrogen.

Divide by the lowest number of moles to obtain one mole of carbon and two moles of hydrogen.

Since we know that there cannot be a stable CH2 molecule, multiply by two and you have C2H4 which is ethylene - a known molecule.

The secret is to convert the percentages to moles and find the ration of the constituents.

If I add 2.75 g of CaO to 155 mL of distilled water, what will be the concentration of the solution be?
IRINA_888 [86]
M = m/L
moles of CaO = 2.75g / molar mass
2.75g/ 56.08g = 0.049moles CaO
155mL / 1000 = 0.155 L
M= 0.049moles/0.155L
M=0.316

How to do q solution, qrxn, moles of Mg , and delta Hrxn?
Helga [31]

Answer:

<em> 14, 508J/K</em>

ΔHrxn =q/n

where q = heat absorbed and n = moles

Explanation:

<em>m = mass of substance (g) = 0.1184g</em>

1 mole of Mg - 24g

<em>n</em> moles - 0.1184g

<em>n = 0.0049 moles.</em>

Also, q = m × c × ΔT

<em> Heat Capacity, C of MgCl2 = 71.09 J/(mol K)</em>

<em>∴ specific heat c of MgCL2 = 71.09/0.0049 (from the formula c = C/n)</em>

<em>= 14, 508 J/K/kg</em>

ΔT=  (final - initial) temp = 38.3 - 27.2

= 11.1 °C.

mass of MgCl2 = 95.211 × 0.1184 = 11.27

⇒ q = 11.27g × 11.1 °C × <em>14, 508 j/K/kg </em>

<em>= 1,7117.7472 J °C-1 g-1</em>

<em />

<em>∴ ΔHrxn = q/n</em>

<em>=1,7117.7472  ÷ 0.1184 </em>

<em>= 14, 508J/K</em>
