Answer: 899 g
Explanation:
Since the mass of a mole of diatomic chlorine is about 70.9 g/mol, this means that 875 grams is about 875/70.9 = 12.3 mol.
Hence, we know that chlorine is the limiting reactant, and that about 12.3 moles of chlorine will be consumed.
This means that 12.3(2)=24.6 grams of HCl will be produced, which will have a mass of about (24.6)(36.46)=899 g
A formula unit is the same as the empirical formula of a compound or an ionic molecule. It is the lowest ratio of the atoms in the compound or ion. Zinc acetate ions dissociates into zinc ions and acetate ions. The dissociation reaction is expressed as follows:
Zn(O2CCH3)2 = Zn2+ + 2(O2CCH3)1-
We determine the amount of acetate ions produced as follows:
Moles Zn(O2CCH3)2 = (3 formula units Zn(O2CCH3)2) ( 1 mol / 6.022x10^23 formula units) = 4.98x10^-24 mol Zn(O2CCH3)2
moles (O2CCH3)1- = 4.98x10^-24 mol Zn(O2CCH3)2 ( 2 mol (O2CCH3)1- / 1 mol Zn(O2CCH3)2 ) = 9.96x10^-24 mol (O2CCH3)1-
# of acetate ions = 9.96x10^-24 mol (O2CCH3)1- ( 6.022x10^23 ions / 1 mol (O2CCH3)1-) = 6 acetate ions
The correct answer is D - When burning a log, the wood combined its components with oxygen. if you could capture the products (CO2, H2O, C, CO, etc), you would have a greater mass than what you started with, burning the log combined the log's components with oxygen in order to burn it.
