A certain alcoholic beverage contains only ethanol (C2H6O) and water. When a sample of this beverage undergoes combustion, the e

thanol burns but the water simply evaporates and is collected along with the water produced by combustion. The combustion reaction is: C2H6O(l) + 3O2(g) → 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(g) when a 10.00 g sample of this beverage is burned, 11.27 g of water is collected. a) What is the mass of ethanol in the original sample? Enter a numerical answer in grams.

Answer:

9.606 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced combustion reaction

C₂H₆O(l) + 3 O₂(g) → 2 CO₂(g) + 3 H₂O(g)

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 11.27 g of H₂O

The molar mass of H₂O is 18.02 /mol.

11.27 g × (1 mol/18.02 g) = 0.6254 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of C₂H₆O that formed 0.6254 moles of H₂O

The molar ratio of C₂H₆O to H₂O is 1:3. The moles of C₂H₆O are 1/3 × 0.6254 mol = 0.2085 mol

Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 0.2085 moles of C₂H₆O

The molar mass of C₂H₆O is 46.07 g/mol.

0.2085 mol × 46.07 g/mol = 9.606 g

1.What is the name of the compound CuCO3?. a. Copper (I) Carbonate. b. Copper (II) Carbonate. c. Copper Carbon Oxide . d. Copper
Studentka2010 [4]

1. Answer;

Copper (ii) carbonate.

The name of the compound CuCO3 is copper (ii) carbonate.

Explanation;

Cu is the chemical symbol for the copper and CO3 is the chemical symbol for the carbonate group and each one of them has valency of two. Therefore, a compound CuCO3 is formed.

2. Answer;

Yes

Ca2+ reacted with Na2S to form CaS and Na+

Explanation:

Calcium ions reacts with sodium sulfide to form calcium sulfide and sodium ions.

For example; a salt of calcium, calcium carbonate reacts with sodium sulfide to form sodium carbonate and calcium sulfide.

3. Answer;

NaCl and Ag+ do not form a product

Explanation;

The reaction between sodium chloride and silver metal will not take place. This is because silver (Ag) is less reactive than sodium metal and therefore cannot displace sodium from its salt. In other words, silver metal is lower in the reactivity series as compared to sodium metal which indicates sodium metal is more reactive than silver.

4. Answer;

Formation of a white precipitate ; this indicates that silver sulfide is insoluble in water.

Explanation;

When an aqueous solution containing Ag+ ions is added to aqueous solution of sodium sulfide (Na2S), there will be formation of white precipitate. Formation of white precipitate indicates that a reaction has taken place to form a water insoluble compound. The water insoluble compound occurs as a precipitate. The white precipitate is silver sulfide (Ag2S)

2 Ag+ (aq) + Na2S(aq) ----- Ag2S (s) + 2 Na+ (aq)

If the composition of the reaction mixture at 400 k is [brcl] = 0.00415 m, [br2] = 0.00366 m, and [cl2] = 0.000672 m, what is th
Scorpion4ik [409]
Q is unlike K value it describes the reaction that is not at equilibrium.
by considering this reaction:
aA+ bB⇄ cC
and our reaction is:
Br2 + Cl2 ⇄ 2 BrCl

According to Q low:
Q= concentration of products/concentration of reactants
but this equation in the gaseous or aqueous states only.
∴ Q = [BrCl]^2 / [Br2] [Cl2]

and we have [Br2] = 0.00366 m  [Cl2]= 0.000672 m  [BrCl] = 0.00415 m

by substitution:
                          = [0.00415]^2 / ( [0.00366] * [0.000672])
             ∴   Q   = 7

melisa1 [442]
1) chromium(III) nitrate is acidic,  because it is the salt of weak base (chromium(III) hydroxide Cr(OH)₃) and strong acid (nitric acid HNO₃).
2) sodium hydrosulfide is basic, because it is the salt of strong base (sodium hydroxide MaOH) and weak acid (hydrogen sulfide H₂S).
3) zinc acetate is little basic, because zinc hydroxide (Zn(OH)₂) is stronger base than acetic acid (CH₃COOH).

What orbitals are used to form the 10 sigma bonds in propane (ch3ch2ch3)? Label each atom with the appropriate hybridization. Dr
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Mixing of pure orbitals having nearly equal energy to form equal number of completely new orbitals is said to be hybridization.

For the compound, CH_3CH_2CH_3 the electronic configuration of the atoms, carbon and hydrogen are:

Carbon (atomic number=6): In ground state= 1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{2}

In excited state: 1s^{2}2s^{1}2p^{3}

Hydrogen (atomic number=1): 1s^{1}

All the bonds in the compound is single bond(\sigma-bond) that is they are formed by head on collision of the orbitals.

The structure of the compound is shown in the image.

The Carbon-Hydrogen bond is formed by overlapping of s-orbital of hydrogen to p-orbital of carbon.

In order to complete the octet the required number of electrons for carbon is 4 and for hydrogen is 1. So, the electron in 1s^{1} of hydrogen will overlap to the 2p^{3}-orbital of carbon.

Thus, the hybridization of Hydrogen is s-hybridization and the hybridization of Carbon is sp^{3}-hybridization.

The hybridization of each atom is shown in the image.
