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

A 2.50 g sample of zinc is heated, and then placed in a calorimeter containing 65.0 g of water. Temperature of water increases f
swat32

718.65 degrees is the initial temperature of the zinc metal sample.

Explanation:

Data given:

mass of zinc sample = 2.50 grams

mass of water  = 65 grams

initial temperature of water = 20 degrees

final temperature of water = 22.5 degrees

ΔT  = change in temperature of water is 2.50 degrees

specific heat capacity of zinc cp= 0.390 J/g°C

initial temperature of zinc sample = ?

cp of water = 4.186 J/g°C

heat absorbed = heat released (no heat loss)

formula used is

q = mcΔT

q water = 65 x 4.286 x 2.5

q water = 696.15 J

q zinc = 2.50 x 0.390 x (22.50- Ti)

equating the two equations

696.15 = - 22.50+ Ti

Ti = 718.65 degrees is the initial temperature of zinc.

If 3.18 x 10^23 atoms of iron react with 67.2 L of chlorine gas at STP, what is the maximum
spin [16.1K]

84.34 grams of grams of iron (III) chloride that can be produced is maximum because Fe is the limiting reagent in this reaction and chlorine gas is excess reagent.

Explanation:

Balanced chemical equation:

2 Fe + 3 Cl2 → 2 FeCl3​

DATA GIVEN:

iron =  atoms

mass of chlorine gas = 67.2 liters

mass of FeCl3 = ?

number of moles of iron will be calculated as

number of moles = \frac{total number of atoms}{Avagaro's number}

number of moles = \frac{3.18 x 10^23}{6.022x 10^23}

number of moles = 0.52 moles of iron

moles of chlorine gas

number of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass of 1 mole}

Putting the values in the equation:

n = \frac{67200}{70.96}               (atomic mass of chlorine gas = 70.96 grams/mole)

   = 947.01 moles

Fe is the limiting reagent so

2 moles of Fe gives 2 moles of FeCl3

0.52 moles of Fe will give

\frac{2}{2} = \frac{x}{0.52}

0.52 moles of FeCl3 is formed.

to convert it into grams:

mass = n X atomic mass

         = 0.52 x 162.2                   (atomic mass of FeCl3 is 162.2grams/mole)  

<h3>           = 84.34 grams         </h3>

Recall that your hypothesis is that these values are the fraction of atoms that are still radioactive after n half-life cycles.
jolli1 [7]

Answer : A= 0.5, B = 0.25 , C = 0.125, D = 0.015625 and E = 0.00390625

Explanation :

Half life of a substance is defined as the amount of time taken by the substance to reduce to half of its original amount.

Here n represents the number of half lives.

The amount of substance that remains after n half lives can be calculated using the given formula, 0.5^{n}

So when we have n =1,

Fraction of substance that remains = 0.5¹ = 0.5.

That means after first half life over, the amount of substance that remains is 0.5 times that of original.

Therefore we have A = 0.5

When n = 2, we have 0.5² = 0.25

So when 2 half lives are over, the amount of substance that remains is 0.25 times that of original

Therefore B = 0.25

When n = 3, we have 0.5³ = 0.125

So when 3 half lives are over, the amount of substance that remains is 0.125 times that of original.

Therefore we have C = 0.125

When n = 6 , we have 0.5⁶ = 0.015625

So D = 0.015625

When n = 8, we have 0.5⁸ = 0.00390625

Therefore E = 0.00390625

The values for A, B, C, D and E are 0.5, 0.25, 0.125, 0.015625 and 0.00390625 respectively.

Be sure to answer all parts. ethyl butanoate, ch3ch2ch2co2ch2ch3, is one of the many organic compounds isolated from mangoes. wh
GrogVix [38]

Ethyl Butanoate when treated with a base looses a proton which is more acidic in nature. In this case ethyl butanoate acts as a lowery bronsted acid. It donated the more acidic proton to lowery bronsted base.

Among the protons attached to different carbon atoms the hydrogen atoms next to carbonyl functional group (labelled as red in attached picture) are more acidic in nature and are readily donated on treatment with strong base. These hydrogen atoms are also called alpha hydrogen name after their position.

Acidity of Alpha Hydrogens:

The driving force behind the acidity of alpha hydrogens is the formation of enolates. The enolate formed is resonance stabilized. This stability is the main reason for the said acidity. The pKa value of said protons is approximately 20-25. Hence, the enolate formed is infact the conjugate base and can act as neucleophile.

Complete the sentence. When an acid is added to water, hydroxide ions __________.
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

The hydroxide ions decrease.

Explanation:

I got it right on the quiz. This is what I saw. Read this, "Adding water to an acid or base will change its pH. Water is mostly water molecules so adding water to an acid or base reduces the concentration of ions in the solution. When an acidic solution is diluted with water the concentration of H + ions decreases and the pH of the solution increases towards 7."

Hope this helps! Tell me if this is wrong just incase.
