Acetaminophen as a chemical formula of C8H9NO2. The molar masses are:

C8H9NO2 = 151.163 g/mol

C = 12 g/mol

H = 1 g/mol

N = 14 g/mol

O = 16 g/mol

 

<span>TO get the mass percent, simply multiply the molar mass of each elements  with the number of the element divide by the molar mass of acetaminophen, that is:</span>

%C = [(12 * 8) / 151.163] * 100% = 63.50%

%H = [(1 * 9) / 151.163] * 100% = 5.954%

%N = [(14 * 1) / 151.163] * 100% = 9.262%

<span>%O = [(16 * 2) / 151.163] * 100% = 21.17% </span>

If 4.9 kg of CO2 are produced during a combustion reaction, how many molecules of CO2 would be produced?
solmaris [256]

Answer:

6.7 x 10²⁶molecules

Explanation:

Given parameters

Mass of CO₂  = 4.9kg  = 4900g

Unknown:

Number of molecules  = ?

Solution:

To find the number of molecules, we need to find the number of moles first.

 Number of moles  = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

          Molar mass of CO₂  = 12 + 2(16)  = 44g/mol

   Number of moles  = \frac{4900}{44}  = 111.36mole

A mole of substance is the quantity of substance that contains the avogadro's number of particles.

       1 mole  = 6.02 x 10²³molecules

     111.36 moles  =   111.36 x 6.02 x 10²³molecules   = 6.7 x 10²⁶molecules

0.50 mol A, 0.60 mol B, and 0.90 mol C are reacted according to the following reaction
algol [13]

Reactant C is the limiting reactant in this scenario.

Explanation:

The reactant in the balanced chemical reaction which gives the smaller amount or moles of product is the limiting reagent.

Balanced chemical reaction is:

A + 2B + 3C → 2D + E

number of moles

A = 0.50 mole

B = 0.60 moles

C = 0.90 moles

Taking A as the reactant

1 mole of A reacted to form 2 moles of D

0.50 moles of A will produce \frac{2}{1} = \frac{x}{0.50}

thus 0.50 moles of A will produce 1 mole of D

Taking B as the reactant

2 moles of B reacted to form 2 moles of D

0.60 moles of B reacted to form x moles of D

\frac{2}{2} = \frac{x}{0.6}

x = 2 moles of D is produced.

Taking C as the reactant:

3 moles of C reacted to form 2 moles of D

O.9 moles of C reacted to form x moles of D

\frac{2}{3} = \frac{x}{0.9}

= 0.60 moles of D is formed.

Thus C is the limiting reagent in the given reaction as it produces smallest mass of product.
