Answer:
16.5g of CO₂ could be produced
Explanation:
The combustion of hexane occurs as follows:
C₆H₁₄(l) + 19/2O₂ → 6CO₂ + 7H₂O
Where 1 mole of hexane reacts with 19/2 moles of O₂.
To solve this question we need to find the moles of each reactant in order to find limiting reactant. The moles of the limiting reactant will determine the moles of CO₂ produced:
Moles C₆H₁₄ -Molar mass: 86.18g/mol-:
17.2g hexane * (1mol / 86.18g) = 0.200 moles hexane
Moles O₂ -Molar mass: 32g/mol-:
19g O₂ * (1mol / 32g) = 0.594 moles oxygen.
For a complete reaction of 0.594 moles of oxygen are required:
0.594 moles O₂ * (1mol C₆H₁₄ / 19/2 moles O₂) = 0.0625 moles C₆H₁₄.
As there are 0.200 moles of hexane, hexane is the excess reactant and oxygen the limiting reactant.
The moles of CO₂ produced assuming a yield of 100% -All moles of oxygen react producing carbon dioxide.:
0.594 moles O₂ * (6mol CO₂ / 19/2 moles O₂) = 0.375 moles of CO₂ could be produced. The mass is:
0.375 moles of CO₂ * (44.01g / mol) =
16.5g of CO₂ could be producedTo run a spectrophotometry experiment, begin by _________ the spectrophotometer and preparing the samples. Be sure to select the correct ________, then run a measurement on the _________ solution. Follow up by running measurements on _______solutions. Once data is collected, turn off the instrument, clean the area, and discard the samples.
Answer:
To run a spectrophotometry experiment, begin by warming up the spectrophotometer and preparing the samples. Be sure to select the correct wavelength, then run a measurement on the blank solution. Follow up by running measurements on sample solutions. Once data is collected, turn off the instrument, clean the area, and discard the samples.
Explanation:
The spectrophotometer is a device used in laboratories to carry out analysis in experiments that need to measure and compare the amount of light absorbed or transmitted between samples, regardless of whether the samples are transparent or opaque solid. The spectrophotometer can be single-beam and double-beam. Regardless of the nature of the beam, to perform a spectrophotometry experiment, you must start by heating the spectrophotometer and preparing the samples. Make sure to select the correct wavelength and perform a measurement on the blank solution. Follow up by performing measurements on sample solutions. Once the data is collected, turn off the instrument, clean the area and discard the samples.
An analytical chemist is titrating of a solution of ethylamine with a solution of . The of ethylamine is . Calculate the pH of the base solution after the chemist has added of the solution to it. Note for advanced students: you may assume the final volume equals the initial volume of the solution plus the volume of solution added. g
Answer:
pH=11.
Explanation:
Hello!
In this case, since the data is not given, it is possible to use a similar problem like:
"An analytical chemist is titrating 185.0 mL of a 0.7500 M solution of ethylamine(C2HNH2) with a 0.4800 M solution of HNO3.ThepK,of ethylamine is 3.19. Calculate the pH of the base solution after the chemist has added 114.4 mL of the HNO3 solution to it"
Thus, for the reaction:
[tex]C_2H_5NH_2+H^+\rightleftharpoons C_2H_5NH_4^+[/tex]
Tt is possible to compute the remaining moles of ethylamine via the following subtraction:
[tex]n_{ethylamine}=0.1850L*0.7500mol/L=0.1365mol\\\\n_{acid}=0.1144L*0.4800mol/L=0.0549mol\\\\n_{ethylamine}^{remaining}=0.1365mol-0.0549mol=0.0816mol[/tex]
Thus, the concentration of ethylamine in solution is:
[tex][ethylamine]=\frac{0.0816mol}{0.1850L+0.1144L}=0.2725M[/tex]
Now, we can also infer that some salt is formed, and has the following concentration:
[tex][salt]=\frac{0.0549mol}{0.1850L+0.1144L}=0.1834M[/tex]
Therefore, we can use the Henderson-Hasselbach equation to compute the resulting pOH first:
[tex]pOH=pKb+log(\frac{[salt]}{[base]} )\\\\pOH=3.19+log(\frac{0.1834M}{0.2725M})\\\\pOH=3.0[/tex]
Finally, the pH turns out to be:
[tex]pH=14-pOH=14-3\\\\pH=11[/tex]
NOTE: keep in mind that if you have different values, you can just change them and follow the very same process here.
Best regards!

Explanation:
A sample of 523.1 mg of impure KBr is treated with an excess of AgNO3 and 814.5 mg of AgBr is obtained. What is the purity of KBr?
Answer:
98.68%
Explanation:
Step 1: Write the balanced equation
KBr + AgNO₃ ⇒ AgBr + KNO₃
Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 814.5 mg (0.8145 g) of AgBr
The molar mass of AgBr is 187.77 g/mol.
0.8145 g × 1 mol/187.77 g = 4.338 × 10⁻³ mol
Step 3: Calculate the moles of KBr needed to produce 4.338 × 10⁻³ moles of AgBr
The molar ratio of KBr to AgBr is 1:1. The moles of KBr needed are 1/1 × 4.338 × 10⁻³ mol = 4.338 × 10⁻³ mol.
Step 4: Calculate the pure mass corresponding to 4.338 × 10⁻³ moles of KBr
The molar mass of KBr is 119.00 g/mol.
4.338 × 10⁻³ mol × 119.00 g/mol = 0.5162 g
Step 5: Calculate the purity of KBr
0.5162 g of KBr are in a 0.5231 g-sample. The purity of KBr is:
P = 0.5162 g/0.5231 g × 100% = 98.68%

It is often possible to change a hydrate into an anhydrous compound by heating it to drive off the water (dehydration). Write an equation that shows the dehydration of manganese(II) sulfate pentahydrate . Use an asterisk to enter the dot.
Answer:
MnSO4.5H2O(s) ---------> MnSO4(s) + 5H2O(g)
Explanation:
The dehydration of a hydrate implies that the water of crystallization is lost. Water of crystallization is included in the crystal structure as it is formed and is incorporated into the structure of the compound.
Now the equation for the dehydration of manganese(II) sulfate pentahydrate is;
MnSO4.5H2O(s) ---------> MnSO4(s) + 5H2O(g)
The MnSO4 is now said to be anhydrous.

If 80.0 grams of O2 reacted in above reaction ,how many grams of N2O will be produced?
Answer:
55.0125 grams NO2
Explanation:
So we have 80 grams of O2, first convert to moles
80 g O2 * 1 mol/32 g O2 = 2.5 mol O2
Next use the mole ratio of O2 to NO2
2.5 mol O2* 1 mol NO2/2 mol NO2=1.25 mol NO2
Since the question is asking how many grams, convert NO2 to grams
1.25 mol NO2 * 44.01 NO2/1 mol NO2= 55.0125 grams

Answer:
Convection
Explanation:
Convection is the circular motion that happens when warmer air or liquid — which has faster moving molecules, making it less dense — rises, while the cooler air or liquid drops down.
Same as in the case of sea breeze where the the lighter wind in surface of land rises up and the cooler wind from the sea comes to fill up that place. This is an example of convection.

(ii)Change in temperature: Action of dilute sulphuric acid on zinc. Zn(s) + H2SO4(aq) → ZnSO4(aq) + H2 In this reaction, heat is evolved (iii) Formation of precipitate: Action of barium chloride on sodium sulphate. BaCl2(aq) +Na2SO4(aq) → BaSO4(s) +2NaCl(aq) BaSO4(s)
A normal adult jawbone contains 200 mg of Carbon-14 in a living person. If scientists found a jawbone that only had 50mg of Carbon-14, how old is the bone? (The half-life of C-14 is 5730 years).
Carbon-14 is a radioisotope of carbon that decays following first-order kinetics. There are four values of interest in this problem: the "normal" (or original) amount of carbon-14 for a jawbone ([tex]\mathrm{N_0}[/tex]), the actual amount of carbon-14 in a jawbone ([tex]\mathrm{N}[/tex]), the half-life of carbon-14 ([tex]\mathrm{t_{1/2}}[/tex]), and the actual time elapsed ([tex]\mathrm{t}[/tex]) from the original time. There is an equation that ties all these values in together,
[tex]N= N_0 e^{-kt}[/tex]
where k is the rate constant, which, for first-order decay, is related to the half-life by
[tex]k = \dfrac{\ln 2}{ t_{1/2} }.[/tex]
What you want to find here is the time elapsed (t). So, you can substitute the latter equation for k into the k in the former equation to get
[tex]N= N_0 e^{\frac{-\ln 2 \;t}{t_{1/2}}.[/tex]
Rearranging to solve for t, the equation becomes
[tex]t = \left(\dfrac{\ln \dfrac{N_0}{N}}{\ln 2} \right) t_{1/2}.[/tex]
You are given all three of the values necessary to solve for t: The normal amount of carbon-14 is 200 mg; the actual amount of carbon-14 in the sample is 50 mg; and the half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 years. Plugging them into the above equation, we get
[tex]t = \left(\dfrac{\ln \dfrac{200 \text{ mg}}{50 \text{ mg}}}{\ln 2} \right) \left(5730 \text{ years} \right) = 11460 \text{ years}.[/tex]
So the jawbone found is 11460 years old (or 11000 if accounting for sig figs).
A helium balloon has a volume of 36 L. The pressure of the helium gas in the balloon is 132 kPa and its temperature is 27 degrees Celsius. How many moles of helium are in the balloon?
Answer:
[tex]n =1.905mol[/tex]
Explanation:
Hello!
In this case, by considering helium gas as an ideal one, we can use the following equation:
[tex]PV=nRT[/tex]
Whereas P should go in atmospheres and T in Kelvins; thus we proceed as follows:
[tex]n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{132kPa*\frac{1atm}{101.325kPa}*36L}{0.08206\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}(27+273)K} =1.905mol[/tex]

What is the percent composition of dinotrogen pentoxide? With work shown please
Answer:
%N = 25.94%
%O = 74.06%
Explanation:
Step 1: Calculate the mass of nitrogen in 1 mole of N₂O₅
We will multiply the molar mass of N by the number of N atoms in the formula of N₂O₅.
m(N): 2 × 14.01 g = 28.02 g
Step 2: Calculate the mass of oxygen in 1 mole of N₂O₅
We will multiply the molar mass of O by the number of O atoms in the formula of N₂O₅.
m(O): 5 × 16.00 g = 80.00 g
Step 3: Calculate the mass of 1 mole of N₂O₅
We will sum the masses of N and O.
m(N₂O₅) = m(N) + m(O) = 28.02 g + 80.00 g = 108.02 g
Step 4: Calculate the percent composition of N₂O₅
We will use the following expression.
%Element = m(Element)/m(Compound) × 100%
%N = m(N)/m(N₂O₅) × 100% = 28.02 g/108.02 g × 100% = 25.94%
%O = m(O)/m(N₂O₅) × 100% = 80.00 g/108.02 g × 100% = 74.06%
A sample of potassium has an average atomic mass of 39.0983amu. There are three isotopic forms of potassium element in the sample. About 93.2581% of the potassium atoms are 38.9637amu mass (39K); 0.0117% are 39.9639amu mass (40K), and the remaining isotope 41K is of 40.9618amu mass. Calculate the percentage composition of 41K. Report your answer with five significant figures.
Answer:
Percent Composition of 41K = 6.7302%
Explanation:
The explination is in the image.
The percentage composition of 41K isotope of potassium according to the given data is 6.7302 percent.
Composition of isotopes:Given that the atomic masses of the potassium isotopes are:
mass of 39K = 38.9637amu
mass of 40K = 39.9639amu
mass of 41K = 40.9618amu
and the percentages are:
percentage of 39K = 93.2581%
percentage of 40K = 0.0117%
percentage of 41K = x
Given average mass of potassium = 39.0983amu
sum (mass of isotopes × percentage abundance) = average mass
38.9637 × 93.2581% + 39.9639 × 0.0117% + 40.9618 × x = 39.0983
x = 6.7302%
So the percentage composition of 41K is 6.7302%

For the following reaction, 29.9 grams of sulfur dioxide are allowed to react with 6.26 grams of oxygen gas . sulfur dioxide(g) + oxygen(g) sulfur trioxide(g) What is the maximum mass of sulfur trioxide that can be formed? grams What is the FORMULA for the limiting reagent? What mass of the excess reagent remains after the reaction is complete? grams
Answer: a) The maximum mass of sulfur trioxide that can be formed is 31.4 grams
b) The FORMULA for the limiting reagent is [tex]O_2[/tex]
c) Mass of excess reagent remains is 4.8 grams
Explanation:
To calculate the moles :
[tex]\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Moles of} SO_2=\frac{29.9g}{64g/mol}=0.467moles[/tex]
[tex]\text{Moles of} O_2=\frac{6.26g}{32g/mol}=0.196moles[/tex]
[tex]2SO_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2SO_3(g)[/tex]
According to stoichiometry :
1 mole of [tex]O_2[/tex] require = 2 moles of [tex]SO_2[/tex]
Thus 0.196 moles of [tex]O_2[/tex] will require=[tex]\frac{2}{1}\times 0.196=0.392moles[/tex] of [tex]SO_2[/tex]
Thus [tex]O_2[/tex] is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and [tex]SO_2[/tex] is the excess reagent as (0.467-0.392) = 0.075 moles or [tex]0.075mol\times 64g/mol=4.8g[/tex] are left.
As 1 mole of [tex]O_2[/tex] give = 2 moles of [tex]SO_3[/tex]
Thus 0.196 moles of [tex]O_2[/tex] give =[tex]\frac{2}{1}\times 0.196=0.392moles[/tex] of [tex]SO_3[/tex]
Mass of [tex]SO_3=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.392moles\times 80g/mol=31.4g[/tex]
Thus 31.4 g of [tex]SO_3[/tex] will be produced from the given masses of both reactants.

2.hiding an object from an illumination containing diffre t wave lengths become difficult as the object sizes grow.
3. reduce the scattering by two orders.
Electromagnetic waves are unable to detect it. With increasing item sizes, it becomes more challenging to conceal an object from an illumination with various wave lengths. two orders down on the scattering.
What is current cloaking technology?
Current clocking technology is defined as a hypothetical or made-up stealth technology that makes things like people or spaceships completely or partially invisible to certain electromagnetic (EM) spectrum wavelengths. In a specific frequency band, this gadget renders an object "invisible" to electromagnetic radiation. Obviously, cloaks that operate in the visible spectrum have the most fascinating potential uses.
These metamaterials, according to the researchers, can shield a medium-sized antenna from radio waves over a wide range of bandwidths, resulting in clearer communications. However, as visible light wavelengths are far shorter than radio waves, it is practically difficult to conceal huge things from them, such as the human body. The issue with present designs is that they can only handle a certain amount of bandwidth. Even this "perfect" 3D cloak that was previously exhibited could only conceal items from microwaves.
Thus, electromagnetic waves are unable to detect it. With increasing item sizes, it becomes more challenging to conceal an object from an illumination with various wave lengths. two orders down on the scattering.

A compound is 22.5% nitrogen and 77.5% oxygen, What is the empirical formula of
this compound?
Answer:
[tex]NO_3[/tex]
Explanation:
Hello!
In this case, since percent compositions are used to set up empirical formulas when assuming those percentages are masses, we can fist compute the moles of nitrogen and oxygen in the compound as shown below:
[tex]n_N=22.5g/14.01g/mol=1.61mol\\\\n_O=77.5g/16.00g/mol=4.84mol[/tex]
Now, we divide by the fewest moles to compute the subscripts:
[tex]N=\frac{1.61}{1.61} =1\\\\O=\frac{4.84}{1.61} =3[/tex]
Thus, the empirical formula turns out:
[tex]NO_3[/tex]
