Hi! I am unsure of how to solve this problem. Thank you!
(Record your answer with rounded answer to proper significant digits and the proper units.) 1.How many moles of butane (C4H10(g)) were combusted in the presence of excess oxygen gas if 55.8 L of water vapour at STP is collected?Hint: Write a balanced chemical reaction equation first. 2.One of the steps to sweeten sour gas using the Claus process is reacting hydrogen sulfide gas with sulfur dioxide gas to produce water vapour and sulfur. 16H2S(g)+8SO2(g)----->16H2O(g)+3S8(s) 8.75 kL of hydrogen sulfide at 175 kPa and 250 °C reacts with excess sulfur dioxide. Calculate the mass, in kg, of sulfur produced.
Solid potassium chlorate, KCIO3, decomposes upon heating to form potassium chloride and oxygen gas. Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction. The volume of oxygen that would form at standard temperature and pressure if 0.456 g KCIO3 decomposes is mL. Answer must be verified.
A sample of propane is placed in a closed vessel together with an amount of O2 that is 3.05 times the amount needed to completely oxidize the propane to CO2 and H2O at constant temperature. Calculate the mole fraction of each component in the resulting mixture after oxidation assuming the H2O is a gas.
A 4.10 g sample of an unknown compound containing only C , H , and O combusts in an oxygen‑rich environment. When the products have cooled to 20.0 °C at 1 bar, there are 4.54 L of CO2 and 3.36 mL of H2O. The density of water at 20.0 °C is 0.998 g/mL. What is the empirical formula of the unknown compound? If the molar mass is 132.2 g/mol132.2 g/mol , what is the molecular formula of the compound?
A student experimentally determines the gas law constant, R, by reacting a small piece of magnesium with excess hydrochloric acid and then collecting the hydrogen gas over water in a eudiometer. Based L-atm on experimentally collected data, the student calculates R to equal 0.0832 mol·K L-atm Ideal gas law constant from literature: 0.08206 mol·K (a) Determine the percent error for the student's R-value. Percent error = % (b) For the statements below, identify the possible source(s) of error for this student's trial. The student notices a large air bubble in the eudiometer after collecting the hydrogen gas, but does not dislodge it. The student does not clean the zinc metal with sand paper. The student does not equilibrate the water levels within the eudiometer and the beaker at the end of the reaction. The water level in the eudiometer is 1-inch above the water level in the beaker. The student uses the barometric pressure for the lab to calculate R.
Space probes to Mars have shown that its atmosphere consists mostly of carbon dioxide. The average temperature on the surface of Mars is –55°C with a pressure of 0.00634 atm. Compare the density of CO2 on Mars’s surface with that on the Earth’s surface at 20°C and one atmosphere. (density on mars/density on earth=blank/1)
lithium reacts with H2O to produce hydrogen.(a) Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction, using the smallest integer coefficients possible. Write states in brackets.
