Is this correct
How many grams of C2H5OH are used up when 6.25 grams of O2 react according to the following equation?
C2H5OH + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 3H2O
6.25 grams of O2
6.25 / 32 moles = .195 moles
The equation requires 1 mole of C2H5OH for every 3 moles of O2.
1/3 of .195 moles of C2H5OH will be used = .065 moles.
The molecular weight of C2H5OH is 2*14 + 6*1 + 1 *16 = 50
.065 moles is 3.25 grams.
correct.
Yes, your calculations are correct.
To find out how many grams of C2H5OH are used up when 6.25 grams of O2 react, you first convert the mass of O2 to moles by dividing it by the molar mass of O2 (32 g/mol).
6.25 grams of O2 / 32 g/mol = 0.195 moles of O2
Next, you use the stoichiometry of the balanced equation to determine the moles of C2H5OH consumed. According to the equation, for every 3 moles of O2, 1 mole of C2H5OH is consumed.
0.195 moles of O2 * (1 mole C2H5OH / 3 moles O2) = 0.065 moles of C2H5OH
Finally, you convert the moles of C2H5OH to grams using its molar mass:
0.065 moles of C2H5OH * 50 g/mol = 3.25 grams of C2H5OH
So, when 6.25 grams of O2 react, 3.25 grams of C2H5OH are used up according to the given equation.
Yes, your calculation is correct.
To find the number of grams of C2H5OH used up, you first need to calculate the number of moles of O2 used.
Given:
Mass of O2 = 6.25 grams
Molar mass of O2 = 32 grams/mol
Calculations:
Moles of O2 = Mass of O2 / Molar mass of O2
= 6.25 grams / 32 grams/mol
≈ 0.195 moles
Next, you need to determine the stoichiometric ratio between C2H5OH and O2 using the balanced equation:
C2H5OH + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 3H2O
From the equation, it is clear that 1 mole of C2H5OH reacts with 3 moles of O2.
Therefore, the moles of C2H5OH used = Moles of O2 * (1 mole of C2H5OH / 3 moles of O2)
= 0.195 moles * (1/3)
≈ 0.065 moles
Finally, to find the mass of C2H5OH used, you can convert the moles to grams using the molar mass of C2H5OH:
Molar mass of C2H5OH = (2 * molar mass of C) + (6 * molar mass of H) + (1 * molar mass of O)
= (2 * 12.01) + (6 * 1.01) + (1 * 16.00)
= 46.07 grams/mol
Mass of C2H5OH used = Moles of C2H5OH * Molar mass of C2H5OH
= 0.065 moles * 46.07 grams/mol
≈ 3.25 grams
Therefore, approximately 3.25 grams of C2H5OH are used up when 6.25 grams of O2 react.
