Antifreeze is used in car engines. It is produced by a local manufacturer, but they’ve run out of an ingredient: ethane (C2H6). As a junior scientist, you know you can produce ethane by reacting sulfuric acid with diethyl zinc gas. The local manufacturer will pay $1.25 per gram of ethane you produce. If you have 45.00 mL of 8.00 M H2SO4 and 30.00 mL of Zn(CH3CH2)2, what is the maximum amount of money you can make?

Maximum amount of money = $21.95

Explanation:

Required reaction:

H2SO4 + Zn(CH3CH2)2 > 2 C2H6 + ZnSO4

No.of moles of H2SO4= (45 x 10-3 L) x (8 M) = 0.360 mol

No.of moles of Zn(CH3CH2)2 = (30 x 1.205) / (123.50 g/mol) = 0.2927 mol

Here H2SO4 is in excess amount and Zn(CH3CH2)2is the limiting reagent.

Hence, Maximum no.of moles of ethane that can be produced = 2 * 0.2927 mol = 0.484 mol

Hence, Mass of ethane that can be produced = 0.484 mol x 30 g/mol = 17.56 g

Therefore,Maximum amount of money that you can make :

Maximum amount of money = (17.56 g) x ($1.25 /g)

Maximum amount of money = $21.95

the earth would become to overheated and everything alive on it will eventually die from overheating. plants will eventually die as well, water will evaporate, and it will be nothing but a hot planet without anything living on it.
