How many grams of H2O can be made from the combustion of 3.75 liters of C7H14 and an excess of O2 at STP?

21.10g of H2O

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

2C7H14 + 21O2 —> 14CO2 + 14H2O

From the balanced equation above, 2L of C7H14 produced 14L of H2O.

Therefore, 3.75L of C7H14 will produce = (3.75 x 14)/2 = 26.25L of H2O.

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of H2O that will occupy 26.25L at stp. This is illustrated below:

1 mole of a gas occupy 22.4L at stp

Therefore, Xmol of H2O will occupy

26.25L i.e

Xmol of H2O = 26.25/22.4

Xmol of H2O = 1.172 mole

Therefore, 1.172 mole of H2O is produced from the reaction.

Next, we shall convert 1.172 mole of H2O to grams. This is illustrated below:

Number of mole H2O = 1.172 mole

Molar mass of H2O = (2x1) + 16 = 18g/mol

Mass of H2O =..?

Mass = mole x molar mass

Mass of H2O = 1.172 x 18

Mass of H2O = 21.10g

Therefore, 21.10g of H2O is produced from the reaction.

answer: -

reaction:

na + cl ⇌ nacl

balanced chemical equation:

na + 2cl ⇌ nacl2

sodium + clorine goes to form sodium chloride (table salt).

the product is nacl2.

and the reactants are na and cl.

(note: if you don’t know what ⇌ means, read below: -

⇌(double head arrow) means reversible reaction).
