The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Liquid hexane reacts with gaseous oxygen gas to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water. If 9.90 g of carbon dioxide is produced from the reaction of 4.31 g of hexane and 26.9 g of oxygen gas, calculate the percent yield of carbon dioxide. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits in it.

The percent yield of carbon dioxide is 75.0 %

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For hexane:

Given mass of hexane = 4.31 g

Molar mass of hexane = 86.2 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of hexane}=\frac{4.31g}{86.2g/mol}=0.05mol$

For oxygen gas:

Given mass of oxygen gas = 26.9 g

Molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of oxygen gas}=\frac{26.9g}{32g/mol}=0.841mol$

The chemical equation for the combustion of hexane follows:

$2C_6H_{14}(l)+19O_2(g)\rightarrow 12CO_2(g)+14H_2O(g)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of hexane reacts with 19 moles of oxygen gas

So, 0.05 moles of hexane will react with = of oxygen gas

As, given amount of oxygen gas is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, hexane is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of hexane produces 12 moles of carbon dioxide gas

So, 0.05 moles of hexane will produce = $\frac{12}{2}\times 0.05=0.3moles$ of carbon dioxide gas

Now, calculating the mass of carbon dioxide from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Moles of carbon dioxide = 0.3 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.3mol=\frac{\text{Mass of carbon dioxide}}{44g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of carbon dioxide}=(0.3mol\times 44g/mol)=13.2g$

To calculate the percentage yield of carbon dioxide, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Experimental yield of carbon dioxide = 9.90 g

Theoretical yield of carbon dioxide = 13.2 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ yield of carbon dioxide}=\frac{9.90g}{13.2g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of carbon dioxide}=75.0\%$

Hence, the percent yield of the carbon dioxide is 75.0 %.

hope this !

Answer from: Quest

the answer is b because, investigating whether another species of moth also drinks tears might be interesting, but it would not directly explain why this species of moth does.

to explain why this species of moth drinks tears, the scientist could ask: "what nutrients that moths need are in elephant tears? "

the scientist could experiment with moth repellent or oter ways to keep the moths away, but that would not answer his original question.

Darla claims that the first periodic table developed by mendeleev was not completely accurate, so it is not useful at all. harmony argues that it establish the periodic table we use today, making it more credible. who is correct and why? darla is correct, because a model that has any mistakes should be thrown out. darla is correct, because a good model would not need to change. harmony is correct, because mendeleev’s model had all of the information correct in the first version. harmony is correct, because mendeleev’s model made predictions that came true.

Nanotechnology, the field of trying to build ultrasmall structures one atom at a time, has progressed in recent years. one potential application of nanotechnology is the construction of artificial cells. the simplest cells would probably mimic red blood cells, the body's oxygen transporters. for example, nanocontainers, perhaps constructed of carbon, could be pumped full of oxygen and injected into a person's bloodstream. if the person needed additional oxygen-due to a heart attack perhaps, or for the purpose of space travel-these containers could slowly release oxygen into the blood, allowing tissues that would otherwise die to remain alive. suppose that the nanocontainers were cubic and had an edge length of 24 nanometers. part a part complete what is the volume of one nanocontainer? (ignore the thickness of the nanocontainer's wall.) express your answer using two significant figures. v v = 1.4ă—10â’20 l previous answers correct significant figures feedback: your answer 1.3824â‹…10â’20 = 1.382ă—10â’20 l was either rounded differently or used a different number of significant figures than required for this part. if you need this result for any later calculation in this item, keep all the digits and round as the final step before submitting your answer. part b suppose that each nanocontainer could contain pure oxygen pressurized to a density of 81 g/l . how many grams of oxygen could be contained by each nanocontainer?
