Refer to the following unbalanced equation: C6H14+ O2 → CO2 + H20
What mass of oxygen (O2) is required to react completely
with 25.0 g of CoH14?

Mass of Oxygen (O₂) : = 88.16 g

Given

Reaction(unbalanced)

C₆H₁₄+ O₂ → CO₂ + H₂0

25 g C₆H₁₄

Required

mass of oxygen (O₂)

Solution

Balanced equation

2C₆H₁₄ + 19O₂ ⇒12 CO₂ + 14 H₂O

mol C₆H₁₄ (MW=86,18 g/mol) :

= mass : MW

= 25 g : 86.18 g/mol

= 0.29

From the equation, mol ratio of C₆H₁₄ : O₂ = 2 : 19, so mol O₂ :

= 19/2 x mol C₆H₁₄

= 19/2 x 0.29

= 2.755

Mass O₂(MW=32 g/mol) :

= 2.755 x 32

= 88.16 g

acid rain does not usually kill trees directly. instead, it is more likely to weaken the trees by damaging their leaves, limiting the nutrients available to them, or poisoning them with toxic substances slowly released from the soil. the main atmospheric pollutants that affect trees are nitrates and sulphates.

each chemical family is represented as a group or column on the periodic table. based on chemical properties, there are 6 types of chemical families. group 1 represents alkali metals, group 2 represents alkaline earth metals, groups 3 to 12 represent transition metals, groups 13 to 16 represent non-metals and other metals, group 17 represents halogens and group 18 represents noble gases.
