If 209g of ethanol are used up in a combustion process, calculator the volume of oxygen used for the combustion at stp​ help plzz

a) The volume of oxygen used for combustion at STP is approximately 305 dm³

b) The volume of gas released during combustion at STP is approximately 508 dm³

Explanation:

The given chemical reaction equation for the burning of ethanol in air, is presented as follows;

2CH₃CH₂OH (l) + 6O₂ (g) → 4CO₂ (g) + 6H₂O

The mass of ethanol used up in the combustion process, m = 209 g

The molar mass of ethanol, MM = 46.06844 g/mol∴

The number of moles of ethanol in the reaction, n = m/MM

∴ n = 209 g/(46.06844 g/mol) ≈ 4.537 moles

a) Given that 2 moles of ethanol, CH₃CH₂OH reacts with 6 moles of oxygen gas molecules, O₂, 4.54 moles of ethanol will react with (6/2) × 4.537 = 13.611  moles of oxygen

The volume occupied by one mole os gas at STP = 22.4 dm³

The volume occupied by the 13.611 moles of oxygen gas at STP, 'V', is given as follows;

V = 13.611 mol × 22.4 dm³/mole = 304.8864 dm³ ≈ 305 dm³

The volume occupied by the 13.611 moles of oxygen gas at STP, V = The volume of oxygen used for the combustion ≈ 305 dm³

b) The total number of moles of gases released in the reaction, is given as follows;

The total number of moles = (4.537/2) × (4 + 6) = 22.685 moles of gas

The total volume of gas released, = The volume of gas released during the combustion at STP = 22.685 moles × 22.4 dm³/mole = 508.144 dm³ ≈ 508 dm³

it would be a. excessive network collisions or d. slow connectivity between devices those would be my answer.
