3. How many grams H20 are produced when 35.8 g C3H8 react by the following equation? C3H8(g) + 5O2(g)  -->  3CO2(g) + 4H2O(g)

Explanation

When 35.8 g of C3H8 react according to the given equation, the stoichiometry of the equation tells us that 4 moles of H2O are produced for every mole of C3H8. To find the mass of H2O produced, we need to convert the mass of C3H8 to moles using its molar mass, and then use the mole ratio to find the moles of H2O produced. Finally, we can convert the moles of H2O to grams using the molar mass of H2O. The calculation yields a mass of 58.5 g H2O.

19. A blood sample has a pH of 7.42. What is the concentration of hydroxide in this solution?

Explanation

The concentration of hydroxide in a solution can be determined using the equation Kw = [H+][OH-], where Kw is the ion product constant for water. Since the pH of the blood sample is 7.42, the concentration of hydrogen ions ([H+]) can be calculated using the formula pH = -log[H+]. By taking the negative logarithm of 7.42, we can find that [H+] is approximately 2.63 x 10^-8 M. Since Kw is a constant, we can divide it by [H+] to find the concentration of hydroxide ([OH-]), which is approximately 2.63 x 10^-7 M.

26. What is the pH of a solution with a [-OH] of 4.1 x 10^-3 M?

Explanation

The pH of a solution is a measure of its acidity or alkalinity. It is calculated using the formula pH = -log[H+]. In this case, we are given the concentration of hydroxide ions [OH-]. To find the pH, we need to convert the concentration of hydroxide ions to the concentration of hydrogen ions [H+]. Since water dissociates into equal amounts of hydroxide and hydrogen ions, we can assume that the concentration of hydrogen ions is also 4.1 x 10^-3 M. Taking the negative logarithm of this concentration gives us a pH value of 11.6.

29. The blanaced chemical equation for the combustion of propane (C3H8) is given below. How many grams of carbon dioxide (CO2) are released when 35g of propane are burned in the presence of excess oxygen? (C3H8) + 5(O2)   -->   3(CO2) + 4(H2O)

Explanation

When 35g of propane are burned, according to the balanced chemical equation, 3 moles of carbon dioxide (CO2) are produced for every 1 mole of propane (C3H8) burned. The molar mass of propane is 44 g/mol, so 35g of propane is equivalent to 35/44 moles of propane. Therefore, the number of moles of carbon dioxide produced is 3 * (35/44) = 2.386 moles. The molar mass of carbon dioxide is 44 g/mol, so the mass of 2.386 moles of carbon dioxide is 2.386 * 44 = 105 g. Therefore, 105 g of carbon dioxide are released when 35g of propane are burned.
