Amount of water produced is 8.6778 grams.

Explanation:

To calculate the amount of water produced, we first need to find the limiting reagent and for it we need to find the number of moles. To calculate the moles, we use the following equation:

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

Moles of

Given mass of C_2H_6 = 7 grams

Molar mass of C_2H_6 = 30 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{7g}{30g/mol}=0.2333moles$

Moles of

Given mass of O_2 = 18 grams

Molar mass of O_2 = 32 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{18g}{32g/mol}=0.5625moles$

For the given chemical reaction, the equation follows:

$2C_2H_6+7O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+6H_2O$

By Stoichiometry:

7 moles of oxygen reacts with 2 moles of ethane.

So, 0.0261 moles of lead nitrate are produced by = $\frac{2}{7}\times 0.5625=0.1607moles$ of ethane.

As, the required amount of ethane is less than the given amount. Hence, it is considered as the excess reagent.

Oxygen gas is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

7 moles of oxygen gas produces 6 moles of water.

So, 0.5625 moles of oxygen gas will produce = $\frac{6}{7}\times 0.5625=0.4821moles$ of water.

Now, to calculate the mass of water produced, we use equation 1.

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Moles of water produced = 0.4821 moles

Putting values in the equation, we get:

$0.4821mol=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{18g/mol}$

Mass of water produced = 8.6778 grams.

Hence, amount of water produced is 8.6778 grams.

Answer from: Quest

in chemistry, adhesion and cohesion are attractive forces that exist between molecules. they hold the molecules together from each other. they are different in that adhesive force exists between molecules of different substance while cohesive force happens between molecules of same substance.

adhesion between water and glass causes water molecules at the edge of water and glass interface to climb up the wall in a narrow glass tube. this is called capillary action. cohesion is what gives glass its shape and causes water to form a droplet.
