Gaseous ethane will react with gaseous oxygen to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water . Suppose 9.32 g of ethane is mixed with 12. g of oxygen. Calculate the minimum mass of ethane that could be left over by the chemical reaction. Round your answer to significant digits

2 C2H6 + 7 O2 = 4 CO2 + 6 H2O

There will remain 8.06 grams of ethane

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of ethane = 9.32 grams

Mass of oxygen = 12.0 grams

Molar mass ethane = 30.07 g/mol

Molar mass oxygen = 32.00 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

2 C2H6 + 7 O2 → 4 CO2 + 6 H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles ethane

Moles ethane = mass ethane / molar mass ethane

Moles ethane = 9.32 grams / 30.07 g/mol

Moles ethane = 0.3099 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles oxygen

Moles oxygen = 12.0 grams / 32.0 g/mol

Moles oxygen = 0.375 moles

Step 5: Calculate the limiting reactant

For 2 moles ethane we need 7 moles O2 to produce 4 moles CO2 and 6 moles H2O

O2 is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed ( 0.375 moles)

Ethane is in excess. There will react 2/7 * 0.375 = 0.107 moles

There will remain 0.375 - 0.107 = 0.268 moles

Step 6: Calculate mass ethane

Mass ethane = moles ethane * molar mass ethane

Mass ethane = 0.268 moles * 30.07 g/mol

Mass ethane = 8.06 grams

There will remain 8.06 grams of ethane

answer: any goods being imported from another country may be subject to issued by the federal government are tariffs

explanation:  

tariffs are a tax on anything that are imported from abroad. government use them to protect and boost their local industries and the thought is that they encourage consumers to buy local instead of importing and they will hope will protect jobs and economy in the country that implements them
