12. The combustion of liquid chloroethylene, C2H3Cl, yields carbon dioxide, steam, and hydrogen chloride gas.
a. Write a balanced equation for the reaction
. b. How many moles of oxygen are required to react with 35.00 g of chloroethylene?
c. If 25.00 g of chloroethylene react with an excess amount of oxygen, how many grams of each product are formed?
Could someone help me with this question thanks!
a) The balanced reaction is given below
b) 1 mole of chloroethylene reacts with 2.5 moles of oxygen
Molar mass of chloroethylene = 2 * 12 + 3 * 1 + 35.5 = 62.5 gm/mol
Number of moles of chloroethylene = 35/62.5 = 0.56 moles
Moles of O2 gas = 2.5 * 0.56 = 1.4 moles
c) Number of moles of chloroethylene = 25/62.5 = 0.4
Moles of CO2 formed = 2 * 0.4 = 0.8 moles
Moles of H2O formed = Moles of HCl formed = 0.4 moles
Mass of CO2 formed = 0.8 * 44 = 35.2 gms
Mass of H2O formed = 0.4 * 18 = 7.2 gms
Mass of HCl formed = 0.4 * 36.5 = 14.6 gms
