Answer to Question #248603 in General Chemistry for grey tyrant

Question

Turpentine, a hydrocarbon commonly used as paint thinner, burst into a flame when warmed and placed in contact with chlorine

C10H16 + 8Cl2 → 10C + 16HCl

How many moles of HCl are form from 0.025 mole of C10H16?

How many moles of Cl2 are required to react with 3.6 g C10H16?

Calculate the mass of C produced when the amount of C10H16 given above in (c) react with Cl2?

Calculate the number of C atoms produced in (d).

Answer 1

Mole ratio HCl: C10H16

= 16:1

0.025

= 0.025× 16

= 0.4mol
