Study Notes
Balancing Chemical Equations
- Ethene (C2H4) combustion reaction: C2H4 + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 2H2O
- Balanced equation ensures equal number of atoms for each element on both sides.
Calculation of Water Production from Ethene
- The molar mass of ethene (C2H4) is 28g.
- Oxygen (O2) has a molar mass of 32g; therefore, 3O2 has a mass of 96g.
- Carbon dioxide (CO2) has a molar mass of 44g, and water (H2O) has a molar mass of 18g.
- Total mass in the balanced equation: 28g (C2H4) + 96g (O2) → 88g (CO2) + 36g (H2O).
Water Production Calculation from Ethene
- To find the mass of water produced from 11g of C2H4, use the ratio from the balanced equation:
- Calculation: [36g (H2O) / 28g (C2H4)] × 11g (C2H4) = 29.79g of H2O.
- Therefore, the combustion of 11g of ethene yields approximately 29.79g of water.
