QuestionCalculate moles of ethanol needed for 0.085 mol of acetic acid from the reaction: .
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The reaction between ethanol and oxygen gas produces water and acetic acid.
. The reaction is balanced.
3. The moles of acetic acid produced is0.085 mol.
STEP 2
First, we need to write down the balanced chemical equation for the reaction. The balanced equation is
STEP 3
From the balanced chemical equation, we can see that one mole of ethanol reacts to produce one mole of acetic acid. This is a11 ratio.
STEP 4
Since the ratio of ethanol to acetic acid is11, the moles of ethanol needed to produce0.085 mol of acetic acid is also0.085 mol.
The solution is0.085 mol of ethanol.
