If 85.0 grams of ethanol reacts, how many grams of carbon dioxide are produced?

162.4g of CO2 are produced

Explanation:

The combustion of ethanol, C2H5OH, occurs as follows:

2C2H5OH + 7O2 → 4CO2 + 6H2O

Where 2 moles of C2H5OH produce 4 moles of CO2.

To solve this question we need to convert the mass of ethanol to moles. Then, the moles of ethanol to moles of CO2 using the balanced reaction and to mass:

Moles C2H5OH -Molar mass: 46.07g/mol-

85.0g * (1mol / 46.07g) = 1.845 moles C2H5OH

Moles CO2:

1.845 moles C2H5OH * (4mol CO2 / 2mol C2H5OH) = 3.69 moles CO2

Mass CO2-Molar mass: 44.01g/mol-:

3.69 moles CO2 * (44.01g/mol) =

explanation:

the largest database of organic compounds lists about 10 million substances, which include compounds originating from living organisms and those synthesized by chemists. the number of potential organic compounds has been estimated at 1060—an astronomically high number. the existence of so many organic molecules is a consequence of the ability of carbon atoms to form up to four strong bonds to other carbon atoms, resulting in chains and rings of many different sizes, shapes, and complexities. the simplest organic compounds contain only the elements carbon and hydrogen, and are called hydrocarbons. even though they are composed of only two types of atoms, there is a wide variety of hydrocarbons because they may consist of varying lengths of chains, branched chains, and rings of carbon atoms, or combinations of these structures. in addition, hydrocarbons may differ in the types of carbon-carbon bonds present in their molecules. many hydrocarbons are found in plants, animals, and their fossils; other hydrocarbons have been prepared in the laboratory. we use hydrocarbons every day, mainly as fuels, such as natural gas, acetylene, propane, butane, and the principal components of gasoline, diesel fuel, and heating oil. the familiar plastics polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene are also hydrocarbons. we can distinguish several types of hydrocarbons by differences in the bonding between carbon atoms. this leads to differences in geometries and in the hybridization of the carbon orbitals.
