Title: Chemistry question
Post by: TalkerBoom Hsha on Jan 21, 2023
The alcohol in "gasohol" burns according to the following equation:
C2H5OH (l) + 3 O2 (g)   2 CO2 (g) + 3 H2O (l)
a) What is the theoretical yield of carbon dioxide when 12.5 g of ethanol, C2H5OH, reacts with 35.0 g of oxygen?
b) What is the percentage yield for this reaction if the actual yield is 20.5 g of CO2?
