Wine goes bad soon after opening because the ethanol (ch, ch, oh) in it reacts with oxygen gas (0.) from the air to form water (110) and acetic acid (ch, cooh), the main ingredient of vinegar. what mass of water is produced by the reaction of 4.59 g of ethanol be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

The mass of water produced is 1.8 grams

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

     .....(1)

Given mass of ethanol = 4.59 g

Molar mass of ethanol = 46.07 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

The chemical equation for the reaction of ethanol with oxygen gas follows:

By Stoichiometry of the reaction;

1 mole of ethanol produces 1 mole of water.

So, 0.0996 moles of ethanol will produce = of water.

Now, calculating the mass of water from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Moles of water = 0.0996 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

Hence, the mass of water produced is 1.8 grams

? you expect us to answer this? ? this is your schoolwork, i don't think we can with this, i think it would considering being

in 1783 cavendish was working with his hydrogen gas and found that when he burned it and condensed the vapor it was water. this was very significant since it disproved the greek theory of elements completely since water was not a simple substance but the product of two gases. it was lavoisier who hearing of the experiment gave cavendish's gas the name hydrogen ("water-producer") and added that hydrogen burned by combining with oxygen and that water was a hydrogen-oxygen combination.
