Ethanol (C 2H 6O, molar mass 46.07 g/mol) is synthesized by reacting ethylene (C 2H 4, molar mass 28.05 g/mol) with water. How many grams of ethanol are formed from 14 g of ethylene?
Added by Nicol-S R.
Step 1
The reaction between ethylene (C2H4) and water (H2O) to produce ethanol (C2H6O) can be represented by the balanced chemical equation: \[ \text{C}_2\text{H}_4 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{C}_2\text{H}_6\text{O} \] Show more…

Ethylene gas, $\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{4},$ reacts with water at high temperature to yield ethyl alcohol, $\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{6} \mathrm{O}$ . (a) How many grams of ethylene are needed to react with 0.133 mol of $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$ ? How many grams of ethyl alcohol will result? (b) How many grams of water are needed to react with 0.371 mol of ethylene? How many grams of ethyl alcohol will result?
How many grams of ethanol, C2H5OH, can be produced by reacting 5.0 g of water with 2.5 g of ethylene, C2H4, given the reaction: C2H4 + H2O = C2H5OH ?
