How many liters of O2 at STP will react with 8.7 grams of C2H4 to form CO2 and H2O? C2H4 + 3 O2 > 2 CO2 + 2 H2O
Pls help

2.3

The volume of O₂ : 21 L

Given

8.7 grams of C₂H₄

Required

Volume O₂

Solution

Reaction

C₂H₄ + 3 O₂ ⇒ 2 CO₂ + 2 H₂O

mol C₂H₄(MW= 28 g/mol) :

= mass : MW

= 8.7 g : 28 g/mol

= 0.311

From the equation, mol  O₂ :

= 3/1 x mol C₂H₄

= 3/1 x 0.311

= 0.933

At STP, 1 mol gas=22.4 L, so for 0.933 mol :

= 0.933 x 22.4 L

= 20.899 L ≈ 21 L

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).
