With the given formula, we can calculate the amount of CO₂ using the balance equation but we first need the moles of CH₄
1) to find the moles of CH₄, we need to use the ideal gas formula (PV= nRT). if we solve for n, we solve for the moles of CH₄, and then we can convert to CO₂. Remember that the units put in this formula depending on the R value units. I remember 0.0821 which means pressure (P) has to be in atm, volume (V) in liters, the amount (n) in moles, and temperature (T) in kelvin.
PV= nRT
P= 1.00 atm
V= 32.0 Liters
n= ?
R= 0.0821 atm L/mol K
T= 25 C= 298 K
let plug the values into the formula.
(1.00 x 32.0 L)= n x 0.0821 x 298K
n= (1.00 x 32.0 L )/ (0.0821 x 298)= 1.31 moles CH₄
2) now let's convert the mole of CH₄ to moles to CO₂ using the balance equation
1.31 mol CH₄ (1 mol CO₂/ 1 mol CH₄)= 1.31 mol CO₂
3) Now let's convert from moles to grams using the molar mass of CO₂ (find the mass of each atom in the periodic table and add them)
molar mass CO₂= 12.00 + (2 x 16.0)= 44.0 g/mol
1.31 mol CO₂ ( 44.0 g/ 1 mol)= 57.6 g CO₂
Note: let me know if you any question.
I believe it is a solution but I am not Shure
Well, when an atom attains a stable valence electron, it means that the outer electrons are complete and so cannot attain any more electrons. For the first shell, it is complete when it has 2 electrons, the second shell is complete when it has 8 electrons, all the other shells also have a particular number when complete. Anyway, i believe the answer is HYDROGEN because when HYDROGEN combines with another atom of HYDROGEN, the outer shell is completed. This is because HYDROGEN has only 1 electron. If the two HYDROGENS, which both have 1 electron combine, they make the electrons 2, which is complete for the first shell, HYDROGEN ends in the first shell. Since the electrons become 2, the shell is at stable valence. In all the other options, this happens;
NEON- It has 10 electrons, 2 in the first shell and 8 in the second. So the the shells are already complete, so it can't bond with any thing, which is completely against the question.
RADON- Radon has 86 electrons.
HELIUM- Helium has 2 electrons, so the shell is already full, and cannot bond, so it goes against the question. The question says BY BONDING.
So the answer is definitely 4) HYDROGEN
Hope i helped. Have a nice day, by the way, i'm very sure it's hydrogen.
