The balanced equation will be $CH_4 + 2O_2 --- > CO_2 + 2H_2O$

<h3>Stoichiometric problems</h3>

The balanced equation of the reaction would be as follows:

$CH_4 + 2O_2 --- > CO_2 + 2H_2O$

The mole ratio of methane to carbon dioxide is 1:1.

10 grams of methane will give 10/16 = 0.625 moles

0.625 moles of carbon dioxide would give 0.625 x 44.01 = 27.506 grams.

Thus, 10 grams of methane will produce approximately 27 grams of carbon dioxide stoichiometrically.

The reaction obeys the law of conservation of mass because the atoms of all the elements before and after the reaction are balanced.

Answer:

<h3> $\huge{ \underline{ \underline { \bold{ \sf{ \orange{See \: below}}}}}}$ </h3>

Explanation:

▪️ $\underline{ \bold{ \sf{ \blue{Chemical \: reaction}}}}$

⇒The composition , decomposition or displacement of molecules of matter during chemical change is called chemical reaction.

▪️ $\underline{ \bold{ \sf{ \purple{ \: Further \: more \: explanation}}}}$

Various conditions bring about these changes. The chemical reactions are represented by chemicalequation. The compounds or elements that take part in chemical reaction are called reactant. They are written at the left side of an arrow that represent a change while the compound or elements that formed after the chemical change are called product. They are written at the right side of the arrow.

▪️ $\underline{ \bold{ \sf{ \purple{For \: example}}}}$

Tema [17]

Answer: In order to increase the rate of reaction between hydrochloric acid and sugar increase the concentration of hydrochloric acid to 2 M because greater concentration results in more collision between the reactants.

Explanation:

More is the concentration of reactant molecules more will be the number of collisions between their molecules. As a result, more readily the products will be formed.

Hence, for the given reaction when concentration of HCl is increased then there will be increase in the number of collisions between reactants.

Thus, we can conclude that in order to increase the rate of reaction between hydrochloric acid and sugar increase the concentration of hydrochloric acid to 2 M because greater concentration results in more collision between the reactants.

Which statement is true for a solution when its concentration of hydroxide ions increases? It becomes more acidic. It becomes le

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

Its pH value increases.

Explanation:

pH is the measure of alkalinity or acidity of a compound.

pH = - log [H+]

and pH + pOH = 14

where pOH is the measure of basicity of a solution, given by -log[OH-]

As a solution gets more basic that is higher [OH-], the pH increases, and on the other hand, as the pH of a solution decreases by one pH unit, the concentration of H+ increases by ten times.

Methane and water react to form hydrogen and carbon monoxide, like this:

Usimov [2.4K]

Based on Le Chatelier's principle, if a system at equilibrium is disturbed by changes in the temperature, pressure or concentration, then the equilibrium will shift in a direction to undo the effect of the induced change.

The given reaction is endothermic i.e, heat is supplied:

CH4(g) + H2O (g) + heat ↔ 3H2(g) + CO(g)

a) When the temperature is lowered, heat is being removed from the system. The reaction will move in a direction to produce more heat i.e. to the left.

Hence, the pressure of CH4 will increase and equilibrium will shift to the left

b) When the temperature is raised, heat is being added to the system. The reaction will move in a direction to consume the added heat i.e. to the right.

Hence, the pressure of CO will increase and equilibrium will shift to the right
