Taking into account the reaction stoichiometry, 10.93 grams of CO₂ are formed when 8.50 g of methane react with 15.9 g of O₂.

<h3>Reaction stoichiometry</h3>

In first place, the balanced reaction is:

CH₄ + 2 O₂  → CO₂ + 2 H₂O

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

  • CH₄: 1 mole
  • O₂: 2 moles
  • CO₂:  1 mole
  • H₂O: 2 moles

The molar mass of the compounds is:

  • CH₄: 16 g/mole
  • O₂: 32 g/mole
  • CO₂:  44 g/mole
  • H₂O: 18 g/mole

Then, by reaction stoichiometry, the following mass quantities of each compound participate in the reaction:

  • CH₄: 1 mole ×16 g/mole= 16 grams
  • O₂: 2 moles ×32 g/mole= 64 grams
  • CO₂:  1 mole ×44 g/mole= 44 grams
  • H₂O: 2 moles ×18 g/mole=36 grams

<h3>Limiting reagent</h3>

The limiting reagent is one that is consumed first in its entirety, determining the amount of product in the reaction. When the limiting reagent is finished, the chemical reaction will stop.

<h3>Limiting reagent in this case</h3>

To determine the limiting reagent, it is possible to use a simple rule of three as follows: if by stoichiometry 16 grams of CH₄ reacts with 64 grams of O₂, 8.50 grams of CH₄ reacts with how much mass of O₂?

mass of O_{2} =\frac{8.50 grams of CH_{4}x64 grams of O_{2} }{16grams of CH_{4}}

mass of O₂= 34 grams

But 34 grams of O₂ are not available, 15.9 grams are available. Since you have less mass than you need to react with 8.50 grams of CH₄, O₂ will be the limiting reagent.

<h3>Mass of CO₂ formed</h3>

The following rule of three can be applied: if by reaction stoichiometry 64 grams of O₂ form 44 grams of CO₂, 15.9 grams of O₂ form how much mass of CO₂?

mass of CO_{2} =\frac{15.9 grams of O_{2}x44 grams of CO_{2} }{64grams of O_{2}}

<u><em>mass of CO₂= 10.93 grams</em></u>

Then, 10.93 grams of CO₂ are formed when 8.50 g of methane react with 15.9 g of O₂.

At 500 K in the presence of a copper surface , ethanoldecomposes according to the equation
klio [65]

Answer:

Explanation:

rate of reaction

= -ve change in pressure of ethanol / time

= - (250 -237 )/100 = - 13 / 100 torr/s

= - 0.13 torr/s

next

- (237 - 224 )/100 = - 13 / 100 torr/s

= - .13 torr/s

next

- (224 - 211 )/100 = - 13 / 100 torr/s

= - .13 torr/s

so on

So rate of reaction is constant and it does not depend upon concentration or pressure of reactant .

So order of reaction is zero.

rate of reaction =K  [C₂H₅OH]⁰

K is rate constant

K = .13 torr/s

In 900 s decrease in pressure

= 900 x .13 = 117

So after 900s , pressure of ethanol will be

250 - 117 = 133 torr
