The total percent yield:

After the combustion reaction with methane, the percent yield was 66.7%.  

Combustion of Methane:

  • Methane produces a blue flame as it burns in the atmosphere.
  • Methane burns in the presence of enough oxygen to produce carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O).
  • It creates a significant quantity of heat during combustion, making it an excellent fuel source.

The other reactant, air's excess oxygen, is always present, making methane the limiting reactant. As a result, the amount of CH₄ burned will determine how much CO₂ and H₂O are produced.

The following chemical process produces carbon dioxide from methane:

CH₄ + 2O₂ ⇒ CO₂ + 2H₂O

Calculations:

1. <u><em>Theoretical quantity of carbon dioxide:</em></u>

All calculations will be based on the amount of methane because the problem specifies that it is the limiting reagent:

12.0g of CH₄ × (1 mol of CH₄/16g CH₄) × (1 mole of CO₂/1 mole of CH₄) × (44g CO₂/1 mole of CO₂)

= 33g of CO₂

2. <u><em>Percent yield:</em></u>

= Actual yield/Theoretical yield × 100

= 22.0g/33g × 100

= 66.7%

Find the density of a cube on Earth that weighs 1.5 kg and has a side-length of 10 cm.
Inga [223]

Answer:

1.5g/cm³

Explanation:

density=mass÷volume

mass= 1.5kg (<em>c</em><em>h</em><em>a</em><em>n</em><em>g</em><em>e</em><em> </em><em>i</em><em>n</em><em>t</em><em>o</em><em> </em><em>g</em>) = 1500g

volume of the cube = 10×10×10 = 1000cm³

density= divide 1500g÷1000cm = 1.5g/cm³

<h2>Density= 1.5g/cm³</h2>

Speed is the ratio of the distance an object moves from a reference point to
Vladimir [108]

The correct option is A.

Speed is the ratio of the distance an object moves from a reference point to  the amount of time it takes to travel the distance.

For a fixed distance, if the time required to travel the distance is less than the speed is high. However, if time to cover the same amount of distance is more than the speed is low. Therefore, the measurement of speed distance and time has an inverse relationship.
