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%

Which of the following elements is the smallest?
Oliga [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The atomic radius of elements are used to estimate the sizes of elements. The atomic radius is taken as half of the inter-nuclear distance between two covalently bonded atoms of non-metallic elements or half of the distance between two nuclei in the solid state of metals.

To solve this problem we will obtain the atomic radius values of the given elements from a standard atomic radius table;

          Si          111 pm

           P          98 pm

          Cl          79 pm

            S           87pm

pm = picometer

We see that chlorine has the least atomic radius

Will bromine react with sodium and why?
Archy [21]

<span><span>When you write down the electronic configuration of bromine and sodium, you get this

Na:
Br: </span></span>

<span><span />So here we the know the valence electrons for each;</span>

<span><span>Na:  (2e)
Br:  (7e, you don't count for the d orbitals)

Then, once you know this, you can deduce how many bonds each can do and you discover that bromine can do one bond since he has one electron missing in his p orbital, but that weirdly, since the s orbital of sodium is full and thus, should not make any bond.

However, it is possible for sodium to come in an excited state in wich he will have sent one of its electrons on an higher shell to have this valence configuration:</span></span>

<span><span /></span><span><span>

</span>where here now it has two lonely valence electrons, one on the s and the other on the p, so that it can do a total of two bonds.</span><span>That's why bromine and sodium can form </span>
