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%

What is the partial pressure of argon, par, in the flask? express your answer to three significant figures and include the appro
monitta
Given which are missing in your question:
the flask is filled with 1.45 g of argon at 25 C° 
So according to this formula (Partial pressure):
PV= nRT
first, we need n, and we can get by substitution by:
n =  1.45/mass weight of argon
   = 1.45 / 39.948 = 0.0363 mol of Ar
we have R constant = 0.0821
and T in kelvin = 25 + 273 = 298
and V = 1 L
∴ P * 1 = 0.0363* 0.0821 * 298 = 0.888 atm
