When organic matter decomposes under oxygen-free (anaerobic) conditions, methane is one of the products. Thus, enormous deposits

of natural gas, which is almost entirely methane, serve as a major source of fuel for home and industry.
(a) Known deposits of natural gas can produce 5600 EJ of energy (1 EJ = 10¹⁸ J). Current total global energy usage is 4.0X10² EJ per year. Find the mass (in kg) of known deposits of natural gas (ΔH°rxn for the combustion of CH₄ = -802 kJ/mol).

The mass of methane is 1.117×10^17 g.

Given,

∆H°rxn =-802kj/mol

1Ej = 10^18 j =10^-3×10^18 kj

802kj of energy is released by 1 mol of CH4.

1kj of energy is released by 1/802 mol of CH4.

5600Ej of energy is released= 5600/802 mol of CH4

5600×10^18×10^-3 kj of energy is released

=5600 × 10^18 × 10^-3 /802 mol

=6.982 ×10^15 mol of CH4

We know,

the molecular mass of CH4 = 16 g

1 mol of CH4 = 16g

6.982×10^15 mol = 16 × 6.982 × 10^15 = 1.117×10^17 g

Hence, the mass of methane is 1.117×10^17 g.

If a compound has a composition of 82% nitrogen and 18% hydrogen, what is the empirical formula for this compound
Damm [24]

Answer: The empirical formula for the given compound is NH_3

Explanation : Given,

Percentage of H = 18 %

Percentage of N = 82 %

Let the mass of compound be 100 g. So, percentages given are taken as mass.

Mass of H = 18 g

Mass of N = 82 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Hydrogen = \frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{18g}{1g/mole}=18moles

Moles of Nitrogen = \frac{\text{Given mass of nitrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of nitrogen}}=\frac{82g}{14g/mole}=5.8moles

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 5.8 moles.

For Hydrogen  = \frac{18}{5.8}=3.10\approx 3

For Nitrogen = \frac{5.8}{5.8}=1

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of H : N = 3 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is NH_3

1. A solution at 25 degrees Celsius is 1.0 × 10–5 M H3O+. What is the concentration of OH– in this solution?
Kazeer [188]

1. Answer:

1.0 × 10–9 M OH–

Explanation:

pH = -Log[H+]

pOH = -Log[OH-]

But;

pH + pOH = 14

Therefore;

[H+] + [OH-] = 1.0 × 10^-14 M

Therefore;

[OH-] = 1.0 × 10^-14 M - (1.0 × 10^–5 M)

         = 1.0 × 10^-9 M OH–

2. Answer;

pH = 7.28

Explanation;

pH = -Log[H3O+]

Given;

[H3O+] = 5.2 × 10^–8 M

Therefore;

pH = - log [5.2 × 10^–8 M]

     = 7.28

The pH is 7.28

Determine the mass of each of t he following:
EastWind [94]

Explanation:

Mass of compounds = Moles of compound × Molecular mass of compound

a) Moles of LiCl = 2.345 mol

Molecular mass of LiCl = 42.5 g/mol

Mass of 2.345 moles of LiCl = 2.345 mol × 42.5 g/mol = 99.6625 g

b) Moles of acetylene = 0.0872 mol

Molecular mass of acetylene= 26 g/mol

Mass of 0.0872 moles acetylene= 0.0872 mol × 26 g/mol = 2.2672 g

c) Moles of sodium carbonate= 3.3\times 10^{-2}mol

Molecular mass of sodium carbonate= 106 g/mol

Mass of  3.3\times 10^{-2}mol sodium carbonate

=  3.3\times 10^{-2}mol\times 106 g/mol= 3.498 g

d) Moles of fructose = 1.23\times 10^3 mol

Molecular mass fructose= 180 g/mol

Mass of  1.23\times 10^3 mol fructose

=  1.23\times 10^3mol\times 180 g/mol = 221,400 g

e) Moles of  FeSO_4(H_2O)_7=0.5758 mol

Molecular mass of FeSO_4(H_2O)_7 =278 g/mol

Mass of  1.23\times 10^3 mol fructose

=  0.5758 mol\times 278 g/mol= 160.0724 g
