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.

In the reduction of 4-tert-butylcyclohexanone with sodium borohydride, the major product has the tert-butyl group in the equator
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Axial position

Explanation:

In the reduction of 4-tert-butylcyclohexanone with sodium borohydride, the major product has the tert-butyl group in the equatorial position and the alcohol in the axial position.

The reason for this is that, axial bonds are parallel to each other. If  substituents are larger than hydrogen, they experience a greater steric crowding in axial compared to the equatorial position. Therefore, many substituted cyclohexane compounds prefer a conformation in which the larger substituents are in equatorial position.

For the solution resulting from dissolved 0.32 g of naphthalene (C10H8) in 25 g of benzene (C6H6) at temperature of 26.1°C, calc
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Number of moles of naphthalene = 0.32g/128.1705 g/mol = 0.0025 moles

Molality = number of moles/ mass of Solvent in kilograms

Molality = 0.0025/0.025 Kg

Morality = 0.1 m

But

∆T= K × i × m

Where ∆T = boiling point elevation

i= number of particles (this is equal to 1 because naphthalene is molecular and not ionic)

m= molality of naphthalene = 0.1 m

K= boiling point elevation constant = 5.12 °C/m

∆T= 5.12 °C/m ×0.1 = 0.512°C

For freezing point depression

∆T= K× i × m

Where ∆T= freezing point depression

i= number of particles (this is equal to 1 because naphthalene is molecular and not ionic)

m= molality of naphthalene = 0.1 m

K= freezing point depression constant = 2.67 °C/m

∆T= 2.67 °C/m ×0.1 = 0.267°C

From Raoult's law;

∆P = XBPA°

Where;

∆P = vapour pressure lowering

XB = mole fraction of solute

PA° = vapour pressure of pure solvent

Number of moles of solvent = mass/molar mass = 25g/ 78 g/mol= 0.3205 moles

Total number of moles = number of moles of solute + number of moles of solvent = 0.0025 moles + 0.3205 moles = 0.323 moles

Mole fraction of solute = 0.0025 moles/0.323 moles = 0.0077

Vapour pressure of benzene = 100 torr

Therefore;

∆P = 0.0077 × 100torr = 0.77 torr

Hence;

∆P = 0.77 torr

When a 10 mL graduated cylinder is filled to the 10 mL mark, the mass of the water was measured to be 10.085 g at 20ºC. If the d
Arte-miy333 [17]
The percentage error is the error of the measured value to the true value. To find he percent error, the equation is as follows:

Percent error = |Measured Value - True Value|/True Value  * 100
The || is needed to get the absolute value of the difference. Substituting the values,

Percent error = |(10.085 g/10 mL) - 0.9975 g/mL|/<span>0.9975 g/mL  * 100
</span><em>Percent error = 1.1% </em>
