Lewis is making a model of the Earth-Moon system. He knows that the diameter of the Earth is about four times greater than the d

iameter of the Moon. He uses a globe that is 16 inches in diameter to represent the Earth and a balloon that is blown up to be 4 inches in diameter to represent the Moon.
What property of the Earth-Moon system is best represented by this model?
A.
the materials that make up the Earth and Moon
B.
the size of the actual Earth and Moon
C.
the appearance of the Earth and Moon
D.
the relative scale of the Earth and Moon

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

The relative scale is used to compare two objects or models, in terms of its scale. This enables to understand the relation between the scale of one model that is directly measurable and the other that is too large to measure. Here the direct measurable model is the globe-balloon system and the non-measurable large model is the earth-moon system.

According to the provided condition, Lewis knew that the earth's diameter is four times bigger than that of the moon. He constructed a model of its own by taking a globe of diameter 16 inches and a balloon of diameter 4 inches. <u>He compares this globe to the earth and the balloon to the moon. His model completely satisfies the condition maintaining their relative sizes</u>.  

So the property of relative scale of earth and the moon system is appropriately shown in this model.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

D. this is the correct answer because the question is showing a comparison of sizes rather than the actual sizes which eliminates B. A and C have no relevance.

A mixture of0.161 moles of C is reacted with 0.117 moles of O2 in a sealed, 10.0 L-vessel at 500.0 K, producing a mixture of CO
labwork [276]

Answer:

number of moles of CO2 is 0.054

number of moles of CO is 0.107

number of moles of O2 remaining is 0.01 mole

mole fraction of CO is 0.63

Explanation:

Firstly, we write the equation of reaction;

3C(s) +2O2(g) → CO2(g) +2CO(g)

Now, we proceed.

From the written equation, we can deduce that

3 mol C = 2 mol O2 = 1 mol CO2 = 2 mol CO

No of mol of C reacted = 0.161 mol

limiting reactant according to the question is Carbon

a. no of mol of CO2 formed = 0.161*1/3 = 0.054 moles ( no of moles of CO2 formed is one-third of no of moles of carbon reacted. This is obtainable from their mole ratio 1:3)

b. no of mol of CO formed = 0.161*2/3 = 0.107 mol

c. no of mol of O2 remaining = 0.117 - (0.151*2/3) = 0.117-0.107 = 0.01 mole

d. mole fraction of CO = no of mol of CO/Total number of moles

= 0.107/(0.107+0.054+0.01)

= 0.625730994152 which is approximately 0.63

Suppose 2.8 moles of methane are allowed to react with 5 moles of oxygen.
Ronch [10]

Answer : The limiting reagent is O_2

Solution : Given,

Moles of methane = 2.8 moles

Moles of O_2 = 5 moles

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 mole of O_2 react with 1 mole of CH_4

So, 5 moles of O_2 react with \frac{5}{2}=2.5 moles of CH_4

From this we conclude that, CH_4 is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and O_2 is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Hence, the limiting reagent is O_2
