In order for a solute to dissolve in a solvent,
the attractive forces between solute particles and the solvent particles must
be stronger than the attractive forces between solute-solute and
solvent-solvent particles. This is important so that the solute will remain in
solution.
Methanol is prepared by reacting Carbon monoxide and Hydrogen gas,
CO + 2 H₂ → CH₃OH
Calculating Moles of CO:
According to equation,
32 g (1 mole) of CH₃OH is produced by = 1 Mole of CO
So,
3.60 × 10² g of CH₃OH is produced by = X Moles of CO
Solving for X,
X = (3.60 × 10² g × 1 Mole) ÷ 32 g
X = 11.25 Moles of CO
Calculating Moles of H₂:
According to equation,
32 g (1 mole) of CH₃OH is produced by = 2 Mole of H₂
So,
3.60 × 10² g of CH₃OH is produced by = X Moles of H₂
Solving for X,
X = (3.60 × 10² g × 2 Mole) ÷ 32 g
X = 22.5 Moles of H₂
Result:
3.60 × 10² g of CH₃OH is produced by reacting 11.25 Moles of CO and 22.5 Moles of H₂.
Answer:
Explanation:
State symbols are used in chemical equations to delineate the state of matter in which the reaction is taking place.
They give a good perspective of the state of the reactants and products obtainable.
There are basically four states of matter in every chemical reaction:
- Solids are symbolized by small letter (s)
- Liquids are represented by (l)
- Gases are shown by (g)
- Aqueous solutions having water as the medium by (aq)
These symbols appear as subscript in front of the chemical species.
Answer:
(NH4)2CO3 is the formula !
