Answer : The mass of H_2O produced will be, 8.1 grams.

Explanation : Given,

Volume of CH_4 = 50dm^3=50L    (1dm^3=1L)

Volume of O_2 = 10dm^3=10L

Molar mass of H_2O = 18 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of CH_4 and O_2.

As, 22.4 L volume of CH_4 present in 1 mole of CH_4

So, 50 L volume of CH_4 present in \frac{50}{22.4}=2.23 mole of CH_4

and,

As, 22.4 L volume of O_2 present in 1 mole of O_2

So, 10 L volume of O_2 present in \frac{10}{22.4}=0.45 mole of O_2

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 moles of O_2 react with 1 mole of CH_4

So, 0.45 moles of O_2 react with \frac{0.45}{2}=0.225 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.

Now we have to calculate the moles of H_2O.

As, 2 moles of O_2 react to give 2 moles of H_2O

As, 0.45 moles of O_2 react to give 0.45 moles of H_2O

Now we have to calculate the mass of H_2O.

\text{Mass of }H_2O=\text{Moles of }H_2O\times \text{Molar mass of }H_2O

\text{Mass of }H_2O=(0.45mole)\times (18g/mole)=8.1g

Therefore, the mass of H_2O produced will be, 8.1 grams.

When you take 10 grams of salt, and dissolve it in 25 grams of hot water what is the solubility
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

When salt is mixed with water, the salt dissolves because the covalent bonds of water are stronger than the ionic bonds in the salt molecules. ... Water molecules pull the sodium and chloride ions apart, breaking the ionic bond that held them together.

DaniilM [7]
<span>Africa was more south and west and South America was more south and east of their current positions. I would say this would be because because South America and Africa used to be together in Gondwanaland millions of years ago and then apparently drifted apart as Wegener thought and then with the advent of plate tectonics it became apparent that the mid-Atlantic ridge runs between them and due to spreading along it Africa and S America got separated.</span>

What is the empirical formula of a molecule containing 65.5% carbon, 5.5% hydrogen, and 29.0% oxygen
natta225 [31]
Carbon(C):
number of moles= mass/molar mass(Mr)
=65.5/12
=5.5 moles

Hydrogen(H):
number of moles=mass/molar mass (Mr)
=5.5/1
=5.5 moles

Oxygen (O):
number of moles = mass/molar mass (Mr)
=29.0/16
=1.8 moles

EF= lowest number of moles over each of the elements

So,
C= 5.5/1.8 = 3
H= 5.5/1.8 = 3
O= 1.8/1.8 = 1

Therefore Emperical formula= C3H3O
