If 8.6 g of ch4 and 5.9 g of o2 react, what is the mass, in grams, of h2o that is produced?

This may seem confusing because they give you two masses, but all you have to do is pick one to do the calculations. Personally, I would pick O2, since the molar mass is easier to calculate. The answer would be 3.3 g (rounded for sig figs). To get this, first take the 5.9 grams of O2 and convert it to moles by dividing by the molar mass of oxygen gas, which is 32. Then, multiply both by the mole-mole ratio, which is 2:2, or simply 1:1. After that, multiply that by 18g, which is the molar mass of water to get grams of water. 

REMEMBER, you have to write and balance the chemical equation before you can do any of that work. 
That happens to be CH4 + 2O2 => CO2 + 2H2O

Which postulate of dalton's atomic theory not relevant anymore?explain
VLD [36.1K]

Modern atomic theory is, of course, a little more involved than Dalton's theory but the essence of Dalton's theory remains valid. Today we know that atoms can be destroyed via nuclear reactions but not by chemical reactions. Also, there are different kinds of atoms (differing by their masses) within an element that are known as "isotopes", but isotopes of an element have the same chemical properties.

Many heretofore unexplained chemical phenomena were quickly explained by Dalton with his theory. Dalton's theory quickly became the theoretical foundation in chemistry.

What is the momentum of a photon that has a wavelength of 3.00 102 nm? remember the wavelength of a photon is equal to planck's
marta [7]
De Broglie's equation is used to show that photons have both particle and wave nature. photons are quantized packets of energy. the wave nature of photons can be proven as they have a wavelength. the particle nature is given by them having both velocity and mass. 
de Broglies equation is;
λ = h / p 
where λ - wavelength 
h - Planck's constant 
p - momentum 
substituting the values in the equation 
p = h/λ
p = \frac{6.626 * 10^{-34}m^{2} kg/s }{3.00 *  10^{-7}  m}
p  = 2.20 x 10⁻²⁷ kgm/s
momentum of photon is 2.20 x 10⁻²⁷ kgm/s
