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

1 answer:

7 0

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

Slimotosis

Flauer [41]

Answer:

Here's what I get

Explanation:

A. Initial observation

Gary's shell had slime and an odour.

B. Independent variable

The independent variable is the one that the experimenter changes.

There are two independent variables: the rubbing with seaweed and the drinking of Dr. Kelp.

C. The dependent variable

The dependent variable is the amount of slime and odour.

D. The conclusion

Sponge Bob can conclude that rubbing the shell with seaweed and drinking Dr. Kelp removes the slime and odour.

However, this was a poorly designed experiment. He doesn't know if it is the seaweed or the Dr. Kelp that gives the result or if he must use both together. He should change only one independent variable at a time.

A compound containing chromium, Cr; chlorine, Cl; and oxygen, O, is analyzed and found to be 33.6% chromium, 45.8% chlorine, and

Assoli18 [71]

Answer

The empirical formula is CrO₂Cl₂

Explanation:

Empirical formula is the simplest whole number ratio of an atom present in a compound.

The compound contain, Chromium=33.6%

Chlorine=45.8%

Oxygen=20.6%

And the molar mass of Chromium(Cr)=51.996 g mol.

Chlorine containing molar mass (Cl)= 35.45 g mol.

Oxygen containing molar mass (O)=15.999 g mol.

Step-1

Then,we will get,

Cr= $\frac{1}{51.996} \times33.6=0.64$ mol

Cl= $\frac{1}{35.45} \times45.8=1.29$ mol.

O= $\frac{1}{15.99} \times=1.28$ mol.

Step-2

Divide the mole value with the smallest number of mole, we will get,

Cr= $\frac{0.64}{0.64} =1$

Cl= $\frac{1.29}{0.64} =2$

O= $\frac{1.28}{0.64} =2$

Then, the empirical formula of the compound is CrO₂Cl₂ (Chromyl chloride)

How do the mass and height of an object affect the gravitational potential energy?

marin [14]

Answer:

B. mass and height have the same effect on gravitational potential energy.

Explanation:

Both mass and height have the same effect on the gravitational potential energy of body.

Gravitational potential energy is the energy of a body due to that of another body. It usually the energy at rest in a body.

It is mathematically expressed as;

G.P.E = m x g x h

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height

We see that both the height and mass are directly proportional to the gravitational potential energy and as such, they have the same effect.
