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

Which of the following is generally FALSE? Group of answer choices Elements in the same group have the same valence electron con

Whitepunk [10]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Generally, when we move from top to bottom in a group then there occur increase in the number of electrons due to which there will also occur increase in the number of shells.

As atomic size is the distance between the nucleus and valence shell of an atom. Hence, more is the number of shells present in an atom more will be its atomic radius.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement atomic radius of elements in a group decreases as you go from top to bottom, is generally FALSE.

gregori [183]

Answer:

The heat that was used to melt the 15.0 grams of ice at 0°C is 4,950 Joules

Explanation:

The mass of ice in the beaker = 15.0 grams

The initial temperature of the ice = 0°C

The final temperature of the ice = 0°C

The latent heat of fusion of ice = 330 J/g

The heat required to melt a given mass of ice = The mass of the ice to be melted × The latent heat of fusion of ice

Therefore, the heat, Q, required to melt 15.0 g of ice = 15.0 g × 330 J/g = 4,950 J

The heat that was used to melt the 15.0 grams of ice = 4,950 Joules.
