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

Why neon is special from other chemical elements

kupik [55]

Noble gases react very unwillingly, because the outermost shell of electrons orbiting the nucleus is full, giving these gases no incentive to swap electrons with other elements. As a result, there are very few compounds made with noble gases. Like its noble gas comrades, neon is odorless and colorless.

If 8.00 g NH4NO3 is dissolved in 1000 g of water, the water decreases in temperature from 21.00 degrees Celsius to 20.39 degrees

telo118 [61]

Answer:

25.7 kJ/mol

Explanation:

There are two heats involved.

heat of solution of NH₄NO₃ + heat from water = 0

q₁ + q₂ = 0

n = moles of NH₄NO₃ = 8.00 g NH₄NO₃ × 1 mol NH₄NO₃/80.0 g NH₄NO₃

∴ n = 0.100 mol NH₄NO₃

q₁ = n * ΔHsoln = 0.100 mol * ΔHsoln

m = mass of solution = 1000.0 g + 8.00 g = 1008.0 g

q₂ = mcΔT = 58.0 g × 4.184 J°C⁻¹ g⁻¹ × ((20.39-21)°C) = -2570.19 J

q₁ + q₂ = 0.100 mol ×ΔHsoln – 2570.19 J = 0

ΔHsoln = +2570.19 J /0.100 mol = +25702 J/mol = +25.7 kJ/mol

Elements in the same column of the periodic table have what in common?

Kipish [7]

Answer:

Elements in same column of periodic table have same properties.

Explanation:

The elements in the same group have same number of valance electrons thus have similar properties.

Consider the elements of group two i.e alkaline earth metals. All have two valance electrons and show similar properties.

Magnesium, barium, calcium etc.

All alkaline earth metals form salt with halogens.e.g,

Mg + Cl₂ → MgCl₂

Ba + Br₂ → BaBr₂

Mg + Br₂ → MgBr₂

Ca + Br₂ → CaBr₂

They react with oxygen and form oxides of respective metal.

2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO

2Ba + O₂ → 2BaO

2Ca + O₂ → 2CaO

these oxides form hydroxide when react with water,

MgO + H₂O → Mg(OH)₂

BaO + H₂O → Ba(OH)₂

CaO + H₂O → Ca(OH)₂

With nitrogen it produced nitride,

3Mg + N₂ → Mg₃N₂

3Ba + N₂ → Ba₃N₂

3Ca + N₂ → Ca₃N₂

With acid like HCl,

Mg + 2HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂

Ba + 2HCl → BaCl₂ + H₂

Ca + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + H₂

The compound gallium phosphide () is a compound semiconductor having mixed ionic and covalent bonding. The electronegativities f

9966 [12]

Answer:

$0.08875$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the first step is to compute the difference in the electronegativity for the formed bond between gallium and phosphorous by:

$\Delta E=2.1-1.6\\\\\Delta E=0.5$

Thus, we can compute the percentage of ionic character by:

$\%\ ionic\ character=16\Delta E +3.5 (\Delta E)^2\\\\\%\ ionic\ character=16*0.5+3.5*0.5^2\\\\\%\ ionic\ character=8.875\%$

So the fraction is just:

$\frac{8.875}{100}=0.08875$

Which has sense since gallium phosphide is a non-polar compound.

Regards.
