Gaseous methane will react with gaseous oxygen to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water . Suppose 7.9 g of methane is

mixed with 14.4 g of oxygen. Calculate the minimum mass of methane that could be left over by the chemical reaction. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Explanation:

The given reaction is as follows.

     CH_{4} + 2O_{2} \rightarrow CO_{2} + 2H_{2}O

As it is known that number of moles equal mass divided by molar mass. Molar mass of methane is 16 g/mol.

Hence,   No. of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

                                   = \frac{7.9 g}{16 g/mol}

                                   = 0.493 mol

Molar mass of oxygen is 32 g/mol.

Hence, its number of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

                                            = \frac{14.4 g}{32 g/mol}

                                            = 0.45 mol

As, it is shown from the reaction that 1 mole of methane needs 2 mole of oxygen.

Therefore, 0.493 mol of methane needs 2 \times 0.45 mol equals 0.9 moles of oxygen.

As there is only 0.45 moles of oxygen for the reaction. So, it means that oxygen is the limiting reagent.

Hence, for 0.45 moles of oxygen, methane required is as follows.

                        \frac{0.45}{2} = 0.225 moles

So, 0.225 moles of methane is equal to 0.225 \times 16 = 3.6 g

As, 3.6 g of methane reacts with oxygen. Therefore, amount of methane remains is calculated as follows.

                   (7.9 g - 3.6 g) = 4.3 g

 Thus, we can conclude that the minimum mass of methane that could be left over by the chemical reaction is 4.3 g.

Alcohol and water have different melting points. which method would you use to separate them?
yuradex [85]
The process of separating alcohol from water can be done in several different ways. The most familiar method is through heating the blended liquid. Since alcohol has a lower boiling temperature than water, it will rapidly become steam. It can then be condensed into a separate container. You can also freeze the alcoholic mixture, which allows for partial removal of the nonalcoholic components; what remains will be more rich in alcohol. Use ordinary table salt to separate isopropyl alcohol from water. The result will be a condensed isopropyl alcohol, not a drinking alcohol.

____ [38]

Answer:

The child with the trait is heterozygous.

Explanation:

It's a little difficult to be sure without wider context.  But my interpretation of both the graphic and the wording, is that the circle represents a person who has the trait, but not necessarily someone who expresses the trait.  The square, on the other hand, seems to represent a person who does not have the trait at all.

Based on that, the squares would be hom-zygous--they possess two copies of a dominant version of the characteristic.  And the circles would be heteroxygous--they possess two different versions, one recessive and one dominant.

Unfortunately, this is actually a poorly constructed question, and if the circles are intended to represent an individual who <em>expresses </em>the recessive trait, then the answer would be that the child is hom-zygous.  But based on the exact wording of the question, the correct interpretation of the graphic should be as I've explained above.
