Answer:

2.83 g

Explanation:

At constant temperature and pressure, Using Avogadro's law

\frac {V_1}{n_1}=\frac {V_2}{n_2}

Given ,  

V₁ = 2.12 L

V₂ = 3.12 L

n₁ = 0.120 moles

n₂ = ?

Using above equation as:

\frac{2.12}{0.120}=\frac{3.12}{n_2}

2.12n_2=0.12\cdot \:3.12

2.12n_2=0.3744

n_2=\frac{0.3744}{2.12}

n_2=0.17660

n₂ = 0.17660 moles

Molar mass of methane gas = 16.05 g/mol

So, Mass = Moles*Molar mass = 0.17660 * 16.05 g = 2.83 g

<u>2.83 g  are in the piston.</u>

C(S)+O2(g)--&gt;CO2(g)
soldi70 [24.7K]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is 1.18 g.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given a chemical equation:

C(S)+O2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)

We know that at STP conditions:

22.4L of volume is occupied by 1 mole of a gas.

So, 2.21L of carbon dioxide is occupied by = \frac{1}{22.4L}\times 2.21L=0.0986mol of carbon dioxide gas.

By Stoichiometry of the above reaction:

1 mole of carbon dioxide gas is produced by 1 mole of carbon

So, 0.0986 moles of carbon dioxide is produced by = \frac{1}{1}\times 0.0986=0.0986mol of carbon.

Now, to calculate the mass of carbon, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Moles of carbon = 0.0986 mol

Molar mass of carbon = 12 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.0986mol=\frac{\text{Mass of carbon}}{12g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of carbon}=1.18g

Hence, the correct answer is 1.18 g.

If the lab technician needs 30 liters of a 25% acid solution, how many liters of the 10% and the 30% acid solutions should she m
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

7.5 L of the 10% and 22.5 L of the 30% acid solution, she should mix.

Explanation:

Let the volume of 10% acid solution used to make the mixture = x L

So, the volume of 30% acid solution used to make the mixture = y L

Total volume of the mixture = <u>x + y = 30 L .................. (1) </u>

For 10% acid solution:

C₁ = 10% , V₁ = x L

For 30% acid solution :

C₂ = 30% , V₂ = y L

For the resultant solution of sulfuric acid:

C₃ = 25% , V₃ = 30 L

Using  

C₁V₁ + C₂V₂ = C₃V₃

10×x + 30×y = 25×30

So,  

<u>x + 3y = 75 .................. (2) </u>

Solving 1 and 2 we get,

<u>x = 7.5 L </u>

<u>y = 22.5 L</u>

Metals react with oxygen to give oxides with the general formula MxOy. What is a balanced chemical equation for the reaction of
katovenus [111]

Answer: 4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.  

Here iron is having an oxidation state of +3 called as Fe^{3+} cation and oxide O^{2-} is an anion with oxidation state of -2. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral Fe_2O_3.

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.
