The combustion of 1 mole of methane (CH4) in a domestic furnace requires 2 moles of O2 molecules, assuming the combustion was complete or ideal. To solve this problem, use stoichiometry of the reaction's balanced chemical equation:
CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2O
The ratio of CH4 to O2 in terms of moles is 1:2. So 1 mole of CH4 needs 2 moles of O2.
Determine the mass in grams of each element in the sample. If you are given percent composition, you can directly convert the percentage of each element to grams.
For example, a molecule has a molecular weight of 180.18 g/mol. It is found to contain 40.00% carbon, 6.72% hydrogen and 53.28% oxygen.
Convert the percentages to grams.
40.00 grams of carbon
6.72 grams of hydrogen
53.28 grams of oxygen
The electrons are found in shells or orbits that surround the nucleus of an atom
Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus . They group in the center of the atom
Answer: A. An element with the valence electron configuration 5s1 would form a monatomic ion with a charge of Answer: +1. In order to form this ion, the element will Answer: lose electron(s) from/into the 5s subshell(s).
