$\boxed{{\text{49}}{\text{.224 g}}}$ of ${\text{CC}}{{\text{l}}_4}$ is produced by the reaction of 5.14 g of methane with an excess of chlorine.

Further explanation:

Stoichiometry of a reaction is used to determine the amount of species present in the reaction by the relationship between the reactants and products. It can be used to determine the moles of a chemical species when the moles of other chemical species present in the reaction is given.

Consider the general reaction,

${\text{A}} + 2{\text{B}}\to3{\text{C}}$

Here,

A and B are reactants.

C is the product.

One mole of A reacts with two moles of B to produce three moles of C. The stoichiometric ratio between A and B is 1:2, the stoichiometric ratio between A and C is 1:3 and the stoichiometric ratio between B and C is 2:3.

Limiting reagent:

A limiting reagent is the one that is completely consumed in a chemical reaction. The amount of product formed in any chemical reaction has to be in accordance with the limiting reagent of the reaction. The amount of product depends on the amount of limiting reagent since the product formation is not possible in the absence of it.

The given reaction occurs as follows:

${\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_4}\left(g\right) + 4{\text{C}}{{\text{l}}_2}\left(g\right)\to{\text{CC}}{{\text{l}}_4}\left(g\right)+4{\text{HCl}}\left(g\right)$

It is given that chlorine is present in an excess amount so methane $\left({{\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_4}}\right)$ is a limiting reagent and therefore it controls the amount of ${\text{CC}}{{\text{l}}_4}$ produced during the reaction.

The formula to calculate the amount of ${\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_4}$ is as follows:

${\text{Amount of C}}{{\text{H}}_4} = \frac{{{\text{Given mass of C}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{4}}}}}{{{\text{Molar mass of C}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{4}}}}}$ …… (1)

The given mass of ${\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_4}$ is 5.14 g.

The molar mass of ${\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_4}$ is 16.04 g/mol.

Substitute these values in equation (1).

$\begin{aligned}{\text{Amount of C}}{{\text{H}}_4} &= \left({{\text{5}}{\text{.14 g}}}\right)\left({\frac{{{\text{1 mol}}}}{{{\text{16}}{\text{.04 g}}}}}\right)\\ &= 0.32044\\&\approx{\mathbf{0}}{\mathbf{.320 mol}}\\\end{aligned}$

From the balanced chemical reaction, it is clear that 1 mole of ${\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_4}$ produces 1 mole of ${\text{CC}}{{\text{l}}_4}$ .

So the amount of ${\text{CC}}{{\text{l}}_4}$ is equal to that of ${\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_4}$ and thus the amount of ${\text{CC}}{{\text{l}}_4}$ is 0.320 mol.

The formula to calculate the mass of ${\text{CC}}{{\text{l}}_4}$ is as follows:

${\text{Mass of CC}}{{\text{l}}_4} = \left( {{\text{Moles of CC}}{{\text{l}}_4}}\right)\left({{\text{Molar mass of CC}}{{\text{l}}_4}}\right)$

…… (2)

The number of moles of ${\text{CC}}{{\text{l}}_4}$ is 0.320 mol.

The molar mass of ${\text{CC}}{{\text{l}}_4}$ is 153.82 g/mol.

Substitute these values in equation (2).

$\begin{gathered}{\text{Mass of CC}}{{\text{l}}_4} = \left({{\text{0}}{\text{.320 mol}}}\right)\left({\frac{{{\text{153}}{\text{.82 g}}}}{{{\text{1 mol}}}}}\right)\\ = {\mathbf{49}}{\mathbf{.224 g}}\\\end{gathered}$

Therefore, the mass of ${\text{CC}}{{\text{l}}_4}$ produced is 49.224 g.

Because CH4 is the limiting reagent, we must find how many moles we have.
1. 5.14 g CH4 * (1 mol CH4 / 16.04 g/mol) = .32125 moles CH4
Now we know that there are .32125 moles of CCl4 produced as well.
Next, take .32125 moles and multiply it by the atomic mass of CCl4, which is 153.82 grams = 49.29 g CCl4 produced by the reaction.

When the surface water temperature is still well below the water boiling temperature, some bubbles at the bottom tend to float u

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The reasons why the seemingly floating bubbles disappear was that they tend to loss their latent heat to the water molecules at the surface water.

Explanation:

Heat energy has a considerable effect on the velocity of molecules including water. The water molecules below the container will receive much more heat energy than those above it. This heat energy in the form of specific heat capacity and latent heat that result in the increase in the speed of individual molecules of water and finally to the escape of the molecules to a colder region of the container, in this case the upper region. At the collision of the bottom water to the surface water, they tend to exchange their heat content, the hotter molecules will lose their heat to the cold ones. When the formerly hot molecules encounter this, it will result in lowering the temperature and consequentially to the reduction of their movement, once in the form of bubble, now become ordinary water. This convectional transfer of heat energy will continue until the whole system has a uniform temperature depending on the consistency of the heat source.

13. Would you expect oxygen to form a cation or anion? How many electrons would it gain or lose? Why?

netineya [11]

Answer: C)Anion, it would gain 2 electrons to satisfy the octet rule.

Explanation:

Electronic configuration represents the total number of electrons that a neutral element contains. We add all the superscripts to know the number of electrons in an atom.

The electrons are filled according to Afbau's rule in order of increasing energies and thus the electronic configuration of oxygen with 8 electrons is

$O:8:1s^22s^22p^4$

The cation is formed by loss of electrons and anions are formed by gain of electrons.

In order to complete its octet and get stable, it gains 2 electrons and thus would form an anion.

$O^{2-}:10:1s^22s^22p^6$

E = ( 6.626 * 10^ -34 j*s) ( 74 * 10 ^ 12 s^ -1 ) = 4.90 * 10 ^ -20 J
