\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.

Calculate the ph of a 0.60 m h2so3, solution that has the stepwise dissociation constants ka1 = 1.5 × 10-2 and 1.82 1.06 1.02 2.
Vsevolod [243]
Missing in your question Ka2 =6.3x10^-8
From this reaction:
 H2SO3 + H2O ↔ H3O+  + HSO3-
by using the ICE table :
                H2SO3     ↔    H3O     +    HSO3- 
intial         0.6                     0                  0
change     -X                      +X                +X
Equ         (0.6-X)                  X                   X

when Ka1 = [H3O+][HSO3-]/[H2SO3]
So by substitution:
1.5X10^-2 = (X*X) / (0.6-X) by solving this equation for X
∴ X = 0.088
∴[H2SO3] = 0.6 - 0.088 = 0.512
[HSO3-] = [H3O+] = 0.088

by using the ICE table 2:
                 HSO3-     ↔   H3O     +     SO3-
initial        0.088              0.088              0
change    -X                      +X                   +X
Equ         (0.088-X)          (0.088+X)          X

Ka2= [H3O+] [SO3-] / [HSO3-]
we can assume [HSO3-] =  0.088 as the value of Ka2 is very small
 6.3x10^-8 = (0.088+X)*X / 0.088
X^2 +0.088 X - 5.5x10^-9= 0 by solving this equation for X
∴X= 6.3x10^-8
∴[H3O+] = 0.088 + 6.3x10^-8
               = 0.088 m ( because X is so small)
∴PH= -㏒[H3O+]
       = -㏒ 0.088 = 1.06

The bulb lights up in the circuit. Only two rods are conductors of electricity. Which one of the rods, X, Y or Z is definitely a
meriva

Answer: Rod X.

Explanation:

Ok, the electricity starts in the top left part. First, it must travel in the X rod, then it keeps traveling until it reaches the parallel path, and it can go to the Z rod, to the Y rod, or to both of them, and then it reaches the bulb (the circle with a X inside of it).

We know that two rods are conductors of electricity.

Now, suppose the case where rods Z and Y are the ones that conduct electricity, this means that X does not conduct electricity, then when the current reaches to X it stops (because X does not conduct) then the electricity never reaches the rods Z and Y, and then the electricity never reaches the bulb, but we know that the bulb lights up, so we must have that X is one of the conducting rods.

Then, if for example, Y does not conduct electricity, the electricity still can run through the Z rod and eventually reach the bulb.

So we can conclude that the rod that is definitely a conductor of electricity is rod X
