Earth's crust, the surface layer of the planet, is not solid and unbroken. The forces that rage inside the planet have fractured this brittle layer. Some of these fractures, called faults, lie beneath the surface of the crust. Other faults, however, have ruptured the surface, cracking the crust into various-sized blocks of rock. These blocks dip and rise along faults in response to pressure underground. One block may move up while the other moves down. Sometimes the movement is enough to form valleys or mountains. Other times that movement is not vertical but horizontal, as one block slips along the fault relative to the block on the other side.

Movement of crustal blocks along faults may be regular and slow or sporadic and sudden. When two blocks are forced to move against each other but are locked into position, stress builds up. When that stress becomes greater than the forces holding the blocks together, the blocks are forced to move suddenly and violently. The ground vibrations accompanying that r

What is the excess reactant in the combustion of 23 g of methane in the open atmosphere?
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer : The excess reactant in the combustion of methane in opem atmosphere is O_{2} molecule.

Solution : Given,

Mass of methane = 23 g

Molar mass of methane = 16.04 g/mole

The Net balanced chemical reaction for combustion of methane is,

CH_4(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+2H_2O(g)

First we have to calculate the moles of methane.

\text{ Moles of methane}=\frac{\text{ Given mass of methane}}{\text{ Molar mass of methane}} = \frac{23g}{16.04g/mole} = 1.434 moles

From the above chemical reaction, we conclude that

1 mole of methane react with the 2 moles of oxygen

and 1.434 moles of methane react to give \frac{2moles\times 1.434moles}{1moles} moles of oxygen

The Moles of oxygen = 2.868 moles

Now we conclude that the moles of oxygen are more than the moles of methane.

Therefore, the excess reactant in the combustion of methane in open atmosphere is O_{2} molecule.
