Answer:
                              CH₄  +  2 O₂     →     CO₂  +  2 H₂O

Solution:

Balance chemical equation for said reaction is written in following steps.

1) Write down the reactants and products first,

                               CH₄  +  O₂     →     CO₂  +  H₂O

2) Analyze number of elements at left and right hand side,
So,
                     L.H.S                                    R.H.S
Carbon             1                                           1
Hydrogen         4                                           2
Oxygen             2                                           3

So, the carbon atoms are balanced. Hydrogen atoms are greater at L.H.S, so to balance hydrogen atoms multiply H₂O at R.H.S by 2, hence,

                               CH₄  +  O₂     →     CO₂  +  2 H₂O
Now,
                     L.H.S                                    R.H.S
Carbon             1                                           1
Hydrogen         4                                           4
Oxygen             2                                           4

So, the carbon atoms are balanced. Hydrogen atoms are balanced but oxygen atoms are greater at R.H.S, so to balance oxygen atoms multiply O₂ at L.H.S by 2, hence,

                               CH₄  +  2 O₂     →     CO₂  +  2 H₂O
Now,
                     L.H.S                                    R.H.S
Carbon             1                                           1
Hydrogen         4                                           4
Oxygen             4                                           4

Equation is balanced now.

I need help with the solution
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

1

Explanation:

The empirical formula describes the simplest whole number ratio of each type of atom in a compound. To find this formula, you need to (1) convert grams of each element to moles (via their atomic masses) and then (2) find the ratio of each element (by dividing each molar value by the smallest mole value).

(Step 1)

Atomic Mass (Zn): 65.380 g/mol

Atomic Mass (C): 12.011 g/mol

Atomic Mass (O): 15.998 g/mol

10.40 grams Zn              1 mole
------------------------  x  ------------------------  =  0.159 moles Zn
                                   65.380 grams

   

1.92 grams C               1 mole
---------------------  x  -----------------------  =  0.160 moles C
                                 12.011 grams

7.68 grams O               1 mole
----------------------  x  ------------------------  =  0.480 moles O
                                 15.998 grams

(Step 2)

0.159 moles Zn / 0.159  =  1 atom Zn

0.160 moles C / 0.159  =  1 atom C

0.480 moles O / 0.159  =  3 atom O

The empirical formula is Zn₁C₁O₃. Therefore, the value that should be in the space is 1.

If I have an unknown quantity of gas at STP with a volume of 41 liters, how many moles of gas do
Komok [63]

Answer:1 mol

Explanation:

the conversion from mol to volume of gas at STP is 22.4L, meaning that the amount of mols in a gas of volume 22.4L at STP is one mol.
