To get the percent mass of calcium, first let us compute for the total mass:

total mass = 2.89 g + 5.11 g

total mass = 8 g

 

So the percent mass of calcium is:

% calcium = (2.89 / 8) * 100% = 36.125%

When 3.0 grams of H2 is reacted with excess C at constant pressure, the reaction forms CH4 and releases 53.3 kJ of heat. C(s) +
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

THE ENTHALPY OF REACTION IN KJ/MOL OF CH4 IS 7.07 KJ/MOL.

Explanation:

Mass of H2 = 3 g

Molar mass of H2 = 2 g/mol

Heat released = 53.3 kJ

Equation of the reaction:

C(s) + 2H2(g) -------> CH4(g)

First:

Calculate the number of moles of H2 that was used:

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 3g / 2g

Number of moles = 1.5 moles

So therefore, when 53.3 kJ of heat was released from the reaction, 1.5 moles of hydrogen was used.

From the equation of the reaction, one mole of carbon reacts with two moles of hydrogen to form one mole of methane.

For 3 g of hydrogen, 1.5 mole of hydrogen is involved.

It means:

1.5 moles of hydrogen reacts with 0.75 moles of carbon and produces 0.75 moles of methane. This is so because the reaction occurs in 1: 2: 1 in respect to carbon, hydrogen and methane respectively.

So we can say that the production of 0.75 mole of methane will evolve 53.3 kJ of heat.

0.75 mole of methane releases 53.3 kJ of heat.

1 mole of methane will release ( 53.3 kJ * 1 / 0.75 )

= 71.0666 kJ of heat

In conclusion, the enthalpy of the reaction in kJ/ mole of CH4 is 71.07 kJ/mol.

What are diatomic molecules and are they compounds? PLEASE ANSWER ASAP!!
Fantom [35]

Answer:

Diatomic molecules consist of two atoms that are chemically bonded. The two atoms can be the same or different chemical elements. As for whether or not they are compounds, there is not technically an answer. This is because all compounds are molecules, but not all molecules are compounds. For example diatomic molecules that comprise the chemical compounds nitric acid, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen chloride are made up of two different elements.  As you can see, most diatomic molecules are not made up of the same kind of elements and not every diatomic molecule comprises a chemical compound.

hope this helps :)
