Gaseous methane (CH4) reacts with gaseous oxygen gas (02) to produce gaseous carbon dioxide (CO2) and gaseous water (H20). What

is the theoretical yield of carbon dioxide formed from the reaction of 1.28 g of methane and 10.1 g of oxygen gas? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits in it. 02

Answer:

Theoretical yield = 3.51 g

Explanation:

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

For CH_4  :-

Mass of CH_4  = 1.28 g

Molar mass of CH_4  = 16.04 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

Moles= \frac{1.28\ g}{16.04\ g/mol}

Moles_{CH_4}= 0.0798\ mol

For O_2  :-

Mass of O_2  = 10.1 g

Molar mass of O_2  = 31.998 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

Moles= \frac{10.1\ g}{31.998\ g/mol}

Moles_{O_2}= 0.3156\ mol

According to the given reaction:

CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

1 mole of methane gas reacts with 2 moles of oxygen gas

0.0798 mole of methane gas reacts with 2*0.0798 moles of oxygen gas

Moles of oxygen gas = 0.1596 moles

Available moles of oxygen gas = 0.3156 moles

<u>Limiting reagent is the one which is present in small amount. Thus, CH_4 is limiting reagent. </u>

The formation of the product is governed by the limiting reagent. So,

1 mole of methane gas on reaction produces 1 mole of carbon dioxide.

0.0798 mole of methane gas on reaction produces 0.0798 mole of carbon dioxide.

Mole of carbon dioxide = 0.0798 mole

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44.01 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

0.0798\ moles= \frac{Mass}{44.01\ g/mol}

Mass of CO_2 = 3.51 g

<u> Theoretical yield = 3.51 g</u>

Even though we are well into the course Dumbledore notices some of the students are still having trouble with significant figure
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

B) 2

Explanation:

Significant figures : The figures in a number which express the value -the magnitude of a quantity to a specific degree of accuracy is known as significant digits.

The rule apply for the multiplication and division is :

The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.

The rule apply for the addition and subtraction is :

The least precise number present after the decimal point determines the number of significant figures in the answer.

(3.478-2.31) = 1.168 ≅ 1.17 (Rounded to least decimal digit)

(4.428-3.56) = 0.868 ≅ 0.87 (Rounded to least decimal digit)

So,

1.17 * 0.87 = 1.0  (Rounded to least significant)

Answer - two significant digits
