Determine the mass of butane gas that was released from the lighter and collected in the gas collection tube. Use the given belo

w to derive the answer.
GIVEN:
mass of lighter before (g)
32.105 g
volume of butane gas collected (mL)
90. mL
mass of Lighter after (g)
31.844 g
room temperature (K)
297 K
air pressure (atm)
1.2 atm
so (90)(1.2) = (297)

There are several information's already given in the question. Based on those information's, the answer can be easily deduced.
Gas constant = 0.0821
Now
<span>PV=nRT
</span>(1.2) * (0.09) = n * (0.0821) * (297)
n = 0.00443
Mass of Butane = 32.105 - 31. 844
= 0.261
Then
Molar mass of Butane gas = 0.261/.00443
= 58.92

The daily production of carbon dioxide from an 780.0 mw coal-fired power plant is estimated to be 3.3480 x 104 tons (not metric)

valkas [14]

The production of $CO_{2}$ is $3.3480\times 10^{4} tons/day$ . Converting mass into kg,

1 ton=907.185 kg, thus,

$3.3480\times 10^{4} tons=3.037\times 10^{7} kg$

Thus, production of $CO_{2}$ will be $3.037\times 10^{7} kg/ day$ .

The specific volume of $CO_{2}$ is $0.0120 m^{3}/kg$ .

Volume of $CO_{2}$ produced per day can be calculated as:

$V=Specific volume\times mass$

Putting the values,

$V=0.0120 m^{3}/kg\times 3.037\times 10^{7} kg=364440 m^{3}/day$

Thus, volume of $CO_{2}$ produced per year will be:

$V=\frac{365 days}{1 year}(364440 m^{3}/day)=1.33\times 10^{8}m^{3}/year$

Thus, in 4 year volume of $CO_{2}$ produced will be:

$V=1.33\times 10^{8}m^{3}/year\times 4 years=5.32\times 10^{8}m^{3}$

If one gram of sulphur dioxide contains x molecules what will be the number of molecules in 1g of methane

evablogger [386]

The ratio of molecules in sulphur dioxide and methane will be the same as the ratio of their moles. So, first of all we should find out the number of moles of sulphur dioxide in 1 gram of sulphur dioxide in 1 gram of sulphur dioxide, and the number of moles of methane in 1 gram of methane. This can be done as follows :

(i) The molecular formula of sulphur dioxide is $SO_{2}$

So, $1$ mole of $SO_{2}$ = $Mass$ $of$ $2'O'$

$=32+2*16$

$= 64$ grams

Now, $64g$ of sulphur dioxide $= 1$ mole

So, $1g$ of sulphur dioxide = $\frac{1}{64}$ mole

Thus, we have $\frac{1}{64}$ mole of sulphur dioxide and it contains molecules in it. Now, since equal moles of all the substance contain equal number of molecules, therefore, $\frac{1}{64}$ mole of methane will also contain x molecules of methane.

(ii) Molecular formula of methan is $CH_{4}$

So, 1 mole of $CH_{4}$ = Mass of C + Mass of 4 H

$=12+4*12$

Now, 16g of methane = 1 mole

So, 1 g of mathane = $\frac{1}{16}$ mole

We know that:

$\frac{1}{64}$ mole of methane contains = x molecules

So, $\frac{1}{16}$ mole of contains will contain = $\frac{x*64}{16}$ molecules

= $4x$ molecules
