How many molecules are in 12 grams of methane (CH 4 )?

Chemistry

Sveta_85 [38]4 years ago

To calculate number of molecules, we first need to calculate the number of moles of methane.

Number of moles of methane = \frac{Given mass}{Molar mass of methane}

Molar mass of methane= 16.04 g/mol

Given mass of methane= 12 g

Number of moles of methane=\frac{Given mass}{Molar mass of methane}

=\frac{12}{16.04}

= 0.74 mol

Number of molecules of methane = 0.74\times 6.023 \times 10^{23}

= 4.5 × e²³

12 grams of methane is one mole. So there are N(Avogadro)=6.22 x 10^23 molecules in one mole of methane

How many grams of CO2 evolved from a 1.205g sample that is 36% MgCO3 and 44% K2CO3 by mass?
emmasim [6.3K]

Mass of CO₂ evolved : 0.108 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

1.205g sample, 36% MgCO3 and 44% K2CO3

Required

mass of CO2

Solution

  • mass of MgCO₃ :

0.36 x 1.205 g=0.4338 g

mass C in MgCO₃(MW MgCO₃=84 g/mol,  Ar C = 12/gmol)

= (12/84) x 0.4338

= 0.062 g

  • mass of K₂CO₃ :

0.44 x 1.205 g = 0.5302 g

Mass C in K₂CO₃(MW=138 g/mol) :

= (12/138) x 0.5302

= 0.046 g

Total mass Of CO₂ :

= 0.062 + 0.046

= 0.108 g

Gas is $2.50/gal at Station A and 85 cents/L at Station B. A) Convert the cost of gas at Station B to $/gal. B) At which station
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

85 cents/L is equal to 3.2176$/gallon.

gas wiuld be heaper to buy from the station A.

Explanation:

As 85 cents/L is more than $2.5/gallon therefore buying gas from station A would be cheaper than the other one.

A chemist adds of a M barium acetate solution to a reaction flask. Calculate the mass in grams of barium acetate the chemist has
tekilochka [14]

Complete Question:

A chemist adds 55.0 mL of a 1.1M barium acetate (Ba(C2H3O2)2) solution to a reaction flask. Calculate the mass in grams of barium acetate the chemist has added to the flask. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Answer:

15 g

Explanation:

The concentration of the barium acetate is given in mol/L (M), thus, the number of moles (n) of it is the concentrantion multiplied by the volume (55.0 mL = 0.055 L):

n = 1.1 * 0.055

n = 0.0605 mol

The molar mass of the substance can be calculated by the sum of the molar mass of each element, which can be found at the periodic table. Thus:

Ba = 137.33 g/mol

C = 12.00 g/mol

H = 1.00 g/mol

O = 16.00 g/mol

Ba(C2H3O2)2 = 137.33 + 4*12 + 6*1 + 4*16 = 255.33 g/mol

The molar mass is the mass divided by the number of moles, thus the mass (m) is the molar mass multiplied by the number of moles.

m = 255.33 * 0.0605

m = 15.45 g

Rounded by 2 significant digits, m = 15 g.
