How many moles of O2 molecules should be supplied to burn 1 mol of CH4 molecules in a domestic furnace?

1 answer:

4 0

The combustion of 1 mole of methane (CH4) in a domestic furnace requires 2 moles of O2 molecules, assuming the combustion was complete or ideal. To solve this problem, use stoichiometry of the reaction's balanced chemical equation:

CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2O

The ratio of CH4 to O2 in terms of moles is 1:2. So 1 mole of CH4 needs 2 moles of O2.

What is an atom that has the same number of protons as other atoms of the same element, but has a different number of neutrons?

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

isotopes

Atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. Because the number of neutrons can vary for a given element, the mass numbers of different atoms of an element may also vary. For example, some helium atoms have three neutrons instead of two (these are called isotopes and are discussed in detail later on)
