Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

1)

Balanced chemical reaction

              2CH₃OH  + 3O₂  ⇒    2 CO₂  +  4H₂O

          Reactant            Element         Product

                2                         C                    2

                8                         H                    8

                8                         O                    8        

Molar mass of CH₃OH = 2[12 + 16 + 4]

                                     = 2[32]

                                     = 64 g

Molar mass of O₂ = 3[16 x 2] = 96 g

Theoretical proportion CH₃OH/O₂ = 64 g/96g = 0.67

Experimental proportion CH₃OH/O₂ = 60/48 = 1.25

Conclusion

The limiting reactant is O₂ because the Experimental proportion was higher than the theoretical proportion

2)

Balanced chemical reaction

                         S₈  +  12O₂  ⇒    8SO₃

             Reactant     Elements     Products

                    8                  S                8

                   24                 O              24

Molar mass of S₈ = 32 x 8 = 256 g

Molar mass of O₂ = 12 x 32 = 384 g

Theoretical proportion S₈ / O₂ = 256 / 384

                                                  = 0.67

Experimental proportion S₈ / O₂ = 40 / 35

                                                     = 1.14

Conclusion

The limiting reactant is O₂ because the experimental proportion was lower than the theoretical proportion.

Estimate the number of moles of water in all the Earth's oceans. Assume water covers 75% of the Earth to an average depth of 3 k
o-na [289]

Answer:

there are approximately n ≈ 10²² moles

Explanation:

Since the radius of the earth is approximately R=6378 km= 6.378*10⁶ m , then the surface S of the earth would be

S= 4*π*R²

since the water covers 75% of the Earth's surface , the surface covered by water Sw is

Sw=0.75*S

the volume for a surface Sw and a depth D= 3 km = 3000 m ( approximating the volume through a rectangular shape) is

V=Sw*D

the mass of water under a volume V , assuming a density ρ= 1000 kg/m³ is

m=ρ*V

the number of moles n of water ( molecular weight M= 18 g/mole = 1.8*10⁻² kg/mole ) for a mass m is

n = m/M

then

n = m/M = ρ*V/M = ρ*Sw*D/M = 0.75*ρ*S*D/M = 3/4*ρ*4*π*R² *D/M = 3*π*ρ*R² *D/M

n=3*π*ρ*R² *D/M

replacing values

n=3*π*ρ*R² *D/M = 3*π*1000 kg/m³*(6.378*10⁶ m)² *3000 m /(1.8*10⁻² kg/mole) = 3*π*6.378*3/1.8 * 10²⁰ = 100.18 * 10²⁰ ≈ 10²² moles

n ≈ 10²² moles

Define natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and liquefied natural gas (LNG). What three countries have most of the world’
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

The answer is treated below.

Explanation:

<u>Natural gas</u>: Natural gas is not used in its pure form; it is processed and converted into cleaner fuel for consumption. It is a fossil fuel composed almost entirely of methane, but contain small amounts of other gases, including ethane, propane, pentane and butane. It is a combustible,  gaseous mixture of simple hydrocarbon compounds, usually found in deep  underground reservoirs formed by porous rock. Natural gas is mainly used as fuel for generating  heat  and electricity.

<u>Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)</u>: Liquefied Petroleum Gas is a byproduct of natural gas and oil extraction and crude oil refining . At room temperature,  liquefied petroleum gas is a colourless and odourless gas which consists generally of butane (C4H10) or propane (C3H8) or a mixture of both.

<u>Liquefied natural gas (LNG)</u>: Is natural gas that has been liquefied for ease of transport or storage. It is refrigerated to a very low temperature (-162 Celsius). At this temperature it becomes an odourless, non-toxic liquid that can be safely transported over long distances.

<u><em> Three countries that have most of the world’s natural gas reserves</em></u>

  1. Russia
  2. Iran
  3. Qatar

<em>Major advantages of using conventional natural gas as an energy resource:</em>

  • It is less expensive when compared to other fossil fuels.
  • It is safer and easier to store when compared to other fossil fuels

<em>Major disadvantages of using conventional natural gas as an energy resource:</em>

  • It costs more to recover the remaining natural gas because of flow, access, etc.
  • It is not a renewable source.
  • it is a combustible material, It must be handled with care.
  • It does not contribute to greenhouse gases.

Three sources of unconventional natural gas :

  1. <em>Tight Gas</em>
  2. <em>Shale Gas</em>
  3. <em>Coalbed Methane</em>

<u>Major problems related to the use of </u><u>Tight Gas</u>

  • When Hydrofluoric acid is used to release tight gas in reserves it potentially an issue simply because the substance is so dangerous. A spill or a leak could harm workers and pollute groundwater for uses.

<u>Major problems related to the use of </u><u>Shale Gas</u>

  • Risk of ground and surface water contamination.
  • Have impacts on air quality.

<u>Major problems related to the use of </u><u>Coalbed Methane</u>

  • The development of coalbed methane will result to soil disturbance from construction of wells, roads, and the associated pipeline and electric power rights-of-ways.
  • It has impact on wildlife.

GarryVolchara [31]

In light reactions there is successful photosynthesis due to the fact one of the primary reactants for photosynthesis in the first place. At the end of the light reaction, there will be the normal photosynthesis products formed which are glucose and oxygen. For the dark reaction no products will be formed

What is altered by a catalyst?
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:Effect of Catalysts on the Activation Energy. Catalysts provide a new reaction pathway in which a lower Activation energy is offered. A catalyst increases the rate of a reaction by lowering the activation energy so that more reactant molecules collide with enough energy to surmount the smaller energy barrier.
