Answer:

1.882 g

Explanation:

Data Given

mass of Cl₂ = 33.4 g

mass of CH₄ = ?

Reaction Given:

                       CH₄+ 4Cl₂ --------→ CCl₄ + HCl

Solution:

First find the mass of CH₄ from the reaction that it combine with how many grams of Chlorin.

Look at the balanced reaction

                    CH₄     +     4Cl₂ --------→ CCl₄ + 4HCl

                    1 mol        4 mol

So 1 mole of CH₄ combine with 4 moles of Cl₂

Now

convert the moles into mass for which we have to know molar mass of CH₄ and Cl₂

Molar mass of Cl₂ = 2 (35.5)

Molar mass of  Cl₂  = 71 g/mol

mass of Cl₂

                mass in grams = no. of moles x molar mass

                mass of Cl₂ = 4 mol x 71 g/mol

                mass of Cl₂  = 284 g

Molar mass of CH₄= 12+ 4(1)

Molar mass of CH₄= 16 g/mol

mass of CH₄

                mass in grams = no. of moles x molar mass

                mass of CH₄= 1 mol x 16 g/mol

                mass of CH₄ = 16 g

So,

284 g of Cl₂  combine with 16 g of methane ( CH₄ ) then how many grams of CH₄ is needed to combine with 33.4 g of Cl₂  

Apply unity Formula

                           284 g of Cl₂  ≅ 16 g of methane ( CH₄ )

                           33.4 g of Cl₂  ≅ X g of methane ( CH₄ )

By cross multiplication

                          X g of methane ( CH₄ ) = 16 g x 33.4 g / 284 g

                          X g of methane ( CH₄ ) = 1.88 g

1.882 g of methane (CH₄) will needed to combine with 33.4 g of Cl₂

So

methane (CH₄) = 1.882 g

Which postulate of Dalton's atomic theory was later proven wrong?
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Option c and d

Explanation:

John Dalton. In 1808, John Dalton proposed a theory known as Dalton’s Atomic Theory. The theory was published in a paper titled “A New Chemical Philosophy”. This theory was new to that era

The 5 postulates of Daltons' atomic theory are:

1. All the matters are made of atoms.

2. Atoms of different elements combine to form compounds

3. Compounds contain atoms in small whole-number ratios

4. Atoms can neither be created nor destroyed . (This was later proven wrong )

5. All atoms of an element are identical and have the same properties (This was later proven wrong as atoms of same element may be different in case of elements having isotopes )

Therefore, options c and d are the answer.

0.415 g of an unknown triprotic acid are used to make a 100.00 mL solution. Then 25.00 mL of this solution is transferred to an
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial burette reading = 1.81 mL

final burette reading = 39.7 mL

volume of NaOH used = 39.7 - 1.81 = 37.89 mL .  

37.89 mL of .1029 M NaOH is used to neutralise triprotic acid

No of moles contained by 37.89 mL of .1029 M NaOH

= .03789 x .1029 moles

= 3.89 x 10⁻³ moles

Since acid is triprotic ,  its equivalent weight = molecular weight / 3

No of moles of triprotic acid = 3.89 x 10⁻³ / 3

= 1.30   x 10⁻³ moles .

Stells [14]

Answer:

Electric Current

This is a flow of electrons (such as the flow of electrons in a wire to light up a lamp).

Insulator

These stop the electricity from flowing (think rubber and glass).

Resistance

This is slowing the flow of electrons (the current) and where some of the electrons' energy gets converted into heat.

Conductor

These allow electricity to flow easily through them (think copper and aluminum).

The 488 nm laser is shine on a lithium metal whose work function is 2.9 eV will you be able to see any photoelectrons? if yes wh
nalin [4]

Answer:

There will not be any ejection of photoelectrons

Explanation:

Energy of the photon= hc/λ

Where;

h= Plank's constant

c= speed of light

λ= wavelength of the incident photon

E= 6.6×10^-34 × 3 ×10^8/488 × 10^-9

E= 4.1 ×10^-19 J

Work function of the metal (Wo)= 2.9 eV × 1.6 × 10^-19 = 4.64 × 10^-19 J

There can only be ejected photoelectrons when E>Wo but in this case, E<Wo hence there will not be any ejection of photoelectrons.
