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

Answer:

The coefficients are 2 for H₂O and 1 for Ca(OH)₂.

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reaction.

Ca(OH)₂(aq) + 2 HCl(aq) → CaCl₂(aq) + 2 H₂O(l)

According to the balanced equation, the molar ratio of H₂O to Ca(OH)₂ is 2:1. Using this conversion factor, we have the following proportion:

moles Ca(OH)₂. (2 mol H₂O ÷ 1 mol Ca(OH)₂) = moles H₂O

At standard ambient temperature and pressure (SATP), a gas has density of 1.5328g/L. What is the molar mass of the gas?
ahrayia [7]

The standard ambient temperature and pressure are

Temperature =298 K

Pressure = 1atm

The density of gas is 1.5328 g/L

density = mass of gas per unit volume

the ideal gas equation is

PV = nRT

P = pressure = 1 atm

V = volume

n = moles

R= gas constant = 0.0821 Latm/mol K

T = 298 K

moles = mass / molar mass

so we can write

n/V = density / molar mass

Putting values

Pressure=\frac{nRT}{V}=\frac{massXRT}{VXmolarmass}

Pressure=\frac{densityXRT}{molarmass}

molarmass=\frac{densityXRT}{Pressure}=\frac{1.5328X0.0821X298}{1}=37.50

Thus molar mass of gas is 37.50g/mol

What occurs when Cr^3+ ions are reduced to Cr^2+ ions?
DiKsa [7]
D:

When electrons are gained, the charge of the atom decreases.

When you are given an atom with a charge, the oxidation of that atom is the charge. So by going from a Cr^3+ (Oxidation Number = 3) to a Cr^2+ (Oxidation Number = 2), the Oxidation Number thus decreases.
