Answer:

The percent yield = 61.8 %

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of CO2 produced = 12.4 grams

Mass of methane = 7.38 grams

Mass of oxygen = 39.2 grams

Molar mass of CO2 = 44.01 g/mol

Molar mass of methane = 16.04 g/mol

Molar mass of oxygen = 32.0 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles methane

Moles methane = mass methane / molar mass methane

Moles methane = 7.38 grams / 16.04 g/mol

Moles methane = 0.460 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles oxygen

Moles O2 = 39.2 grams / 32.0 g/mol

Moles O2 = 1.225 moles

Step 5: Calculate limiting reactant

For 1 mol CH4 we need 2 moles O2 to produce 1 mol CO2 and 2 moles H2O

Methane is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed (0.460 moles). O2 is in excess. There will react 2*0.460 = 0.920 moles

There will remain 1.225 -0 .920 = 0.305 moles O2

Step 6: Calculate moles of CO2

For 1 mol CH4 we need 2 moles O2 to produce 1 mol CO2 and 2 moles H2O

For 0.460 moles CH4 we'll have 0.460 moles CO2

Step 7: Calculate mass CO2

Mass CO2 = moles CO2 * molar mass CO2

Mass CO2 = 0.460 moles * 44.01 g/mol

Mass CO2 = 20.24 grams

Step 8: Calculate percent yield

% yield = (actual yield/theoretical yield) *100%

% yield = (12.5 grams / 20.24 grams ) *100%

% yield = 61.8 %

The percent yield = 61.8 %

What is being cycled??
swat32
Water is constantly being cycled between the atmosphere, the ocean and land. This cycling is a very important process that helps sustain life on Earth. As the water evaporates, vapors rise, and condense into clouds. The clouds move over land, and precipitation falls in the form of rain, ice, or snow.

A sample of nitrogen gas had a volume of 500. mL, a pressure in its closed container of 740 torr, and a temperature of 25 °C. Wh
iren2701 [21]

Answer:  Thus the new volume of the gas is 530  ml

Explanation:

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas =  740 torr

P_2 = final pressure of gas = 760 torr

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 500 ml

V_2 = final volume of gas = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of gas = 25^oC=273+25=298K

T_2 = final temperature of gas = 50^oC=273+50=323K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

\frac{740\times 500}{298}=\frac{760\times V_2}{323}

V_2=530ml

Thus the new volume of the gas is 530 ml
