This may seem confusing because they give you two masses, but all you have to do is pick one to do the calculations. Personally, I would pick O2, since the molar mass is easier to calculate. The answer would be 3.3 g (rounded for sig figs). To get this, first take the 5.9 grams of O2 and convert it to moles by dividing by the molar mass of oxygen gas, which is 32. Then, multiply both by the mole-mole ratio, which is 2:2, or simply 1:1. After that, multiply that by 18g, which is the molar mass of water to get grams of water.
REMEMBER, you have to write and balance the chemical equation before you can do any of that work.
That happens to be CH4 + 2O2 => CO2 + 2H2O
One thing to notice in the question is, we are asked about molecular oxygen that has formula O2 not atomic oxygen O.
As we are asked about molecular oxygen, we will answer the question in terms of number of molecules that are present in 16 grams of molecular oxygen.
To get the number of molecules present in 16 grams of O2, we will use the formula:
No. of molecules = no. of moles x Avogadro's number (NA)----- eq 1)
As we know:
The number of moles = mass/ molar mass of molecule
Here we have been given mass already, 16 grams and the molar mass of O2 is 32 grams.
Putting the values in above formula:
= 16/32
= 0.5 moles
Putting the number of moles and Avogadro's number (6.02 * 10^23) in eq 1
No. of molecules = 0.5 x 6.02 * 10^23
=3.01 x 10^23 molecules
or 301,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 molecules
This means that 16 grams of 3.01 x 10^23 molecules of oxygen.
Hope it helps!
They push away from each other or repel due to the same charge they have.
There are 3 experiments which helps to under water evaporation system.
- Both the temperature of the air surrounding the water and the rate of evaporation increased.
- In the second experiment, we observed an increase in air flow around the water, and this time, the rate of evaporation increased as well.
- In the third and final experiment, we observed an increase in the amount of light in the room, and this time, the rate of evaporation increased as well.
- Because the kinetic energy of a substance can be measured by its temperature, increasing in the temperature or kinetic energy of the air around water will also increase the kinetic energy of the water, which will increase the rate of evaporation.
- It's crucial to have good air flow since it drives water droplets in the air away from you, reducing the amount of humidity in the region. Because there will then be space for the evaporated air or space for the evaporated water to flow into the air, it will then be simpler for the water to really evaporate.
- Water in the presence of sunlight is given extra energy, which increases evaporation.
