Answer:
1.45 x 10⁻² g CO₂
Explanation:
To find the mass of carbon dioxide, you need to (1) convert grams CH₄ to moles CH₄ (via molar mass), then (2) convert moles CH₄ to moles CO₂ (via mole-to-mole ratio from reaction coefficients), and then (3) convert moles CO₂ to grams CO₂ (via molar mass). The final answer should have 3 sig figs to reflect the given value (5.30 x 10⁻³ g).
Molar Mass (CH₄): 12.011 g/mol + 4(1.008 g/mol)
Molar Mass (CH₄): 16.043 g/mol
Combustion of Methane:
1 CH₄ + 2 O₂ ---> 2 H₂O + 1 CO₂
Molar Mass (CO₂): 12.011 g/mol + 2(15.998 g/mol)
Molar Mass (CO₂): 44.007 g/mol
5.30 x 10⁻³ g CH₄ 1 mole 1 mole CO₂ 44.007 g

16.043 g 1 mole CH₄ 1 mole
= 0.0145 g CO₂
= 1.45 x 10⁻² g CO₂
Answer: heat
Other indicators: color change, odor, gas, temperature change.
You have to think about the fact that hot air is constantly being blown up elevating the balloon once that air is taken away it's up to the steering and the wind after that. I know that probably doesn't help did you want to know the science part?
