It allows people in different places and different countries to use the same units, avoid mistakes and understand each other more easily. The common base 10 of all units makes it easier and has more accurate calculations that are made without cumbersome conversion factors.
Answer:
0.74 grams of methane
Explanation:
The balanced equation of the combustion reaction of methane with oxygen is:
it is clear that 1 mol of CH₄ reacts with 2 mol of O₂.
firstly, we need to calculate the number of moles of both
for CH₄:
number of moles = mass / molar mass = (3.00 g) / (16.00 g/mol) = 0.1875 mol.
for O₂:
number of moles = mass / molar mass = (9.00 g) / (32.00 g/mol) = 0.2812 mol.
- it is clear that O₂ is the limiting reactant and methane will leftover.
using cross multiplication
1 mol of CH₄ needs → 2 mol of O₂
??? mol of CH₄ needs → 0.2812 mol of O₂
∴ the number of mol of CH₄ needed = (0.2812 * 1) / 2 = 0.1406 mol
so 0.14 mol will react and the remaining CH₄
mol of CH₄ left over = 0.1875 -0.1406 = 0.0469 mol
now we convert moles into grams
mass of CH₄ left over = no. of mol of CH₄ left over * molar mass
= 0.0469 mol * 16 g/mol = 0.7504 g
So, the right choice is 0.74 grams of methane
Answer:
Total mass of the reactant = 2+2.5 =4.5 mg
Total mass of product = 4.15 mg
therefore, mass of unreacted oxygen = 4.50-4.15 = 0.35 g
The second stage of photosynthesis also called Calvin stage produces glucose
Answer:
1.64x10⁻¹⁸ J
Explanation:
By the Bohr model, the electrons surround the nucleus of the atom in shells or levels of energy. Each one has it's energy, and the electron doesn't fall to the nucleus because it can reach another level of energy, and then return to its level.
When the electrons go to another level, it absorbs energy, and then, when return, this energy is released, as a photon (generally as luminous energy). The value of the energy can be calculated by:
E = hc/λ
Where h is the Planck constant (6.626x10⁻³⁴ J.s), c is the light speed (3.00x10⁸ m/s), and λ is the wavelength of the photon.
The wavelength can be calculated by:
1/λ = R*(1/nf² - 1/ni²)
Where R is the Rydberg constant (1.097x10⁷ m⁻¹), nf is the final orbit, and ni the initial orbit. So:
1/λ = 1.097x10⁷ *(1/1² - 1/2²)
1/λ = 8.227x10⁶
λ = 1.215x10⁻⁷ m
So, the energy is:
E = (6.626x10⁻³⁴ * 3.00x10⁸)/(1.215x10⁻⁷)
E = 1.64x10⁻¹⁸ J
