Please HELP! Use the following Equations to answer the problem: CH3OH + O2 —&gt; CO2 + H2O
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

1)

Balanced chemical reaction

              2CH₃OH  + 3O₂  ⇒    2 CO₂  +  4H₂O

          Reactant            Element         Product

                2                         C                    2

                8                         H                    8

                8                         O                    8        

Molar mass of CH₃OH = 2[12 + 16 + 4]

                                     = 2[32]

                                     = 64 g

Molar mass of O₂ = 3[16 x 2] = 96 g

Theoretical proportion CH₃OH/O₂ = 64 g/96g = 0.67

Experimental proportion CH₃OH/O₂ = 60/48 = 1.25

Conclusion

The limiting reactant is O₂ because the Experimental proportion was higher than the theoretical proportion

2)

Balanced chemical reaction

                         S₈  +  12O₂  ⇒    8SO₃

             Reactant     Elements     Products

                    8                  S                8

                   24                 O              24

Molar mass of S₈ = 32 x 8 = 256 g

Molar mass of O₂ = 12 x 32 = 384 g

Theoretical proportion S₈ / O₂ = 256 / 384

                                                  = 0.67

Experimental proportion S₈ / O₂ = 40 / 35

                                                     = 1.14

Conclusion

The limiting reactant is O₂ because the experimental proportion was lower than the theoretical proportion.

The specific heat of gold is 0.126 J/gºC. How much energy is released
Schach [20]

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity of gold (S)

= 0.126 J /kg°C

mass (m) = 350 g = 0.35 kg

difference in temperature (dt)

= 88.5°C - 24.6°C

= 63.9° C

Now

Energy released (Q)

= m*s*dt

= 0.35 * 0.126 * 63.9

= 2.81799 Joule

Hope it will help :)

Jeffrey is on his skateboard and starts skating down a ramp. Ten seconds later he is travelling at
AfilCa [17]

Answer: 2m/s^2

Explanation:

Velocity of skateboard = 20.0 m/s.

Time taken = Ten seconds (10 s)

Acceleration ​= ?

Recall that acceleration is the change in velocity of a body per unit time.

i.e Acceleration = (velocity / Time)

Acceleration = 20.0m/s ➗ 10 s

Acceleration = 2m/s^2

Thus, Jeffrey acceleration was 2m/s^2
