Answer:
21.6 g
Explanation:
The reaction that takes place is:
- CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O
First we<u> convert the given masses of both reactants into moles</u>, using their <em>respective molar masses</em>:
- 9.6 g CH₄ ÷ 16 g/mol = 0.6 mol CH₄
- 64.9 g O₂ ÷ 32 g/mol = 2.03 mol O₂
0.6 moles of CH₄ would react completely with (2 * 0.6) 1.2 moles of O₂. As there are more O₂ moles than required, O₂ is the reactant in excess and CH₄ is the limiting reactant.
Now we <u>calculate how many moles of water are produced</u>, using the <em>number of moles of the limiting reactant</em>:
- 0.6 mol CH₄ *
= 1.2 mol H₂O
Finally we<u> convert 1.2 moles of water into grams</u>, using its <em>molar mass</em>:
- 1.2 mol * 18 g/mol = 21.6 g
<u>Answer:</u> The standard heat for the given reaction is -138.82 kJ
<u>Explanation:</u>
Enthalpy change is defined as the difference in enthalpies of all the product and the reactants each multiplied with their respective number of moles.
The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:
For the given chemical reaction:
The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:
We are given:
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the standard heat for the given reaction is -138.82 kJ
