Answer:

C₆H₁₈

Explanation:

Let's say x is the subscript of carbon and y is the subscript of hydrogen.  We know from the empirical formula that the ratio of x to y is 2 to 6.

x / y = 2 / 6

We also know from the molar mass that:

12.01x + 1.01y = 90.21

Solving the system of equations:

2y = 6x

y = 3x

12.01x + 1.01(3x) = 90.21

12.01x + 3.03x = 90.21

15.04x = 90.21

x = 6

y = 3x

y = 18

The molecular formula is therefore C₆H₁₈.

Ammonia (NH3) clouds are present around some planets. Calculate the number of grams of ammonia produced by the reaction of 5.4 g
Komok [63]

Answer:

30.4 g. NH3

Explanation:

This problem tells us that the hydrogen (H2) is the limiting reactant, as there is "an excess of nitrogen." Using stoichiometry (the relationship between the various species of the equation), we can see that for every 3 moles of H2 consumed, 2 moles of NH3 are produced.

But before we can use that relationship to find the number of grams of ammonia produced, we need to convert the given grams of hydrogen into moles:

5.4 g x [1 mol H2/(1.008x2 g.)] = 2.67857 mol H2 (not using significant figures yet; want to be as accurate as possible)

Now, we can use the relationship between H2 and NH3.

2.67857 mol H2 x (2 mol NH3/3 mol H2) = 1.7857 mol NH3

Now, we have the number of moles of ammonia produced, but the answer asks us for grams. Use the molar mass of ammonia to convert.

1.7857 mol NH3 x 17.034 g. NH3/mol NH3 = 30.4 g. NH3 (used a default # of 3 sig figs)

Define natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and liquefied natural gas (LNG). What three countries have most of the world’
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

The answer is treated below.

Explanation:

<u>Natural gas</u>: Natural gas is not used in its pure form; it is processed and converted into cleaner fuel for consumption. It is a fossil fuel composed almost entirely of methane, but contain small amounts of other gases, including ethane, propane, pentane and butane. It is a combustible,  gaseous mixture of simple hydrocarbon compounds, usually found in deep  underground reservoirs formed by porous rock. Natural gas is mainly used as fuel for generating  heat  and electricity.

<u>Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)</u>: Liquefied Petroleum Gas is a byproduct of natural gas and oil extraction and crude oil refining . At room temperature,  liquefied petroleum gas is a colourless and odourless gas which consists generally of butane (C4H10) or propane (C3H8) or a mixture of both.

<u>Liquefied natural gas (LNG)</u>: Is natural gas that has been liquefied for ease of transport or storage. It is refrigerated to a very low temperature (-162 Celsius). At this temperature it becomes an odourless, non-toxic liquid that can be safely transported over long distances.

<u><em> Three countries that have most of the world’s natural gas reserves</em></u>

  1. Russia
  2. Iran
  3. Qatar

<em>Major advantages of using conventional natural gas as an energy resource:</em>

  • It is less expensive when compared to other fossil fuels.
  • It is safer and easier to store when compared to other fossil fuels

<em>Major disadvantages of using conventional natural gas as an energy resource:</em>

  • It costs more to recover the remaining natural gas because of flow, access, etc.
  • It is not a renewable source.
  • it is a combustible material, It must be handled with care.
  • It does not contribute to greenhouse gases.

Three sources of unconventional natural gas :

  1. <em>Tight Gas</em>
  2. <em>Shale Gas</em>
  3. <em>Coalbed Methane</em>

<u>Major problems related to the use of </u><u>Tight Gas</u>

  • When Hydrofluoric acid is used to release tight gas in reserves it potentially an issue simply because the substance is so dangerous. A spill or a leak could harm workers and pollute groundwater for uses.

<u>Major problems related to the use of </u><u>Shale Gas</u>

  • Risk of ground and surface water contamination.
  • Have impacts on air quality.

<u>Major problems related to the use of </u><u>Coalbed Methane</u>

  • The development of coalbed methane will result to soil disturbance from construction of wells, roads, and the associated pipeline and electric power rights-of-ways.
  • It has impact on wildlife.
