Mg+O2=MgO
24 g. = 40 g
3 g. = x
$x = \frac{3 \times 40}{24} \\ x = 5 \: g$

Gaseous methane (CH4) reacts with gaseous oxygen gas (02) to produce gaseous carbon dioxide (CO2) and gaseous water (H20). What

Mariana [72]

Answer:

Theoretical yield = 3.51 g

Explanation:

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

For $CH_4$ :-

Mass of $CH_4$ = 1.28 g

Molar mass of $CH_4$ = 16.04 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$Moles= \frac{1.28\ g}{16.04\ g/mol}$

$Moles_{CH_4}= 0.0798\ mol$

For $O_2$ :-

Mass of $O_2$ = 10.1 g

Molar mass of $O_2$ = 31.998 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$Moles= \frac{10.1\ g}{31.998\ g/mol}$

$Moles_{O_2}= 0.3156\ mol$

According to the given reaction:

$CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O$

1 mole of methane gas reacts with 2 moles of oxygen gas

0.0798 mole of methane gas reacts with 2*0.0798 moles of oxygen gas

Moles of oxygen gas = 0.1596 moles

Available moles of oxygen gas = 0.3156 moles

Limiting reagent is the one which is present in small amount. Thus, $CH_4$ is limiting reagent.

The formation of the product is governed by the limiting reagent. So,

1 mole of methane gas on reaction produces 1 mole of carbon dioxide.

0.0798 mole of methane gas on reaction produces 0.0798 mole of carbon dioxide.

Mole of carbon dioxide = 0.0798 mole

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44.01 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$0.0798\ moles= \frac{Mass}{44.01\ g/mol}$

Mass of $CO_2$ = 3.51 g

Theoretical yield = 3.51 g

Draw the structure of the organic product(s) of the grignard reaction between phosgene (clcocl) and excess phenylmagnesium bromi

Jobisdone [24]

Phosgene on reacting with phenylmagnesium bromide generates benzoyl chloride.

Since, phenylmagnesium bromide is added in excess. It would further react with benzoyl chloride to form benzophenone.

Benzophenone on further reacting with phenylmagnesium bromide, and aqueous treatment, gives triphenylmethanol.
