Answer:
Argon has 8 valence electrons and no extras, it does not require a bond in order to fill its shells, its satisfied by itself.
Chlorine is missing 1 Electron, if it connects with another Chlorine it will be satisfying both of their needs with a Covalent bond.
Explanation:
2.1648 kg of CH4 will generate 119341 KJ of energy.
Explanation:
Write down the values given in the question
CH4(g) +2 O2 → CO2(g) +2 H20 (g)
ΔH1 = - 802 kJ
2 H2O(g)→2 H2O(I)
ΔH2= -88 kJ
The overall chemical reaction is
CH4 (g)+2 O2(g)→CO2(g)+2 H2O (I) ΔH2= -890 kJ
CH4 +2 O2 → CO2 +2 H20
(1mol)+(2mol)→(1mol+2mol)
Methane (CH4) = 16 gm/mol
oxygen (O2) =32 gm/mol
Here 1 mol CH4 ang 2mol of O2 gives 1mol of CO2 and 2 mol of 2 H2O
which generate 882 KJ /mol
Therefore to produce 119341 KJ of energy
119341/882 = 135.3 mol
to produce 119341 KJ of energy, 135.3 mol of CH4 and 270.6 mol of O2 will require
=135.3 *16
=2164.8 gm
=2.1648 kg of CH4
2.1648 kg of CH4 will generate 119341 KJ of energy
