Answer: 11 molecules of methane and carbon will be left over.

Explanation: C+2H_2\rightarrow CH_4

According to given balanced equation,

1 atom of carbon reacts with 2 molecules of hydrogen to form 1 molecule of methane.

Thus 32 atoms of carbon will react with=\frac{2}{1}\times 32=64 molecules of hydrogen.

But only 22 molecules of hydrogen are available.

Thus we see it the other way.

2 molecules of hydrogen  react with 1 atom of carbon

22 molecules of hydrogen  will react with=\frac{1}{2}\times 22=11

atoms of carbon

Thus hydrogen is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product. Carbon is excess reagent and (34-11)=23 atoms of carbon will be left over.

2 molecules of hydrogen form 1 molecule of methane.

22 molecules of hydrogen form=\frac{1}{2}\times 22= 11 molecules of methane.

Each carbon atom will react with 4 hydrogen atoms to form methane (C H_{4}) Since there are 2 hydrogen atoms in a hydrogen molecule (H_{2}) then each carbon atom will react with 2 hydrogen molecules. Since there are 22 hydrogen molecules half as many methane molecules will be formed, so 11. Then we can subtract 11 from 34 to find the number of carbon atoms left over.

So in summary, 11 methane molecules will be formed and there will be 23 carbon atoms left over.

For the skeletal chemical equation BF3(g) + NaH(s) → B2H6(g) + NaF(s) what is the coefficient of B2H6 in the balanced equation?
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Coefficient in front of the B_2H_6  in the balanced equation - 1

Explanation:

The unbalanced Chemical equation is shown below as:-

BF_3+NaH\rightarrow B_2H_6+NaF

On the left hand side,  

There are 1 boron atom and 3 fluorine atoms and 1 sodium and hydrogen atoms.

On the right hand side,  

There are 2 boron atoms and 6 hydrogen atoms and 1 sodium and fluorine atoms.

Thus,  

leftside, BF_3 must be multiplied by 2 to balance boron and right side, NaF must be multiplied by 6 to balance fluorine. Left side, NaH must be multiplied by 6 to balance sodium and hydrogen atoms.

Thus, the balanced reaction is:-

2BF_3+6NaH\rightarrow B_2H_6+6NaF

<u>Coefficient in front of the B_2H_6  in the balanced equation - 1</u>

What evidence suggests that global climate change is causing the oceans to get warmer?
jasenka [17]

Answer:

A large point of evidence in this would be the rate of increase in how fast the polar ice caps are melting and the ocean is rising as a result. As the climate is getting warmer so are the oceans and this is causing the ice caps which are in the ocean.
