Because matter cannot be created or destroyed
Answer:
Mass of C₂H₄N₂ produced = 3.64 g
Explanation:
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is given below:
3CH₄ (g) + 5CO₂ (g) + 8NH₃ (g) → 4C₂H₄N₂ (g) + 10H₂O (g)
From the equation, 3 moles of CH₄ reacts with 5 moles of CO₂ and 8 moles of NH₃ to produce 4 moles of C₂H₄N₂ and 10 moles of H₂O
Molar masses of the compounds are given below below:
CH₄ = 16 g/mol; CO₂ = 44 g/mol; NH3 = 17 g/mol; C₂H₄N₂ = 56 g/mol; H₂O g/mol
Comparing the mole ratios of the reacting masses;
CH₄ = 1.65/16 = 0.103
CO₂ = 13.5/44 = 0.307
NH₃ = 2.21/17 = 0.130
converting to whole number ratios by dividing with the smallest ratio
CH₄ = 0.103/0.103 = 1
CO₂ = 0.307/0.103 = 3
NH₃ = 0.130/0.103 = 1.3
Multiplying through with 5
CH₄ = 1 × 5 = 5
CO₂ = 3 × 5 = 15
NH₃ = 1.3 × 5 = 6.5
Therefore, the limiting reactant is NH₃
8 × 17 g (136 g) of NH₃ reacts to produce 4 × 56 g (224 g) of C₂H₄N₂
Therefore, 2.21 g of NH₃ will produce (2.21 × 224)/136 g of C₂H₄N₂ = 3.64 g of C₂H₄N₂
Mass of C₂H₄N₂ produced = 3.64 g
Answer:
Gas turns into plasma when heat or energy is added to it. The atoms that make up the gas start to lose their electrons and become positively charged ions. The lost electrons are then able to float freely. This process is called ionization..

An electrical fire would only be made worse by adding water. Using a CO2 extinguisher is smarter because it cools what ever has been set on fire making it less likely to light on fire again.
