Answer:

2.60 g of H₂ and 20.8 g of O₂ are produced in the decomposition of 23.44 g of water

Explanation:

Water decomposition is:

2H₂O → 2H₂ + O₂

We convert the mass of water, to moles:

23.44 g . 1 mol/18 g = 1.30 moles

Ratio is 2:2 with hydrogen and 2:1 with oxygen. Let's make rules of three:

2 moles of water can produce 2 moles of hydrogen gas and oxygen gas

Then, 1.30 moles will produce:

(1.30 . 2) /2 = 1.30 moles of H₂

(1.30 . 1) /2 = 0.65 moles of O₂

We convert the moles to mass

1.30 moles of H₂ . 2g / 1mol = 2.60 g of H₂

0.65 moles of O₂ . 32 g / 1 mol = 20.8 g of O₂

To balance a half-reaction in basic solution, you need to add enough of which substances to balance the equation?
OlgaM077 [116]
In balancing half-reactions, it is important to know if the medium is basic or acidic. For basic medium, what is added to the reactant side is the hyroxide ion OH- and what is added to the other side is H2O. The answer is the fifth option.

If a solid line represents a covalent bond and a dotted line represents intermolecular attraction, which of these choices shows
blsea [12.9K]
<span>Generally, a hydrogen bond can be characterized as a proton shared by two lone electron pairs. It occurs when a hydrogen (H) atom, covalently bound to a highly electronegative atom such as nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), or fluorine (F), experiences the electrostatic field of another highly electronegative atom nearby.

   Among the choices in the bond (-N...H-O) one side of the Hydrogen is bonded to a highly electronegative atom with a lone pair (-N) and the other side is directly bonded with a highly electronegative atom (O-).

    So -N...H-O- shows a hydrogen bond.</span>

CH4 + 2O2 --&gt; CO2 + 2H2O
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

1 mole of CO2 and 2 mole H2O will be produced in the reaction.

Explanation:

N:B: I guess it will be 6 moles of O2 not CO2.

Balanced Equation: CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2O

Given,

1 mole CH4

6 moles of O2

According to Stoichiometry,

In the reaction,

 2 mole O2 reacts with 1 mole CH4

 1 mole O2 reacts with 1/2 mole CH4

∴6 mole O2 reacts with (1/2)*6 mole CH4

                                      = 3 moles of CH4

But, there is only 1 mole CH4 provided. So CH4 is the limiting reagent.

Now,

According to Stoichiometry,

In the reaction,

1 mole CH4 produces 2 moles of H2O

Again,

According to Stoichiometry,

In the reaction,

1 mole CH4 produces 1 mole CO2

So, 1 mole of CO2 and 2 mole H2O will be produced in the reaction.

N:B:[Doing calculation with limiting reagent in problems like these gives you the most accurate answer].
