What happens when you mix an acid and a base together

Answer: Moles of hydrogen required are 4.57 moles to make 146.6 grams of methane, $CH_{4}$ .

Explanation:

Given: Mass of methane = 146.6 g

As moles is the mass of a substance divided by its molar mass. So, moles of methane (molar mass = 16.04 g/mol) are calculated as follows.

$Moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\= \frac{146.6 g}{16.04 g/mol}\\= 9.14 mol$

The given reaction equation is as follows.

$C + 2H_{2} \rightarrow CH_{4}$

This shows that 2 moles of hydrogen gives 1 mole of methane. Hence, moles of hydrogen required to form 9.14 moles of methane is as follows.

$Moles of H_{2} = \frac{9.14}{2}\\= 4.57 mol$

Thus, we can conclude that moles of hydrogen required are 4.57 moles to make 146.6 grams of methane, $CH_{4}$ .

A synthesis reaction takes place when carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen gas (H2) react to form methanol (CH3OH). How many grams

jek_recluse [69]

The mass of methanol produced is 8.0 g.

We have the masses of two reactants, so this is a limiting reactant problem.

We know that we will need a balanced equation with masses, moles, and molar masses of the compounds involved.

Step 1. Gather all the information in one place with molar masses above the formulas and everything else below them.

MM: ___28.01 2.016 ___32.04

_______CO + 2H_2 → CH_3OH

Mass/g: 7.0 __2.5

Step 2. Calculate the moles of each reactant

Moles of CO = 7.0 g CO × (1 mol CO/28.01g CO) = 0.250 mol CO

Moles of H_2 =2.5 g H_2 × (1 mol H_2/2.016 g H_2) = 1.24 mol H_2

Step 3. Identify the limiting reactant

Calculate the moles of CH_3OH we can obtain from each reactant.

From CO: Moles of CH_3OH = 0.250 mol CO × (1 mol CH_3OH /1 mol CO)

= 0.250 mol CH_3OH

From H_2: Moles of CH_3OH = 1.24 mol H_2 × (1 mol CH_3OH /2 mol H_2)

= 0.620 mol CH_3OH

CO is the limiting reactant because it gives the smaller amount of CH_3OH.

Step 4. Calculate the mass of CH_3OH

Mass of CH_3OH = 0.250 mol CH_3OH × (32.04 g CH_3OH /1 mol CH_3OH) = 8.0 g CH_3OH
