Answer:

The maximum mass of CO2 that could be produced is 0.1925 grams

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of methane = 0.301 grams

Mass of oxygen = 0.28 grams

Molar mass of ethane = 16.04 g/mol

Molar mass of oxygen = 32 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O

For 1 mole methane consumed, we need 2 moles of O2 to produce 1 mole of CO2 and 2 moles of H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles of methane

Number of moles =Mass / Molar mass

Number of moles CH4 = 0.301 grams /16.04 g/mol

Moles CH4 = 0.0188 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles oxygen

Number of moles oxygen = 0.28 grams / 32 g/mol

Moles oxygen = 0.00875 moles

Step 5: the limiting reactant

For 1 mole methane consumed, we need 2 moles of O2

Oxygen is the limiting reactant. It will be completely consumed.

Methane is in excess. There will be consumed 0.00875 /2  = 0.004375 moles

There will remain 0.0188 - 0.004375 = 0.014425 moles

Step 6: Calculate moles of CO2

For 1 mole methane consumed, we need 2 moles of O2 to produce 1 mole of CO2

For 0.00875 moles oxygen , we have 0.004375 moles CO2

Step 7: Calculate mass of CO2

Mass CO2 = moles CO2 * Molar mass CO2

Mass CO2 =0.004375 * 44.01 g/mol = 0.1925 grams CO2

The maximum mass of CO2 that could be produced is 0.1925 grams

If you really keep an eye on the flow chart, the only ions you can consider as being "Definitely not present" are: Cr3+, Fe3+, and Zn2+. The rest of the ions should be considered under "Possibly present", as we cannot conclude if any of the ions are "Definitely present".

How many liters of chlorine gas can react with 56.0 grams of calcium metal at standard temperature and pressure? Show all of the
Doss [256]
The balanced chemical reaction is:

<span>Ca + Cl2 =  CaCl2
</span>
We are given the amount of calcium metal to be used for this reaction. This will be the starting point for the calculations.

56 g Ca ( 1 mol Ca / 40.08 g Ca) (1 mol Cl2 / 1 mol Ca) ( 22.414 L Cl2 / 1 mol Cl2 ) = 31.32 L Cl2 gas produced from the reaction
