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

Under appropriate conditions, nitrogen and hydrogen undergo a combination reaction to yield ammonia: N 2 (g) 3H 2 (g) 2NH3 (g) I
balandron [24]

Answer:

We need 1.714 moles N2

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

The reaction yield = 87.5 %

Number of moles NH3 produced = 3.00 moles

Step 2: The balanced equation

N2(g)+ 3H2(g) →2NH3(g)

Step 3: Calculate moles N2

For 2 moles NH3 produced we need 1 mol N2 and 3 moles H2

This means, if the yield was 100%, for 3.00 moles NH3 produced , we need 1.5 moles N2

For a 87.5 % yield:  

we need more N2, increased by a ratio of 100/87.5.

100/87.5 * 1.5 =  1.714 moles N2

A 2-kg block rests on a wall that is 3 m tall. What is the gravitational potential energy of the block? The force of gravity on
Keith_Richards [23]
PE= weight x height. (remember weight is the force of gravity acting on objects...NOT the same as mass)

PE=3*2*9.8
PE=6*9.8
PE=58.8 J (for joules which is the unit for both Kinetic and potential energy)

Hope this helps :D

What is the molarity of a solution that contains 125 g nacl in 4.00 l solution?
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

[NaCl[ = 0.535M

Explanation:

We determine the moles of solute:

125 g . 1 mol/ 58.45 g = 2.14 moles

Molarity (mol/L) → 2.14 mol / 4L → 0.535M

Molarity is a sort of concentration that indicates the moles of solute in 1L of solution
