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

Hi everyone can anyone help with this, the question and diagram is in the pic thx!
seraphim [82]

Answer:

QP

Explanation:

P has 9 electrons.

Electronic Configuration : 2, 7

Valence electrons : 7

P needs 1 electron to get stable electronic configuration.

Q has 3 electrons.

Electronic Configuration : 2, 1

Valence electrons : 1

P needs to loose 1 electron to get stable electronic configuration.

Q donates 1 electron,

Q -----> Q+ + 1 e-

P gains 1 electron,

P + 1 e- -----> P-

Q+ + P- -----> QP

This is an ionic compound.

Help me please <br> Answer &amp; exp.
nordsb [41]

Explanation:

Some Rules Regarding Oxidation Numbers:

- Hydrogen has oxidation number of + 1 except in hydrides where it is -1

- Oxygen has oxidation number of -2 except in peroxides where it is -1

- Some elements have fixed oxidation numbers. E.g Halogen group elements has oxidation number of -1

- Oxidation number of a compound is the sum total of the individual elements and a neutral  compound has oxidation number of 0.

A. HI

Hydrogen has oxidation of + 1

Oxidation number of I:

1 + x = 0

x = -1

B. PBr3

Br has oxidation number of - 1

Oxidation number of Pb:

x + 3 (-1) = 0

x = + 3

C. KH

Hydrogen has oxidation of + 1

Oxidation number of K:

1 + x = 0

x = -1

D. H3PO4

Hydrogen has oxidation number of + 1

Oxygen has oxidation number of -2

Oxidation number of P:

3(1) + x + 4(-2) = 0

3 + x - 8 =0

x = 5

If the volume of a gas container at 32 degrees Celsius changes from 1.55 L to 755 mL, what will the final temperature be?
QveST [7]
So to solve this you need to know Charles’s law which is: V1/T1=V2/T2. Where T1 and V1 is the initial volume and Temperature and V2 and T2 is the temperature and volume afterwards. So first plug in the numbers you are given. V1= 1.55L T1= 32C° V2= 755mL T2=?. Since your volumes are two different units you change 755mL to be in L so that would be 0.755 L. And since your temp isn’t in Kelvin you do 273+32= 305K°. You then would rearrange your equation to solve for T2 which is V2T1/V1. Then you plug in your numbers (0.755L)(305K)/1.55L. Then you solve and would be 148.5645161 —> 1.49 x 10^2 K

Having been heated to 800 K , at some point the tank starts to leak. By the time the leak is repaired, the tank contains only ha
Liula [17]

Answer: The temperature of the gas reduced to 400K.

Explanation:

Stated that ; The pressure remains the same, that is initial and final pressure equals 1atm.

Applying Charles Law

V1/T1 = V2/T2

Initial volume V1 = 1

Final volume V2 = 1/2 (halved)

Initial temperature T1 =800K

Final temperature T2 = ?

(1/800) = (1/2)/T2

T2 = 800/2

T= 400K

Therefore, when the volume is halved, the temperature reduced also to half ( 400K)
