The balanced chemical reaction is:
CH4 + 2O2 —> CO2 + 2H2O
You need to convert mass to moles (divide by molar mass):
CH4 moles = 5 / 16 = 0.31 mol
O2 moles = 5 / 32 = 0.16 mol
To figure out which reactant is limiting, divide the actual moles by the corresponding coefficient in the reaction:
CH4: 0.31 / 1 = 0.31
O2: 0.16 / 2 = 0.08
O2 is the lower number, so it is the limiting reactant. From the reaction we know it takes 2 moles of O2 to react with each mole of CH4. Therefore, for however many moles of O2 we actually have, half as many moles of CH4 will react. Since we have 0.16 mol of O2, only 0.08 mol of CH4 will react, leaving behind 0.31 - 0.08 = 0.23 mol of CH4.
Now convert back to mass (multiply by molar mass) to find the mass of CH4 remaining:
0.23 x 16 = 3.68g
The closest answer is B.
Because the equator is closer to the sun, the sun rays hit the earth’s surface which causes the temperature to be warm at a higher angle at the equator,
Answer:
Explanation:
If we want to convert from grams to moles, the molar mass is used. This is the mass of 1 mole. They are found on the Periodic Table as the atomic masses, but the units are grams per mole (g/mol) instead of atomic mass units (amu).
Look up the molar mass of carbon.
Set up a ratio using the molar mass.
Since we are converting 3.06 grams to moles, we multiply by that value.
Flip the ratio. This way, the ratio is still equivalent, but the units of grams of carbon cancel.
The original measurement of grams (3.06) has 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we calculated, that is the thousandth place.
The 7 in the ten-thousandth place tells us to round the 4 up to a 5.
3.06 grams of carbon is approximately <u>0.255 moles of carbon.</u>
They are three types of mixtures:
-solutions : they are homogeneous mixtures of 2 or more sub. in a single phase.
-suspensions: if the particles in a solvent are so large that they settle out unless constantly tired, the mixture is called a suspension.
-colloids: particles that are intermediate in size between those of solutions and suspensions form mixtures called colloids.
