Answer:

18.26g

Explanation:

Equation of reaction;

CH₄ + Cl₂ → HCL + CH₃Cl

mass of CH₄ = 29.8g

molar mass of CH₄ = 16g/mol

mass of Cl₂ = 40g

molar mass of Cl₂ = (35.5*2) = 71g/mol

molar mass of CH₃Cl = 50.46g/mol

no. of moles = mass / molar mass

no. of moles of CH₄ = 29.8 / 16 = 1.8625 moles

no. of moles of Cl₂ = 40 / 71 = 0.56moles

Note : limiting reactant is Cl₂

From equation of reaction,

1 mole of Cl₂ = 1 mole of CH₃Cl

0.56 moles of Cl₂ = 0.56 moles of CH₃Cl

No. Of moles of experimental yield = no. Of moles of theoretical yield * percentage yield.

Theoretical yield of n(CH₃Cl) = 0.56 moles

n(CH₃Cl exp) = 0.56 * 0.647

n(CH₃Cl exp) = 0.36232 moles

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Mass = no. Of moles * molar mass

Mass = 0.36232 * 50.46 = 18.26g

m(CH₃Cl) = 18.26g

Answer:

37.091g

Explanation:

The reaction is given as;

Methane + Chlorine --> Chloromethane

CH4 + Cl2 --> CH3Cl + HCl

From the reaction above;

1 mol of methane reacts with 1 mol of chloromethane.

To proceed, we have to obtain the limiting reagent,

28.9g of methane;

Number of moles = Mass / molar mass = 29.8 / 16 = 1.8625 mol

40.3g of chlorine;

Number of moles = Mass / molar mass = 40.3 / 35.5= 1.1352 mol

Since the reaction has a stoichiometry ratio of 1:1, the limiting reagent is the chlorine

From the reaction,

1 mol of chlorine yirlds 1 mol of chloromethane

1.1352 yields x?

1 = 1

1.1352 = x

x = 1.1352

Mass = Number of moles * Molar mass = 1.1352 * 50.5 = 57.3276

Since the reaction has a 64.7% yield, mass of chloromethane formed is given as;

0.647 * 57.3276 = 37.091g

I would imagine they’d be equal.
F = ma
We can treat mass and force as constants because they do not change throughout both systems and they are the same on both systems. That would mean the acceleration would be the same for both systems.

An explanation of this could be the two forces are acting in different directions, so one is positively accelerating the object and the other is negatively accelerating it

Which salt is produced when sulfuric acid and calcium hydroxide react completely?
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer: Option (4) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When sulfuric acid reacts with calcium hydroxide then it results in the formation of calcium sulfate and water.

The chemical reaction for the same will be as follows.

     H_{2}SO_{4} + Ca(OH)_{2} \rightarrow CaSO_{4} + 2H_{2}O

Thus, we can conclude that CaSO_{4} salt is produced when sulfuric acid and calcium hydroxide react completely.

The law of conservation of mass is applicable to
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

The law of conservation of mass states that in a closed system, mass is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical or physical reaction. The law of conservation of mass is applied whenever you balance a chemical equation.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the products in a chemical reaction must equal the mass of the reactants.

The law of conservation of mass is useful for a number of calculations and can be used to solve for unknown masses, such the amount of gas consumed or produced during a reaction.

It is applicable in a chemical when the the mass of the products in a chemical reaction is equal to  the mass of the reactants.

But it is not applicable in a nuclear fusion as some of the mass is generated as energy.
