The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Gaseous methane (CH4) reacts with gaseous oxygen gas (O2) to produce gaseous carbon dioxide (CO2) and gaseous water (H2O). If 28.2 g of carbon dioxide is produced from the reaction of 15.1 g of methane and 81.2 g of oxygen gas, Calculate the percent yield of carbon dioxide. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits in it.

Answer:

71.1%

Explanation:

The balanced reaction equation must first be written;

CH4 (g) + 2O2 (g) → CO2 (g) + 2H2O (g)

Let us obtain the number of moles of carbon dioxide corresponding to 28.2 g

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass= 28.2/44.01 g/mol = 0.64 moles of CO2

Next, we obtain the limiting reactant. This is the reactant that yields the least amount of product.

For methane;

Number of moles in 15.1 g= mass/molar mass= 15.1/16gmol-1 = 0.9 moles

From the reaction equation;

1 mole of methane yields 1 mole of carbon dioxide

Hence 0.9 moles of methane yields 0.9 moles of carbon dioxide.

For oxygen

Number of moles of oxygen corresponding to 81.2 g of oxygen= mass/ molar mass= 81.2g/32gmol-1 = 2.5 moles of oxygen

From the reaction equation;

2 moles of oxygen gas yields 1 mole of carbon dioxide

2.5 moles of oxygen gas yields 2.5 × 1 /2 = 1.25 moles of carbon dioxide.

Methane is the limiting reactant.

Theoretical yield of carbon dioxide= 0.9 moles

Actual yield of carbon dioxide= 0.64 moles

% yield = actual yield/ theoretical yield × 100

% yield= 0.64/0.9 ×100

% yield = 71.1%

Answer: The correct answer is -297 kJ.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we want to modify each of the equations given to get the equation at the bottom of the photo. To do this, we realize that we need SO2 on the right side of the equation (as a product). This lets us know that we must reverse the first equation. This gives us:

2SO3 —> O2 + 2SO2 (196 kJ)

Remember that we take the opposite of the enthalpy change (reverse the sign) when we reverse the equation.

Now, both equations have double the coefficients that we would like (for example, there is 2S in the second equation when we need only S). This means we should multiply each equation (and their enthalpy changes) by 1/2. This gives us:

SO3 —>1/2O2 + SO2 (98 kJ)

S + 3/2O2 —> SO3 (-395 kJ)

Now, we add the two equations together. Notice that the SO3 in the reactants in the first equation and the SO3 in the products of the second equation cancel. Also note that O2 is present on both sides of the equation, so we must subtract 3/2 - 1/2, giving us a net 1O2 on the left side of the equation.

S + O2 —> SO2

Now, we must add the enthalpies together to get our final answer.

-395 kJ + 98 kJ = -297 kJ

Hope this helps!

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

2-Butanone

Explanation:

From the given information:

The presence of mercury as an acid catalyst brings about the addition of water to the triple bond which yields enol. Then, according to Markownikov's rule and after tautomerism has occurred, we have a methyl ketone ( 2- Butanone) as the product.

The answer regarding the transformation is addition and hydration.
