Answer:

0.74 grams of methane

Explanation:

The balanced equation of the combustion reaction of methane with oxygen is:

  • CH₄ + 2 O₂ → CO₂ + 2 H₂O

it is clear that 1 mol of CH₄ reacts with 2 mol of O₂.

firstly, we need to calculate the number of moles of both

for CH₄:

number of moles = mass / molar mass = (3.00 g) /  (16.00 g/mol) = 0.1875 mol.

for O₂:

number of moles = mass / molar mass = (9.00 g) /  (32.00 g/mol) = 0.2812 mol.

  • it is clear that O₂ is the limiting reactant and methane will leftover.

using cross multiplication

1 mol of  CH₄ needs → 2 mol of O₂

???  mol of  CH₄  needs → 0.2812 mol of O₂

∴ the number of mol of CH₄ needed = (0.2812 * 1) / 2 = 0.1406 mol

so 0.14 mol will react and the remaining CH₄

mol of CH₄ left over = 0.1875 -0.1406 = 0.0469 mol

now we convert moles into grams

mass of CH₄ left over = no. of mol of CH₄ left over *  molar mass

                                    = 0.0469 mol * 16 g/mol = 0.7504 g

So, the right choice is 0.74 grams of methane

What happens when an electrolyte, NaCl is added to hydrate ferric oxide solution​
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

hydrated ferric oxide is ferric hydoxide sol and is positively charged. When aqueous solution of NaCl is added to it,the Cl- ions neutralise the positive charge on the sol particles. In the absence of charge, brown precipitate is formes due to colloids can be coagulation of particles.Nov 11, 2020

What is the mass of 8.00 moles of sodium chloride
Korolek [52]
N(NaCl)=8 moles

M(NaCl)=A(Na)+A(Cl)
M(NaCl)=22.99+35.45=58.44 g/moles

m(NaCl)=n(NaCl)·M(NaCl)
m(NaCl)=8moles·58.44g/moles=467.52 g
