Answer:

The answer to your question is 98.9 %

Explanation:

Data

moles of methane = CH₄ = 2.0

excess air

Percent yield = ?

mass of CO₂ = 87 g

- Balanced chemical reaction

                CH₄  +  2O₂   ⇒  CO₂  +  2H₂O

      Reactants     Elements       Products

             1                    C                   1

             4                   H                   2

             4                   O                   2

- Calculate the molar mass of CH₄

CH₄ = 12 + 4 = 16 g

- Convert the moles to mass

                     16 g of CH₄ ----------------- 1 mol

                       x                -----------------  2 moles

                       x = (2 x 16) / 1

                       x = 32 g of CH₄

-Calculate the theoretical formation of CO₂

                     16 g of CH₄ ----------------- 44 g of CO₂

                     32 g of CH₄ ----------------  x

                            x = (32 x 44) / 16

                            x = 88 g of CO₂

-Calculate the Percent yield

     Percent yield = Actual yield/Theoretical yield x 100

     Percent yield = 87/88 x 100

    Percent yield = 98.9 %

The combustion of 0.25 mol of an unknown organic compound results in the release of 320 kJ of energy. Which of the compounds in
vichka [17]

Answer: C. ethanol

The enthalpy of combustion is the amount of heat produced when one mole of ethanol undergoes complete combustion at 25 ° C and 1 atmosphere pressure, yielding products also at 25 ° C and 1 atm.

<u>The enthalpy of combustion of the unknown compound is</u>

ΔH = - 320 kJ / 0.25 mol = - 1280 kJ / mol

<u>To choose a probable compound according to this combustion enthalpy, we must evaluate the deviation in relation to the values reported in the literature for the three probable compounds</u> (methane, ethylene and ethanol). The deviation (e%) will be calculated according to the following equation,

e% =  ( | ΔHx - ΔH | / ΔHx ) x 100%

where ΔHx is the enthalpy of combustion of the probable compound.

The following table shows the combustion enthalpies of the probable compounds and their deviation in relation to the enthalpy of ΔH = - 1280 kJ / mol

Compound Enthalpy of combustion (kJ/mol)   Deviation

Methane                        - 890.7                                 43.8%

Ehylene                         -1411.2                                   9.3%

Ethanol                        -1368.6                                    6.5%

According to the previous table, we can say that the most probable compound is ethanol, since it has the smallest deviation in relation to the experimental enthalpy value of combustion.

The two main types of weathering are material and chemical.

Mechanical weathering is the disintegration of rock into smaller and smaller fragments.

Chemical weathering transforms the original material into a substance with a different composition and different physical characteristics.

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Main advantages of DDT are the insecticide property and the knoledge about its chemical synthesis.

Explanation:

At that time in 1939 it was discovered that DDT have insecticide properties. It is a useful property because it allows inhibition of insects populations in large areas. Killing insects will reduce the diseases transmitted by them as  typhus and malaria. More over you prevent the destruction of the agricultural crops by the harmful insects.

However the synthesis of the molecule was known way back in 1874. From that time it was plenty of time in which chemistry knowledge evolved so the synthesis at kilograms scale was implemented. High quantities of DDT molecule become available for the market so that in 1945 was available as agricultural insecticide.

It was discovered that DDT have bad effects for human health and also over time some insects developed resistance and their were not affected anymore by the molecule.

You may find the chemical structure of DDT in the attached figure.
