Balance Chemical Equation for this reaction is,
2 CH₄ + O₂ → 2CH₃OH
According to this eq, 22.4 L (1 moles) of Oxygen requires 44.8 L (2 mole) CH₄ for complete reaction.
So, the volume of CH₄ required to consume 0.66 L of O₂ is calculated as,
22.4 L O₂ required to consume = 44.8 L CH₄
0.660 L O₂ will require = X L of CH₄
Solving for X,
X = (44.8 L × 0.660 L) ÷ 22.4 L
X = 1.320 L of CH₄
Result:
1.320 L of CH₄ <span>gas is needed to react completely with 0.660 L of O</span>₂<span> gas to form methanol (CH</span>₃OH<span>).</span>
Answer:
Because of oxygen toxicity.
Explanation:
Oxygen toxicity.
Oxygen has been known to cause central nervous system (CNS) toxicity when the pressure gets higher. This toxicity can cause convulsions, and this can cause the diver to drown.
The current standard maximum safe oxygen working pressure is 1.4 atm ppO2. This is equal to 56.5m/185′ when breathing air (21% O2 / 79% N). Below that depth the fraction of oxygen in a breathing gas must be reduced, and in order to maintain this maximum pressure of 1.4 ppO2, Helium must be added.
The acid dissociation constant of benzoic acid is 6.5 x 10^-5. Therefore, the pH of the benzoic acid solution prior to adding sodium benzoate is:
pH = -log[Ka]
pH = -log (6.5 x 10^-5)
pH = 4.19
The pH of the benzoic acid solution is 4.19 which is acidic, but a weak acid.
