Answer:
= 9.28 g CO₂
Explanation:
First write a balanced equation:
CH₄ + 2O₂ -> 2H₂O + CO₂
Convert the information to moles
7.50g CH₄ = 0.46875 mol CH₄
13.5g O₂ = 0.421875 mol O₂
Theoretical molar ratio CH₄:O₂ -> 1:2
Actual ratio is 0.46875 : 0.421875 ≈ 1:1
If all CH₄ is used up, there would need to be more O₂
So O₂ is the limiting reactant and we use this in our equation
Use molar ratio to find moles of CO₂
0.421875 mol O₂ * 1 mol CO₂/2 mol O₂=0.2109375 mol CO₂
Then convert to grams
0.2109375 mol CO₂ = 9.28114 g CO₂
round to 3 sig figs
= 9.28 g CO₂
Answer: Molecules of gas are usually far apart and can be compressed unlike molecules of liquids.
Explanation:
The molecules of gases are usually far apart, moving freely and randomly, occupying extra space in the containing vessel. Hence, when compressed to become closely packed, gases have lower volume.
However, unlike gases, the molecules of a liquid are restricted, move less freely and occupy no extra space. Hence, liquids cannot be compressed, and their volume remains the same in their containing vessel.
A is correct................
Answer:
Percent yield = 90.8%
Explanation:
The reaction of Fe with S to produce FeS is:
Fe + S → FeS
<em>Where the moles of Fe added in excess of S are the moles of FeS</em>
<em />
Now, percent yield is defined as 100 times the ratio between actual yield (13.8g of FeS) and theoretical yield (15.2g FeS):
Percent yield = 13.8g / 15.2g * 100
<h3>Percent yield = 90.8%</h3>
