Answer is: 4.45 grams of methane gas <span>need to be combusted</span>.
Balanced chemical reaction: CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O.
Ideal gas law: p·V = n·R·T.<span>
p = 1.1 atm.
T = 301 K.
V(H</span>₂O) <span>= 12.5 L.
R = 0,08206 L·atm/mol·K.
</span>n(H₂O) = <span>1.1 atm · 12.5 L ÷ 0,08206 L·atm/mol·K · 301 K.
</span>n(H₂O) = 0.556 mol.
From chemical reaction: n(H₂O) : n(CH₄) = 2 : 1.
n(CH₄) = 0.556 mol ÷ 2 = 0.278 mol.
m(CH₄) = 0.278 mol · 16 g/mol.
m(CH₄) = 4.448 g.

1. A 2-kg bowling ball sits on top of a building that is 40 meters tall. (5 pts) Circle one: KE / GPE / both ( can you show work
masha68 [24]
Potential energy is energy due to an object's height above the ground.
Potential energy = mass x gravity x height
Kinetic energy is energy due to the motion of the object.
Kinetic energy = 1/2 x mass x velocity²

1.
The ball is not moving and is at a height above the ground so it has only potential energy.
P.E = 2 x 9.81 x 40
P.E = 784.8 J

2.
The ball is moving and has a height above the Earth's surface so it has both kinetic and potential energy.
P.E = same as part 1 = 784.8 J
K.E = 1/2 x 2 x 5²
K.E = 25 J

3.
The ball has no height above the Earth's surface and is moving so it has only kinetic energy.
K.E = 1/2 x 2 x 10²
K.E = 100 J

4.
50000 = 1/2 x 1000 x v²
v = 10 m/s

5.
39200 = 200 x 9.81 x h
h = 20.0 m

6.
12.5 = 1/2 x 1 x v²
v = 5 m/s
98 = 1 x 9.81 x h
h = 10.0 m

Suppose 2.8 moles of methane are allowed to react with 5 moles of oxygen.
Ronch [10]

Answer : The limiting reagent is O_2

Solution : Given,

Moles of methane = 2.8 moles

Moles of O_2 = 5 moles

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 mole of O_2 react with 1 mole of CH_4

So, 5 moles of O_2 react with \frac{5}{2}=2.5 moles of CH_4

From this we conclude that, CH_4 is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and O_2 is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Hence, the limiting reagent is O_2
