SO2 is the chemical formula for sulfur dioxide, usually when it says dioxide it means two O’s (O2——-> O+O).

Hydrogen bonds form between neighboring water molecules because of:

12345 [234]

*A & B*

Answers A & B are not possible, as Hydrogen “bonds” are intermolecular forces and do not actually involve transfer or sharing of electrons.

*C & D*

Viscosity and surface tension are not the answer as they are not specific enough to the question.

*E*

Polarity of water molecules is the correct answer, as water molecules are highly polar. The partial positive of the Hydrogen on one water molecule is highly attracted to the partial negative of the Oxygen (due to its lone pairs) on another water molecule.

Gaseous methane reacts with gaseous oxygen gas to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water. If 2.59 g of water is produc

<u>Answer:</u> The percent yield of the water is 31.98 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

<u>For methane:</u>

Given mass of methane = 6.58 g

Molar mass of methane = 16 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of methane}=\frac{6.58g}{16g/mol}=0.411mol$

<u>For oxygen gas:</u>

Given mass of oxygen gas = 14.4 g

Molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of oxygen gas}=\frac{14.4g}{32g/mol}=0.45mol$

The chemical equation for the combustion of methane is:

$CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of oxygen gas reacts with 1 mole of methane

So, 0.45 moles of oxygen gas will react with = $\frac{1}{2}\times 0.45=0.225mol$ of methane

As, given amount of methane is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, oxygen gas is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction

2 moles of oxygen gas produces 2 moles of water

So, 0.45 moles of oxygen gas will produce = $\frac{2}{2}\times 0.45=0.45$ moles of water

Now, calculating the mass of water from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Moles of water = 0.45 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.45mol=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{18g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of water}=(0.45mol\times 18g/mol)=8.1g$

To calculate the percentage yield of water, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Experimental yield of water = 2.59 g

Theoretical yield of water = 8.1 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ yield of water}=\frac{2.59g}{8.1g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of water}=31.98\%$

Hence, the percent yield of the water is 31.98 %
