What is the excess reactant in the combustion of 23 g of methane in the open atmosphere?

Chemistry

6 0

Answer : The excess reactant in the combustion of methane in opem atmosphere is O_{2} molecule.

Solution : Given,

Mass of methane = 23 g

Molar mass of methane = 16.04 g/mole

The Net balanced chemical reaction for combustion of methane is,

CH_4(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+2H_2O(g)

First we have to calculate the moles of methane.

\text{ Moles of methane}=\frac{\text{ Given mass of methane}}{\text{ Molar mass of methane}} = \frac{23g}{16.04g/mole} = 1.434 moles

From the above chemical reaction, we conclude that

1 mole of methane react with the 2 moles of oxygen

and 1.434 moles of methane react to give \frac{2moles\times 1.434moles}{1moles} moles of oxygen

The Moles of oxygen = 2.868 moles

Now we conclude that the moles of oxygen are more than the moles of methane.

Therefore, the excess reactant in the combustion of methane in open atmosphere is O_{2} molecule.

you are holding a bowling ball with a mass of 6 kg at a height of 1 meter. How much gravitational potential energy does the bowl
Bumek [7]

The formula for GPE is PE=mgh, where “m” is the mass of the object, “g” is the acceleration due to gravity (~9.8 m/s^2 on Earth’s surface), and “h” is the height of the object from the ground. Therefore,

PE=mgh

PE=(6 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(1 m)

PE=58.8 kg•m^2/s^2 or 58.8 Newtons

The GPE of the bowling ball under these conditions would be about 59 Newtons.

Hope this helps!

For the reaction 2NH3(g) + 2O2(g)N2O(g) + 3H2O(l) H° = -683.1 kJ and S° = -365.6 J/K The standard free energy change for the rea
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

\Delta G^{0} = -457.9 kJ and reaction is product favored.

Explanation:

The given reaction is associated with 2 moles of NH_{3}

Standard free energy change of the reaction (\Delta G^{0}) is given as:

           \Delta G^{0}=\Delta H^{0}-T\Delta S^{0}   , where T represents temperature in kelvin scale

So, \Delta G^{0}=(-683.1\times 10^{3})J-(273K\times -365.6J/K)=-583291.2J

So, for the reaction of 1.57 moles of NH_{3}, \Delta G^{0}=(\frac{1.57}{2})\times -583291.2J=-457883.592J=-457.9kJ

As, \Delta G^{0} is negative therefore reaction is product favored under standard condition.

How many nonbonding electron pairs are there in the lewis structure of the peroxide ion, o22−?
Tom [10]
There is 6 non - bonding pairs.
Let me show you one easy method to do this.
o22-, oxygen valence electron = 6 here we have two so total 12, and -2 that means we add electrons so it’s all equal to 14 right.
whenever need to find lone pair, subtract the number you get with the lowest multiple of 8.
here we total 14 valence electron right so lowest multiple of 8 would be 8.
so 14 - 8 = 6 and that is our answer.
Let me know if you have Problem with chemistry.

Is wine a homogenous mixure
Fiesta28 [93]

Tap water and rain water are both homogeneous, even though they may have different levels of dissolved minerals and gases. A bottle of alcohol is a man-made homogeneous mixture, from a fine Italian wine to a glass of Scotch whisky. In the human body, blood plasma is an example of a homogeneous mixture.
