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.

zmey [24]
The minerals in hard water react with soap and affect its cleaning capacity. It's still possible to use hard water when washing by using more soap. The additional soap will no longer be affected by the minerals in the water, so they can clean just as effectively, but you'll be wasting more soap this way.

kap26 [50]

Answer:

Correct option: A

Explanation:

Equilibrium means the state of reaction which there is no net changes occur it means the rate of forward reaction and rate of backward reaction become same and also it does not mean that the concentration of both side i.e. reactant and product become equal. after gaining equlibrium position the concentration of reactant and product remain same and also chemical reaction does not stop and it continues.
