Answer:
a) Order of a reaction is always a whole number
Explanation:
Order of a reaction is not always whole number. It can be zero, or fractional .
The balanced equation for the above reaction is;
CH₄ + 2O₂ ---> CO₂ + 2H₂O
Stoichiometry of CH₄ to O₂ is 1:2
The number of methane moles present - 1.44 g/ 16 g/mol = 0.090 mol
Number of oxygen moles present - 9.5 g/ 32 g/mol = 0.30 mol
If methane is the limiting reagent,
0.090 moles of methane react with 0.090x 2 = 0.180 mol
only 0.180 mol of O₂ is required but 0.30 mol of O₂ has been provided therefore O₂ is in excess and CH₄ is the limiting reactant.
Number of moles of water that can be produced - 0.180 mol
Therefore mass of water produced - 0.180 x 18 g/mol = 3.24 g
Therefore mass of 3.24 g of water can be produced
Answer:
96 grams
Explanation:
Density = mass / volume Multiply both sides by the volume
density * volume = mass
mass = 8 g / cm^3 * 12 cm^3
mass = 96 grams
