Suppose 2.8 moles of methane are allowed to react with 5 moles of oxygen.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ronch [10]3 years ago
8 0

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

Which of the following will increase the volume of a gas?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

B. Decreasing the pressure applied to the gas molecules

Explanation:

According to Boyle's Law, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas. So, the option B is correctly implied to it.

Other values such as Temperature, Number of molecules are inversely proportional to the volume of the gas.

Size of the gas molecules is negligible as compared to volume.

Wolff-kishner reduction (hydrazine, koh, ethylene glycol, 130°c) of the compound shown gave compound
telo118 [61]
The scheme is shown below, the steps involved are as follow,

Step one: Reduction:
               The carbonyl group of given compound on reduction using Wolf Kishner reagent converts the carbonyl group into -CH₂- group.

Step two: Epoxidation:
              The double bond present in starting compound when treated with m-CPBA (<span>meta-Chloroperoxybenzoic acid) gives corrsponding epoxide.

Step three: Reduction:
                The epoxide is reduced to alcohol on treatment with Lithium Aluminium Hydride (LiAlH</span>₄)<span> followed by hydrolysis.

Step four: Oxidation:
               The hydroxyl group (alcohol) is oxidized to carbonyl (ketonic group) using oxidizing agent Chromic acid (H</span>₂CrO₄).
