Answer:the initial composition of the reactants is

40cm^3 of CH4

40cm^3of H2

100cm^3 of H2O

Explanation:

Balanced reaction is

CH4 +H2+5/2O2______

CO2 +3H2O

Excess KOH at room temperature absorbs CO2 whose volume is given by 40cm^3 i.e the volume by which the solution decreases

So using Gay lussac combining ratio which states that gases combine in volumes that are in simple ratio to each other if gases.

Since CO2 in the equation is 1 mole

Means 1mole represent 40cm^3

So CH4:H2:O2 are in ratio of 1:1:5/2=(40:40:100)cm^3 respectively.

Severus Snape explains that if you have the molar mass of a compound and the empirical formula of a compound you can determine t
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

The molecular formula of the compound :C_4H_6O_2

Explanation:

The empirical formula of the compound =C_2H_3O

The molecular formula of the compound =C_{2n}H_{3n}O_n

The equation used to calculate the valency is :

n=\frac{\text{molecular mass}}{\text{empirical mass}}

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 86 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 43 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

n=\frac{86g/mol}{43g/mol}=2

The molecular formula of the compound :

C_{2\times 2}H_{3\times 2}O_2=C_4H_6O_2
