Answer : The percent yield of CO_2 is, 68.4 %

Solution : Given,

Mass of CH_4 = 0.16 g

Mass of O_2 = 0.84 g

Molar mass of CH_4 = 16 g/mole

Molar mass of O_2 = 32 g/mole

Molar mass of CO_2 = 44 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of CH_4 and O_2.

\text{ Moles of }CH_4=\frac{\text{ Mass of }CH_4}{\text{ Molar mass of }CH_4}=\frac{0.16g}{16g/mole}=0.01moles

\text{ Moles of }O_2=\frac{\text{ Mass of }O_2}{\text{ Molar mass of }O_2}=\frac{0.84g}{32g/mole}=0.026moles

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, 0.026 moles of O_2 react with \frac{0.026}{2}=0.013 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.

Now we have to calculate the moles of CO_2

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 2 mole of O_2 react to give 1 mole of CO_2

So, 0.026 moles of O_2 react to give \frac{0.026}{2}=0.013 moles of CO_2

Now we have to calculate the mass of CO_2

\text{ Mass of }CO_2=\text{ Moles of }CO_2\times \text{ Molar mass of }CO_2

\text{ Mass of }CO_2=(0.013moles)\times (44g/mole)=0.572g

Theoretical yield of CO_2 = 0.572 g

Experimental yield of CO_2 = 0.391 g

Now we have to calculate the percent yield of CO_2

\% \text{ yield of }CO_2=\frac{\text{ Experimental yield of }CO_2}{\text{ Theretical yield of }CO_2}\times 100

\% \text{ yield of }CO_2=\frac{0.391g}{0.572g}\times 100=68.4\%

Therefore, the percent yield of CO_2 is, 68.4 %

3. Do distilled water conduct electricity? What will happen if we add sugar to it and
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

It cannot conduct electricity, however adding salt or sugar will make the water have impurities/other substance making it easier to conduct electricity

Explanation:

Distilled water by itself does not contain impurities, thus, it cannot <em>conduct </em>electricity.

When you put salt in water, the water molecules pull the sodium and chlorine ions apart so they are floating freely, increasing the conductivity.

For more information, please refer to the internet :D

Why does the melting of the polar ice caps facilitate the absorption of CO2 by ocean waters?​
Korvikt [17]

hi brainly user! ૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა

⊱┈────────────────────────⊰

Answer:

The melting of the caps increases the concentration of CO2 in the water, making its absorption faster.

⊱┈────────────────────────⊰

Explanation:

<h2><u>CO2 absorption</u><u> </u></h2>

The polar caps of our planet have in their composition several elements, among them the CO2 that is absorbed by the atmosphere. Cold waters, which are present in the Arctic, have an easier time absorbing CO2 compared to other waters.

When glaciers melt, the CO2 that is present in the mixture is dissolved in the ocean, increasing its concentration. The cold waters that came from the ice caps increase the absorption of CO2.

A race car is driven by a professional driver at 99 . What is this speed in and ? 1 mile = 1.61 kilometers 1 hour = 60 minutes E
slavikrds [6]

Answer: The speed is equivalent to <u>159.39 kilometers per hour </u>or <u>2.65 kilometers per minute.</u>

Explanation:

Given, The speed of a race car = 99 miles/ hour

To convert the speed into  kilometers per hour and kilometers per minute

Since   1 mile = 1.61 kilometers

So, Speed of car = (99 ) x (1.61 )

= 159.39 kilometers per hour.

Also, 1 hour = 60 minutes

Then, Speed of car = (159.39) ÷60

= 2.6565≈2.65 kilometer per minute.

Hence, the speed is equivalent to <u>159.39 kilometers per hour </u>or <u>2.65 kilometers per minute.</u>

Why is a typical car battery in a car is filled with a solution of sulferic acid
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Sulfuric acid has a higher density than water, which causes the acid formed at the plates during charging to flow downward and collect at the bottom of the battery.
