Answer : The maximum mass of H_2O produced will be,  3.24 grams

Explanation : Given,

Mass of CH_4 = 1.44 g

Mass of O_2 = 9.5 g

Molar mass of CH_4 = 16 g/mole

Molar mass of O_2 = 32 g/mole

Molar mass of H_2O = 18 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{1.44g}{16g/mole}=0.09moles

\text{Moles of }O_2=\frac{\text{Mass of }O_2}{\text{Molar mass of }O_2}=\frac{9.5g}{32g/mole}=0.29moles

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, 1 moles of CH_4 react with 2 mole of O_2

So, 0.09 moles of CH_4 react with 2\times 0.09=0.18 moles of O_2

From this we conclude that, O_2 is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and CH_4 is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of H_2O.

As, 1 mole of CH_4 react to give 2 moles of H_2O

So, 0.09 moles of CH_4 react to give 2\times 0.09=0.18 moles of H_2O

Now we have to calculate the mass of H_2O.

\text{Mass of }H_2O=\text{Moles of }H_2O\times \text{Molar mass of }H_2O

\text{Mass of }H_2O=(0.18mole)\times (18g/mole)=3.24g

Therefore, the maximum mass of H_2O produced will be, 3.24 grams.

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

The air all around us is a mixture of gasses containing nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, argon
KiRa [710]

Answer:

Total pressure = 4.57 atm

Explanation:

Given data:

Partial pressure of nitrogen = 1.3 atm

Partial pressure of oxygen = 1824 mmHg

Partial pressure of carbon dioxide = 247 torr

Partial pressure of argon = 0.015 atm

Partial pressure of water vapor = 53.69 kpa

Total pressure = ?

Solution:

First of all we convert the units other into atm.

Partial pressure of oxygen = 1824 mmHg / 760 = 2.4 atm

Partial pressure of carbon dioxide = 247 torr / 760 = 0.325 atm

Partial pressure of water vapor = 53.69 kpa / 101 = 0.53 atm

Total pressure = Partial pressure of N +  Partial pressure of O +  Partial pressure of CO₂ +  Partial pressure of Ar +  Partial pressure of water vapor

Total pressure = 1.3 atm + 2.4 atm + 0.325 atm + 0.015 atm + 0.53 atm

Total pressure = 4.57 atm

How are pure crystalline substances characterized?
hoa [83]
A pure crystalline substance is a substance with an almost perfect regular and periodic pattern in a solid state. This makes this type of substance a hard one compared to an amorphous substance which is soft because of the irregular pattern within.
