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

Draw the most stable resonance structure for the intermediate in the electrophilic aromatic bromination of aniline, anisole, and
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Here's what I get

Explanation:

(a) Intermediates

The three structures below represent one contributor to the resonance-stabilized intermediate, in which the lone pair electrons on the heteroatom are participating (the + charge on the heteroatoms do not show up very well).

(b) Relative Stabilities

The relative stabilities decrease in the order shown.

N is more basic than O, so NH₂ is the best electron donating group (EDG) and will best stabilize the positive charge in the ring. However, the lone pair electrons on the N in acetanilide are also involved in resonance with the carbonyl group, so they are not as available for stabilization of the ring.

(c) Relative reactivities

The relative reactivities would be

C₆H₅-NH₂ >  C₆H₅-OCH₃ > C₆H₅-NHCOCH₃

Compare and contrast the burning of wood and the metabolism of glucose in your cells. How are they similar, and how are they dif
Alisiya [41]

Burning of wood is a combustion reaction and the metabolism of glucose in your cells is cellular respiratory reaction.

Cellular respiration releases stored energy in glucose molecules and converts it into a form of energy that can be used by cells.

Cellular respiration is the process by which organisms combine oxygen with foodstuff molecules, diverting the chemical energy in these substances into life-sustaining activities and discarding, as waste products, carbon dioxide and water.

Wood as well as many common items that combust are organic (i.e., they are made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen). When organic molecules combust the reaction products are carbon dioxide and water (as well as heat)

Similarities:

1. Combustion reaction and metabolism of glucose both require oxygen.

2. Combustion and metabolism of glucose both product carbon dioxide and water

3. Both produces by-products: After cellular respiration and combustion have gotten what they needed from the wood, there will be byproducts from the conversion. In the case of combustion, they are noxious gases like carbon monoxide. In the case of respiration, the sugar molecule is broken into two molecules of pyruvic acid.

4. Catalyst: While breaking apart the bonds to release the stored energy either combustion or sugars for respiration the bonds will not broken by themselves. In each case, a catalyst is required to start the reaction that will break the bonds apart. In the case of combustion, the catalyst is a spark. Wood are flammable, so the spark will ignite the burning, breaking apart the bonds and releasing the energy. For respiration, enzymes are used to break the sugar molecule apart.

Differences

1. Glucose metabolism produces a chemical energy, while combustion produces light and heat energy.

2. Glucose metabolism is an endothermic reaction while combustion is an exothermic reaction (produces heat)

What is the purpose of galvanization?​
frutty [35]
Galvanizing protects from rust in a number of ways: It forms a barrier that prevents corrosive substances from reaching the underlying steel or iron. The zinc serves as a sacrificial anode so that even if the coating is scratched, the exposed steel will still be protected by the remaining zinc.
