25.5 g of methane burns in the combustion reaction below. How much water is produced in this reaction

1 answer:

5 0

CH4 + O2 ===> H2O + CO2 Bare Equation. This is a Combustion Reaction.
CH4 + 2O2====>2H2O + CO2 Balanced equation. You start with this.

Step One
=======
Find the moles of Methane.
1 mole of methane has a mass of
C = 12
O2 = 2 * 16 = 32
1 mol of CO2 = 12 + 32 = 44 grams / mole

Step Two
======
Calculate the number of moles of methane.
given mass (g) = 25.5 grams
molar Mass = 44

mol = given mass / molar mass
mol = 25.5 / 44
mol = 0.5795 mols methane.

Step Three
========
Find the moles of water.
For ever mole of methane, 2 moles of water are produced.

1 mol methane. . . . . . .. .0.5795 mols methane
=========== . . . . .= . .================ . . . . .
2 mol water . . . . . . . . . . .. .. . .x

Mole of water = 2 * 0.5795
mole of water = 1.159

Step Four
=======
Find the mass of water.
1 mol = 2H + O = 2 + 16 = 18 grams / mol

desired mass = mols * Molar mass
desired mass = 1.159 * 18
desired mass = 20.86 grams of water.

If you do these questions by dimensional analysis, this problem can be done all in 1 step. It would look like this.

25.5 g [1mol /44grams]*[2mol water / 1 mol meth]*[18 grams / 1 mol water]

Why does a raindrop accelerate as it falls to the earth?

allochka39001 [22]

Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its speed. When a raindrop is falling down from the clouds due to gravity, the veloicty is pretty much fast, however air resistance comes in action and slows the droplet down... it gives it a constant speed until it hits the ground

What is the limiting reactant for the following balanced equation when 9 moles of AlF3 are mixed with 12 miles of O2?

tamaranim1 [39]

<h2>Answer: $AlF_{3}$ </h2>

Explanation:

The chemical equation of the reaction that occurs when $AlF_{3}$ reacts with $O_{2}$ is

$4AlF_{3}+3O_{2}$ → $2Al_{2}O_{3}+6F_{2}$

$4$ moles of $AlF_{3}$ requires $3$ moles of $O_{2}$ .

$1$ mole of $AlF_{3}$ requires $\frac{3}{4}$ moles of $O_{2}$ .

Given that we have $9$ moles of $AlF_{3}$ .

$9$ moles of $AlF_{3}$ requires $\frac{3}{4}\times 9=6.75$ moles of $O_{2}$ .

But we have $12$ moles of $O_{2}$ .

So, $AlF_{3}$ will be consumed first.

So, $AlF_{3}$ is the limiting reagent.

Draw the product formed when the compound shown below undergoes a reaction with hcl in ch2cl2.

Taya2010 [7]

The product formed when HCl and CH2Cl2 react is CH4
H
H-C- H methane structure
H

HCl react with CH2Cl2 to form methane (CH4) and chlorine gas(Cl2)
that is,

2HCl(g) + CH2Cl2(l) = CH4 (g) +2Cl2 (g)
