Answer:

B. The reaction produce a gas as a product.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, the total mass of reactants must be equal to the total mass of products because mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.

The total mass of the reactants is 7 grams. The total mass of the products and the beaker is 5 grams. This means that the mass of products is less than the mass of reactants.

The only plausible explanation for this is that the reaction produced a gaseous product which escaped because the system is an open system thereby leading to a  lesser measured mass of products since mass can not be created nor destroyed.

Consider the reaction ch3oh(l)→ch4(g)+1/2o2(g). part a calculate δrh∘298.
Vsevolod [243]
To determine the standard heat of reaction, ΔHrxn°, let's apply the Hess' Law.

ΔHrxn° = ∑(ν×ΔHf° of products) - ∑(ν×ΔHf° of reactants)
where
ν si the stoichiometric coefficient of the substances in the reaction
ΔHf° is the standard heat of formation

The ΔHf° for the substances are the following:
CH₃OH(l) = -238.4 kJ/mol
CH₄(g) = -74.7 kJ/mol
O₂(g) = 0 kJ/mol

ΔHrxn° = (1 mol×-74.7 kJ/mol) - ∑(1 mol×-238.4 kJ/mol)
ΔHrxn° = +163.7 kJ
