Answer:

CH₄ + 2O₂ —> CO₂ + 2H₂O

Explanation:

The thermochemical equation for the combustion of methane can be obtained as follow:

Methane (CH₄) under goes combustion in the presence of air (O₂) to produce carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O). This can be represented in the equation below:

CH₄ + O₂ —> CO₂ + H₂O

Thus, we can balance the equation as follow:

CH₄ + O₂ —> CO₂ + H₂O

There are 4 atoms of H on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of H₂O as shown below:

CH₄ + O₂ —> CO₂ + 2H₂O

There are a total of 4 atoms of O on the right side and 1 atom on the left side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of O₂ as shown below:

CH₄ + 2O₂ —> CO₂ + 2H₂O

Now the equation is balanced.

When a mixture of 12.0 g of acetylene (c2h2 and 12.0 g of oxygen (o2 is ignited, the resultant combustion reaction produces co2
valina [46]
The product of the complete combustion of any fuel (in this case, acetylene) are indeed water and carbon dioxide. 
Balancing the combustion reaction,
                           C2H2 +(5/2) O2 --> 2CO2 + H2O
The number of moles of C2H2 will be,
                        (12 g) x (1 mole/26 g) = 6/13 mole
Then, the number of moles of O2 is,
                         (12 g) x (1 mole/32 g) = 3/8 mole
Therefore the limiting reaction is the O2. Getting the amount of CO2 and H2O produced from balancing,
             CO2 = (3/8 moles) x (2 moles CO2/ 5/2 mole O2)(44 g/ 1 mole) = 52.8 g
             H2O = (3/8 moles) x (1 mole / 5/2 mole O2)(18 g / 1 mole) = 2.7 g

A gas mixture at 0°C and 1.0atm contains 0.010mol of H2, 0.015mol of O2, and 0.025mol of N2. Assuming ideal behavior, what is th
Olegator [25]

Answer:

PH₂ = 0.2 atm

C) About 0.20atm, because H2 comprises 20% of the total number of moles of gas.

Explanation:

To determine the partial pressure of hydrogen gas (H2) in the mixture,

Partial pressure H₂ = Ptotal * xH₂

xH₂ = Mole fraction of H₂ = ∩H₂ / ( ∩H₂ + ∩O₂ + ∩N₂)

xH₂ = 0.01 / (0.01 + 0.015 + 0.025)

xH₂ = 0.01/0.05

xH₂ = 0.2

therefore

PH₂ = pT * xH₂

PH₂ = 1.0 atm * 0.2

PH₂ = 0.2 atm

so the correct option is C)  About 0.20atm, because H2 comprises 20% of the total number of moles of gas.
