Answer:
1.45 x 10⁻² g CO₂
Explanation:
To find the mass of carbon dioxide, you need to (1) convert grams CH₄ to moles CH₄ (via molar mass), then (2) convert moles CH₄ to moles CO₂ (via mole-to-mole ratio from reaction coefficients), and then (3) convert moles CO₂ to grams CO₂ (via molar mass). The final answer should have 3 sig figs to reflect the given value (5.30 x 10⁻³ g).
Molar Mass (CH₄): 12.011 g/mol + 4(1.008 g/mol)
Molar Mass (CH₄): 16.043 g/mol
Combustion of Methane:
1 CH₄ + 2 O₂ ---> 2 H₂O + 1 CO₂
Molar Mass (CO₂): 12.011 g/mol + 2(15.998 g/mol)
Molar Mass (CO₂): 44.007 g/mol
5.30 x 10⁻³ g CH₄ 1 mole 1 mole CO₂ 44.007 g
--------------------------- x ---------------- x --------------------- x ----------------- =
16.043 g 1 mole CH₄ 1 mole
= 0.0145 g CO₂
= 1.45 x 10⁻² g CO₂
The answer to the question is D.
Answer:
If I could have a super power it would be invisibility. Sometimes you wish you weren't there and if you were hiding from someone then they couldn't find you.
