In a study of the conversion of methane to other fuels, a chemical engineer mixes gaseous CH4 and H2O in a 0.32-L flask at 1200

K. At equilibrium the flask contains 0.028 mol of CO, 0.084 mol of H2, and 0.045 mol CH4. What is [H2O] at equilibrium if Kc at this temperature is 0.26

Answer:

[H2O] = 0.0434 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Moles CH4 = 0.045 moles

Moles CO = 0.028 moles

Moles H2 = 0.084 moles

Volume = 0.32 L

Temperature = 1200 K

Kc = 0.26

Step 2: The balanced equation

CH4(g) + H2O(g) ⇆ CO(g) + 3H2(g)

Step 3: Calculate molarity at the equilibrium

[CH4] = 0.045 moles / 0.32 L = 0.141 M

[H2O] = ?

[CO] = 0.028 moles / 0.32 L = 0.0875 M

[H2] = 0.084 moles / 0.32 L = 0.263 M

Step 4: Calculate [H2O]

Kc = 0.26 = [CO][H2]³/[CH4][H2O]

0.26 = 0.0875*0.263³ / 0.141*[H2O]

0.26 = 0.0015917516125 / 0.141*[H2O]

0.141*[H2O] = 0.0015917516125 / 0.26 = 0.006122

[H2O] = 0.0434 M

How many moles of carbon atoms are present<br> in 5.4 moles of glucose?<br> Answer in units of mol.
Delvig [45]

Answer:

32.4 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of C atom present = ?

Number of moles of glucose = 5.4 mol

Solution:

Glucose formula = C₆H₁₂O₆

There are 6 moles of C atoms are present in one mole of glucose.

In 5.4 moles of glucose:

5.4 mol × 6 = 32.4 mol

Question 15 (1 point)
Digiron [165]

Answer:

Atoms are electrically neutral because the number of protons, which carry a 1+ charge, in the nucleus of an atom is equal to the number of electrons, which carry a 1- charge, in the atom. The result is that the total positive charge of the protons cancels out the total negative charge of the electrons so that the net charge of the atom is zero. Most atoms, however, can either gain or lose electrons; when they do so, the number of electrons becomes different from the number of protons in the nucleus. The resulting charged species is called an ion.

Cations and anions

When a neutral atom loses one or more electrons, the total number of electrons decreases while the number of protons in the nucleus remains the same. The result is that the atom becomes a cation—an ion with a net positive charge.

The opposite process can also occur. When a neutral atom gains one or more electrons, the number of electrons increases while the number of protons in the nucleus remains the same. The result is that the atom becomes an anion—an ion with a net negative charge. We can illustrate this by examining some very simple cations and anions, those formed when a single hydrogen atom loses or gains an electron.

Note: Hydrogen is actually somewhat unusual in that it readily forms both cations and anions. Most elements much prefer to form only one or the other. In terms of its electron configuration, can you explain why hydrogen can form both cations and anions? Feel free to post in the comments at the end of the article!
