Methane gas and chlorine gas react to form hydrogen chloride gas and carbon tetrachloride gas. What volume of hydrogen chloride would be produced by this reaction if 1.1 mL of methane were consumed? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer: The volume of hydrogen chloride produced in the reaction will be 4.4 mL

Explanation:

We are given:

Volume of methane gas = 1.1 mL

The chemical equation for the reaction of methane gas and chlorine gas follows:

$CH_4(g)+4Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 4HCl(g)+CCl_4(g)$

Moles of methane gas = 1 mole

Moles of hydrogen chloride gas = 4 moles

The relationship of number of moles and volume at constant temperature and pressure was given by Avogadro's law. This law states that volume is directly proportional to number of moles at constant temperature and pressure.

The equation used to calculate number of moles is given by:

$\frac{V_1}{n_1}=\frac{V_2}{n_2}$

where,

$V_1\text{ and }n_1$ are the volume and number of moles of methane gas

$V_2\text{ and }n_2$ are the volume and number of moles of hydrogen chloride

We are given:

$V_1=1.1mL\\n_1=1mol\\V_2=?L\\n_2=4mol$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\frac{1.1}{1}=\frac{V_2}{4}\\\\V_2=\frac{1.1\times 4}{1}=4.4mL$

Hence, the volume of hydrogen chloride produced in the reaction will be 4.4 mL

How does the number of subatomic particles change as the carbon isotope decays?

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

C decays by a process called beta decay. During this process, an atom of 14C decays into an atom of 14N, during which one of the neutrons in the carbon atom becomes a proton. This increases the number of protons in the atom by one, creating a nitrogen atom rather than a carbon atom.
