The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:

How much heat is produced when 24.8 g of $CH_4$ is burned in excess oxygen gas

Given: $CH _4
+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O$ ΔH= −802 kJ.

Answer: 1243.1 kJ

Explanation:

Heat of combustion is the amount of heat released on complete combustion of 1 mole of substance.

Given :

Amount of heat released on combustion of 1 mole of methane = 802 kJ kJ/mol

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at NTP, weighs equal to the molecular mass and contains avogadro's number $6.023\times 10^{23}$ of particles.

1 mole of $CH_4$ weighs = 16 g

Thus we can say:

16 g of $CH_4$ on combustion releases heat = 802 kJ

Thus 24.8 g of $CH_4$ on combustion releases = $\frac{802}{16}\times 24.8=1243.1kJ$

Thus heat released when 24.8 g of methane is burned in excess oxygen gas is 1243.1 kJ

Many homeowners treat their lawns with CaCO3(s) to reduce the acidity of the soil. Write a net ionic equation for the reaction o

Agata [3.3K]

The reaction of acid, assuming HCl and calcium carbonate always produces a gas. The reaction is as follows:
2 HCl + CaCO3 --> CaCl2 + H2CO3
H2CO3, carbonic acid, is a weak acid that is unstable in water solutions at high concentrations. As such, it decomposes:
H2CO3 --> H2O + CO2
Then,
2 HCl + CaCO3 --> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2
The total ionic equation looks as follows:
2H+(aq) + 2 Cl-(aq) + CaCO3(s) --> Ca+2(aq) + 2 Cl-(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)
Clearly, Cl- is a spectator ion as it is unchanged in the reaction. The net ionic reaction looks as follows:
2 H+(aq) + CaCO3(s) --> Ca+2(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

In a solution with a pH of 4, the [OH-] is: 1x 10-10 1x 10-4 10 - 1x 10-8

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

1 x 10^-4

Explanation:

Use the equation pH = -log[OH-}

Rearranging it [OH-] = 10^-pH

Plugging in we get [OH-] = 1 x 10^-4

a flask contains 2 gases. the first gas has a pressure of 0.76 atm and the second gas gas a pressure of 4,500 Pa. what is the to

Liula [17]

Answer:

The total pressure is 0,804 atm

Explanation:

We use Dalton's law according to which the sum of the partial pressures is equal to the total pressure of a gas mixture. We convert the pressure in Pascals to atmosphere (it can also be done in reverse):

101300Pa ----1 atm

4500Pa----x= (4500Pa x 1atm)/101300Pa= 0,044 atm

P total= p1 + p2= 0,76 atm + 0,044 atm=0,804 atm
