Answer:
0.74 grams of methane
Explanation:
The balanced equation of the combustion reaction of methane with oxygen is:
it is clear that 1 mol of CH₄ reacts with 2 mol of O₂.
firstly, we need to calculate the number of moles of both
for CH₄:
number of moles = mass / molar mass = (3.00 g) / (16.00 g/mol) = 0.1875 mol.
for O₂:
number of moles = mass / molar mass = (9.00 g) / (32.00 g/mol) = 0.2812 mol.
- it is clear that O₂ is the limiting reactant and methane will leftover.
using cross multiplication
1 mol of CH₄ needs → 2 mol of O₂
??? mol of CH₄ needs → 0.2812 mol of O₂
∴ the number of mol of CH₄ needed = (0.2812 * 1) / 2 = 0.1406 mol
so 0.14 mol will react and the remaining CH₄
mol of CH₄ left over = 0.1875 -0.1406 = 0.0469 mol
now we convert moles into grams
mass of CH₄ left over = no. of mol of CH₄ left over * molar mass
= 0.0469 mol * 16 g/mol = 0.7504 g
So, the right choice is 0.74 grams of methane
The answers would be:
In a solution, the solvent is present in a greater amount.
In a solutions, the solute dissolves in a solvent.
In general, these are the best answers. The solute is what is being dissolved and the solvent is what dissolves. A solvent comes in greater amounts in a solution and it is the dissolving agent.
For example, sugar and water.
To make a sugar water solution, you will need to dissolve sugar in water. Sugar is the solute in this case because it is what is being dissolved. The water is the solvent, because it dissolves the sugar.
If you had more sugar than water, then you cannot make a solution.
