Answer:

24.06 g of CO₂

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

CH₄ + 2O₂ —> 2H₂O + CO₂

Next, we shall determine the mass of O₂ that reacted and the mass of CO₂ produced from the balanced equation. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of O₂ = 2 × 16 = 32 g/mol

Mass of O₂ from the balanced equation = 2 × 32 = 64 g

Molar mass of CO₂ = 12 + (2×16)

= 12 + 32

= 44 g/mol

Mass of CO₂ from the balanced equation = 1 × 44 = 44 g

SUMMARY:

From the balanced equation above,

64 g of O₂ reacted to produce 44 g of CO₂.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of CO₂ produced by the reaction of 35 g of O₂. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

64 g of O₂ reacted to produce 44 g of CO₂.

Therefore, 35 g of O₂ will react to produce = (35 × 44)/64 = 24.06 g of CO₂.

Thus, 24.06 g of CO₂ were produced from the reaction.

<h3>Answer:</h3>

There is One electrophilic center in acetyl chloride.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Electrophile is defined as any specie which is electron deficient and is in need of electrons to complete its electron density or octet. The main two types of electrophiles are those species which either contain positive charge (i.e. NO₂⁺, Cl⁺, Br⁺ e.t.c) or partial positive charge like that contained by the sp² hybridized carbon of acetyl chloride shown below in attached picture.

In acetyl chloride the partial positive charge on sp² hybridized carbon is generated due to its direct bonding to highly electronegative elements *with partial negative charge) like oxygen and chlorine, which tend to pull the electron density from carbon atom making it electron deficient and a good electrophile for incoming nucleophile as a center of attack.
