Answer:

50.8 g

Explanation:

Equation of reaction.

CH_4 + 2O_2 \to CO_2 + 2H_2O

From the given information, the number of moles of methane = mass/ molar mass

= 15.4 g /  16.04 g/mol

= 0.960 mol

number of moles of oxygen gas = 90.3 g / 32 g/ mol

= 2.82 mol

Since 1 mol of methane requires 2 moles of oxygen

Then 0.960 mol of methane will require = 0.960 mol × 2 = 1.92 mol of oxygen gas

Thus, methane serves as a limiting reagent.

2.82 mol oxygen gas will result in 2.82 moles of water

So, the theoretical yield of water = moles × molar mass

= 2.82 mol × 18.01528 g/mol

= 50.8 g

Answer:

Waxy leaves protect the strangler fig from drying winds and sunlight that it is exposed to high in the canopy. Perhaps the most amazing part of this extraordinary tree is its flower. What we think of as the fruit is really a hollow, flower-bearing structure called a cyconia.

An analytical chemist has determined by measurements that there are 96.5 moles of carbon in a sample of acetic acid. how many mo
Nadya [2.5K]
The formula of acetic acid is CH3COOH => C2H4O2.

So, the acetic acid has the same number of atoms of carbon (C) than of oxygen (O).

Therefore, the sample that contains 96.5 moles of carbon, will contain also 96.5 moles of O.

Answer: 96.5 moles of oxygen.

Consider the complete reaction of 43.0 g of silicon with excess nitrogen gas in the reaction shown below. What mass of product f
kupik [55]
The answer to your question is : no.of moles of Si = 43/atomic mass of Si = 43/28.1 = 1.53

according to reaction 3 moles of Si gives 1 mole of Si3N4

so 1.53 mole of Si will give 1.53/3 = 0.51 mole of Si3N4

molar mass of Si3N4 = 140.28 g/mole

it means that 1 mole of Si3N4 = 140.28 g

so 0.51 mole of Si3N4 = 0.51 X 140.28 = 71.543 g

Which of the following reasons correctly explains the color changes that take place when ethylenediamine (C2N2H8) is added to th
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

The water ligands surrounding the cobalt metal center are being replaced by ethylenediamine and chloride ligands which results in a different crystal field splitting. Thus, the energy associated with electron transitions between the do-orbitals will differ for the two compounds showing a color change.

Explanation:

The five d-orbitals are usually degenerate. Upon approach of a ligand, the d-orbitals split into two sets of orbitals depending in the nature of the crystal field.

The magnitude of crystal field splitting is affected by the nature of the ligand. Ligands having filled p-π orbitals such as ethylenediamine lead to greater crystal field splitting.

The change in the colour that takes place when ethylenediamine is added to the solution of cobalt(II) chloride occurs due to a different crystal field splitting pattern. Thus, the energy associated with electron transitions between the d-orbitals now differ for the two compounds showing a color change.
