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

Acetylene gas (c2h2) reacts with oxygen gas (o2) to produce carbon dioxide (co2) and water vapor (h2o). how many liters of c2h2
MissTica
According to the balanced equation of the reaction:

2C2H2 + 5O2 → 4CO2 + 2H2O

So we can mention all as liters,

A) as we see that 2 liters of C2H2 react with 5 liters of oxygen to produce 4 liters of CO4 and 2 liters of H2O 

So, when we have 75L of CO2

and when we have 2 L of C2H2 reacts and gives 4 L of CO2

 2C2H2 → 4CO2 

∴ The volume of C2H2 required is:

                    = 75L / 2

                    = 37.5 L

B) and, when we have 75 L of CO2


and 4CO2 → 2H2O 

∴ the volume of H2O required is: 
                               
                            = 75 L /2
                            = 37.5 L 


C) and from the balanced equation and by  the same way:

when 5 liters O2  reacts to give 4 liters of CO2

and we have 75 L of CO2:

5 O2 → 4 CO2 

   ??  ←  75 L

∴ the volume of O2 required is:

                              = 75 *(5/4)

                              = 93.75 L



D) about the using of the number of moles the answer is: 

no, there is no need to find the number of moles as we called everything in the balanced equation by liters and use it as a liter unit to get the volume, without the need to get the number of moles.

A sample of nitrogen is initially at a pressure of 1.7 kPa, a temperature of -10 C and a volume of 7.5 m3. Then the volume is de
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{2.6 kPa}}

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we can use the Combined Gas Laws:

\dfrac{p_{1}V_{1} }{T_{1}} = \dfrac{p_{2}V_{2} }{T_{2}}

Data:

p₁ = 1.7 kPa; V₁ = 7.5 m³;  T₁ =   -10 °C

p₂ = ?;          V₂ = 3.8 m³; T₂ = 200  K

Calculations:

(a) Convert temperature to kelvins

T₁ = (-10   + 273.15) K = 263.15 K

(b) Calculate the pressure

\begin{array}{rcl}\dfrac{1.7 \times 7.5 }{263.15} & = & \dfrac{p_{2} \times 3.8}{200}\\\\0.0485 & = & 0.0190p_{2}\\p_{2} & = & \textbf{2.6 kPa}\\\end{array}\\\text{The new pressure of the gas is \boxed{\textbf{2.6 kPa}}}

Distinguish between mass and weight
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

There is a basic difference, because mass is the actual amount of material contained in a body and is measured in kg, gm, etc. Whereas weight is the force exerted by the gravity on that object mg. Note that mass is independent of everything but weight is different on the earth, moon, etc.
