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

A researcher wants to test the solubility (property of being dissolved) of salt in water as the temperature of the water increas
Leya [2.2K]
The researcher may first weight the beaker with water and then start to heat the water to a constant temperature, for example 30 °C and then start adding salt and stirring. He should add salt slowly until solid salt starts to become visible and the solution starts becoming cloudy. When this happens, he should quickly weigh the beaker. The increase in mass is the mass of salt dissolved at that temperature.
The procedure is then repeated but at an increased temperature until 5-6 temperatures have been tested.

Answer:

A. 6atm

Explanation:

Using pressure law equation:

P1/T1 = P2/T2

Where;

P1 = initial pressure (atm)

T1 = initial temperature (K)

P2 = final pressure (atm)

T2 = final temperature (K)

According to this question;

P1 = 3 atm

P2 = ?

T1 = 120K

T2 = 240K

Using P1/T1 = P2/T2

3/120 = P2/240

Cross multiply

240 × 3 = P2 × 120

720 = 120P2

P2 = 720/120

P2 = 6atm

C3H8 + 5 O2 → 3 CO2 + 4 H2O<br> What is the number of atoms on each side of the equation?
Roman55 [17]

Answer: 1.2642*10²⁵ on both sides

Explanation:

First check how many moles are there on each side.
Since this is a balanaced equataion the number of moles on each side is the same thus the number of atoms is also same on both sides

There are 3 moles of carbon and 8 moles of hydrogen in C3H8
and 2 moles of oxygen in O2 but there 5 infront so 2*5 is 10
Number of moles on the right is 10+8+3 = 21

Now use Avogrado's constant

21 Moles* (6.02*10²³)/Mol
= 21*6.02*10²³

= 1.2642*10²⁵
