What is the sum of the coefficients needed to balance the combustion reaction of methane?

Chemistry

pishuonlain [190]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:  The sum of the coefficients needed to balance the combustion reaction of methane is 6.

Explanation:

Combustion is a chemical reaction in which hydrocarbons are burnt in the presence of oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

The chemical equation for combustion of methane will be :

CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

The coefficient foer methane is 1 , 2 for oxygen , 1 for carbon dioxide and 2 for water. The sum is 6.

What part of a refracting telescope would you measure to find the aperture? *
andrezito [222]

Answer:

Objective

Optics

For an optical instrument, the aperture is the diameter of the objective lens (refracting telescope) or the primary mirror (reflecting telescope). The larger the aperture, the more light the telescope can gather, and the fainter the limiting magnitude of the instrument.

Four research teams measured the rotation period of a newly detected neutron star, and what each team wrote in its team notebook
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The correct measurement is .710 s which is equal to .71 s so second measurement that is 0.71 s is most accurate measurement .

B.  0.71s is the most accurate .

Precision depends upon measuring instrument . Measurement by highly precise instrument has greater precision .

The measurement of 0.75 ± 0.002s must have been taken from high precise instrument because it is capable of making measurement upto 3 decimal points .

Hence

C 0.75 ± 0.002s is most precise measurement .

if the percent yield ofr the following reaction is 75% and 45.0g of NO2 are consumed with ercess water in the reaction. how many
NISA [10]

Answer:

30.8 grams of nitric acid are produced

Explanation:

Let's state the reaction:

3 NO₂ + H₂O → 2 HNO₃ + NO

If water is the excess reagent, then the limiting is the gas.

We convert the mass to moles:

45 g . 1 mol/ 46 g = 0.978 moles

Ratio is 3:2. 3 moles of gas can produce 2 moles of acid

Then, 0.978 moles may produce (0.978 . 2) /3 = 0.652 moles of acid

This is the 100% yield, but in this case, the percent yield is 75%

0.652 moles . 0.75 = 0.489 moles

Let's convert the moles to mass → 0.489 mol . 63g / 1mol = 30.8 g

A sample of gas has an initial volume of 22.6 L at a pressure of 1.67 atm. If the sample is compressed to a volume of 10.0 L : ,
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

3.74 atmospheres

Explanation:

If the temperature is constant, then the formula is

V*P = V1 * P1

V = 22.6 L

P = 1.67 atm

V1 = 10.0 L

P1 = ??

=============

22.6 * 1.67 = 10 * P1

37.742 = 10 * P1

37.742/10 = P1

P1 = 3.742

Note there are 3 sig digs in each given, so the answer should be

P1 = 3.74 atmospheres
