Answer:

There is 9.6 grams of CO2 produced

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of methane = 5.50 grams

Molar mass of methane = 16.04 g/mol

Mass of oxygen = 13.9 grams

Molar mass of oxygen = 32.0 g/mol

Step 2: The reaction

CH4(g) + 2O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)

Step 3: Calculate number of moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles methane = 5.50 grams / 16.04 g/mol

Moles methane = 0.343 moles

Moles oxygen = 13.9 grams / 32.0 g/mol

Moles oxygen = 0.434 moles

For 1 mol CH4 we need 2 moles O2 to produce 1 mol CO2 and 2 moles H2O

O2 is the limiting reactant. It will completely react (0.434 moles).

There will react 0.434/2 = 0.217 moles CH4

There will remain 0.343-0.217 = 0.126 moles CH4

There will be produced 0.434 moles of H2O and

0.434/2 =0.217 moles of CO2

Step 4: Calculate mass of products

Mass = moles * molar mass

Mass CO2 = 0.217 moles ¨44.01 g/mol

Mass CO2 = 9.6 grams

Mass H2O = 0.434 moles * 18.02

Mass H2O = 7.8 grams

3. Heat can be thought of as the movement of particles (molecules etc). The faster they move the hotter things are. Energy of movement is called kinetic energy. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles, while thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of the particles.

Why doesnt it exist?
belka [17]

Answer:

He2 molecule contains 4 electrons. Each atom gives 2 electrons in 1s orbitals. This way 2 (1s) orbitals combine to give 2 molecular orbitals viz. ... This indicates that there is no bond formation between 2 HE atoms and hence the He2 molecule does not exist.
