Answer:

B. 96.12 g

Explanation:

To solve this question we must convert each reactant to moles. Using the balanced equation we can find limiting reactant. With moles of limiting reactant we can find the moles of methanol and its mass:

Moles CO -Molar mass: 28.01g/mol-

140.1g CO * (1mol / 28.01g) = 5.0 moles CO

Moles H2 -Molar mass: 2.01g/mol-

12.12g * (1mol / 2.01g) = 6.03 moles H2

For a complete reaction of 5.0 moles of CO are required:

5.0moles CO * (2mol H2 / 1mol CO) = 10.0 moles of H2 are required

As there are just 6.03 moles, H2 is limiting reactant.

The moles of methanol produced are:

6.03 moles H2 * (1mol CH3OH / 2mol H2) = 3.015 moles CH2OH

Mass CH3OH -Molar mass32.04g/mol-:

3.015 moles CH2OH * (32.04g/mol) =

96.6g CH3OH ≈ B. 96.12 g

If you had 2.50 moles of anything, how many of those things would you have?

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

1.51 x 10²⁴ things

Explanation:

According to Avogadro's Constant.

1 mole of any substance, constains 6.02×10²³ particles of that subtance.

From the question,

If we have 2.50 moles of anything,

1 mole of anything ⇒ 6.02×10²³ things

2.50 moles of anything ⇒ y things

solving for y

y = (2.50× 6.02×10²³)/1

y = 15.05×10²³

y = 1.505×10²⁴

y ≈ 1.51×10²⁴

Water sits in an open beaker. assuming constant temperature and pressure, the vapor pressure of the water ______________ as the

user100 [1]

For a given system, vapor pressure can be defined as the pressure exerted by the vapor phase in equilibrium with the condensed phase.

In this case, as water sits in an open beaker it tends to evaporate thereby forming water vapor. This vapor phase then exerts a pressure over the liquid water, which is termed as the vapor pressure of water at that temperature and pressure. As water continues to evaporate, more and more molecules escape into the vapor phase which thereby increases the vapor pressure.

Ans: The vapor pressure of water increases as the water evaporates.

Answer:

Group 18th

Explanation:

The group 18th of periodic table which is composed of Noble gases mainly was missing from the Mendeleev's periodic table. The reason for this is that Noble gases are least reactive, therefore, it was difficult to predict such elements which do not react with other elements.
