Answer:

21.6 g

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

  • CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

First we<u> convert the given masses of both reactants into moles</u>, using their <em>respective molar masses</em>:

  • 9.6 g CH₄ ÷ 16 g/mol = 0.6 mol CH₄
  • 64.9 g O₂ ÷ 32 g/mol = 2.03 mol O₂

0.6 moles of CH₄ would react completely with (2 * 0.6) 1.2 moles of O₂. As there are more O₂ moles than required, O₂ is the reactant in excess and CH₄ is the limiting reactant.

Now we <u>calculate how many moles of water are produced</u>, using the <em>number of moles of the limiting reactant</em>:

  • 0.6 mol CH₄ * \frac{2molH_2O}{1molCH_4} = 1.2 mol H₂O

Finally we<u> convert 1.2 moles of water into grams</u>, using its <em>molar mass</em>:

  • 1.2 mol * 18 g/mol = 21.6 g

A slice of pizza has 500 kcal. If we could burn the pizza and use all the heat to warm a 50-L container of cold water, what woul
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

10°C  

Explanation:

Heat gain by water = Heat lost by the slice of pizza

Thus,    

m_{water}\times C_{water}\times \Delta T=Q

<u>For water:  </u>

Volume = 50.0 L

Density of water= 1 kg/L  

So, mass of the water:  

Mass\ of\ water=Density \times {Volume\ of\ water}  

Mass\ of\ water=1 kg/L \times {50.0\ L}  

Mass of water  = 50 kg

Specific heat of water = 1 kcal/kg°C  

ΔT = ?

For slice of pizza:  

Q = 500 kcal

So,

50\times 1\times \Delta T=500  

ΔT = 10°C  

Increase in temperature = 10°C

What is the nucleus of an atom?
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

The atomic nucleus is the small, dense region consisting of protons and neutrons at the center of an atom, discovered in 1911 by Ernest Rutherford based on the 1909 Geiger–Marsden gold foil experiment.

For the following reaction, KP = 0.455 at 945°C: At equilibrium, is 1.78 atm. What is the equilibrium partial pressure of CH4 in
Alborosie

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. However, here's the missing part of the question:

<em>"For the following reaction, Kp = 0.455 at 945 °C: </em>

<em>C(s) + 2H2(g) <--> CH4(g). </em>

<em>At equilibrium the partial pressure of H2 is 1.78 atm. What is the equilibrium partial pressure of CH4(g)?"</em>

With these question, and knowing the value of equilibrium of this reaction we can calculate the partial pressure of CH4.

The expression of Kp for this reaction is:

Kp = PpCH4 / (PpH2)²

We know the value of Kp and pressure of hydrogen, so, let's solve for CH4:

PpCH4 = Kp * PpH2²

*: You should note that we don't use Carbon here, because it's solid, and solids and liquids do not contribute in the expression of equilibrium, mainly because their concentration is constant and near to 1.

Now solving for PpCH4:

PpCH4 = 0.455 * (1.78)²

<u><em>PpCH4 = 1.44 atm</em></u>
