The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Gaseous methane (CH4) reacts with gaseous oxygen gas (O2) to produce gaseous carbon dioxide (CO2) and gaseous water (H2O). If 28.2 g of carbon dioxide is produced from the reaction of 15.1 g of methane and 81.2 g of oxygen gas, Calculate the percent yield of carbon dioxide. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits in it.

Answer:

71.1%

Explanation:

The balanced reaction equation must first be written;

CH4 (g) + 2O2 (g) → CO2 (g) + 2H2O (g)

Let us obtain the number of moles of carbon dioxide corresponding to 28.2 g

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass= 28.2/44.01 g/mol = 0.64 moles of CO2

Next, we obtain the limiting reactant. This is the reactant that yields the least amount of product.

For methane;

Number of moles in 15.1 g= mass/molar mass= 15.1/16gmol-1 = 0.9 moles

From the reaction equation;

1 mole of methane yields 1 mole of carbon dioxide

Hence 0.9 moles of methane yields 0.9 moles of carbon dioxide.

For oxygen

Number of moles of oxygen corresponding to 81.2 g of oxygen= mass/ molar mass= 81.2g/32gmol-1 = 2.5 moles of oxygen

From the reaction equation;

2 moles of oxygen gas yields 1 mole of carbon dioxide

2.5 moles of oxygen gas yields 2.5 × 1 /2 = 1.25 moles of carbon dioxide.

Methane is the limiting reactant.

Theoretical yield of carbon dioxide= 0.9 moles

Actual yield of carbon dioxide= 0.64 moles

% yield = actual yield/ theoretical yield × 100

% yield= 0.64/0.9 ×100

% yield = 71.1%

PLEASE HELP

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 0.10 M

Explanation:

Data

Molarity = ?

mass of Sucrose = 125 g

volume = 3.5 l

Formula

Molarity = moles / volume

Process

1.- Calculate the molar mass of sucrose

C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ = (12 x 12) + (1 x 22) + (16 x 11)

= 144 + 22 + 176

= 342 g

2.- Convert the mass of sucrose to moles

342 g of sucrose ------------------- 1 mol

125 g of sucrose -------------------- x

x = (125 x 1) / 342

x = 0.365 moles

3.- Calculate the molarity

Molarity = 0.365 / 3.5

4.- Result

Molarity = 0.10

Which characteristic of water helps it form droplets?

inessss [21]

Answer: C. High surface tension

Explanation:

Water has high specific heat as it require high heat to raise the temperature of 1 g of water through $1^0C$ .

Surface tension is the net downward force acting on the surface of liquids due to the cohesive nature of liquids.

Water molecules are bonded by strong hydrogen bonding between the hydrogen atom and the electronegative oxygen atom making it polar. Thus water molecules present on the surface are strongly attracted by the molecules present below the surface and thus act as a stretched membrane.

The surface acquires a minimum surface are and thus acquire a spherical shape.
