Answer:H2=11.4g
CH4=28.6g
Explanation:The complete combustion of the two gases can be represented by a balanced reaction below
1. CH4 +2O2___CO2+2H2O
2.2H2+O2___2H2O
Combining the two we have CH4 +2H2+3O2___
CO2+4H2O
Since the mixture contains 40gof CH4 and 2, therefore 20g of CH4 and 8g of H2 combines.
Calculated from their molecular Mass i.e CH4 12+4×2)=20 and 2H2= 2×2×2=8g
Mass of CH4=20/28×40=28.6g
2H2=8/28×40=11.4g
B. carbon because it's atomic number is 6
Answer:
Concept: Chemical Analysis
- Start by taking inventory of the elements that you have
- Make a list, one for the right side and another for the left side
- Then add coefficients to the elements to the right or left side to balance out the equation
