Answer:
= 9.28 g CO₂
Explanation:
First write a balanced equation:
CH₄ + 2O₂ -> 2H₂O + CO₂
Convert the information to moles
7.50g CH₄ = 0.46875 mol CH₄
13.5g O₂ = 0.421875 mol O₂
Theoretical molar ratio CH₄:O₂ -> 1:2
Actual ratio is 0.46875 : 0.421875 ≈ 1:1
If all CH₄ is used up, there would need to be more O₂
So O₂ is the limiting reactant and we use this in our equation
Use molar ratio to find moles of CO₂
0.421875 mol O₂ * 1 mol CO₂/2 mol O₂=0.2109375 mol CO₂
Then convert to grams
0.2109375 mol CO₂ = 9.28114 g CO₂
round to 3 sig figs
= 9.28 g CO₂
Answer: The compound in medicines should be non polar.
It is important for any drug to be able to dissolve itself through the cell membrane which consists of a lipid bi-layer, in order to diffuse in the body and circulate biologically, performing its function.
Non polar compounds are lipid soluble and therefore can dissolve in the lipid layers.
Polar compounds are water soluble and fail to cross the cell membrane.
Therefore scientists need to be sure of using compounds that are non polar in nature so they pass through the cell membrane and enter into the blood circulation of the body and perform its due function.
