Answer:

Hey mate here is your answer in short

Explanation:

An electrolytic cell uses electrical energy to drive a non-spontaneous redox reaction. An electrolytic cell is a kind of electrochemical cell. It is often used to decompose chemical compounds, in a process called electrolysis—the Greek word lysis means to break up.

hope it helps you ❣️

We could use solar power, wind power, geothermal power, hydroelectric power, or nuclear power. There are probably more but this is what I can think of off the top of my head. I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.

Hydrogen gas (a potential future fuel) can be formed by the reaction of methane with water according to the following equation:

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

60.42% is the percent yield of the reaction.

Explanation:

Moles of methane gas at 734 Torr and a temperature of 25 °C.

Volume of methane gas = V = 26.0 L

Pressure of the methane gas = P = 734 Torr = 0.9542 atm

Temperature of the methane gas = T = 25 °C = 298.15 K

Moles of methane gas = n

$PV=nRT$

$n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{0.9542 atm\times 26.0L}{0.0821 atm L/mol K\times 298.15 K}=1.0135 mol$

Moles of water vapors at 700 Torr and a temperature of 125 °C.

Volume of water vapor = V' = 23.0 L

Pressure of water vapor = P' = 700 Torr = 0.9100 atm

Temperature of water vapor = T' = 125 °C = 398.15 K

Moles of water vapor gas = n'

$P'V'=n'RT'$

$n'=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{0.9100 atm\times 23.0L}{0.0821 atm L/mol K\times 398.15 K}=0.6402 mol$

$CH_4(g)+H_2O(g)\rightarrow CO(g)+3H_2(g)$

According to reaction , 1 mol of methane reacts with 1 mol of water vapor. As we can see that moles of water vapors are in lessor amount which means it is a limiting reagent and formation of hydrogen gas will depend upon moles of water vapors.

According to reaction 1 mol of water vapor gives 3 moles of hydrogen gas.

Then 0.6402 moles of water vapor will give:

$\frac{3}{1}\times 0.6402 mol=1.9208 mol$ of hydrogen gas
