Answer:

Its rich carbon content gives coal most of its energy content. When coal is burned in the presence of air or oxygen, heat energy is released. This energy can then be converted to other forms of useful energy. Coal-fired plants produce electricity by burning coal in a boiler to produce steam. The steam produced, under tremendous pressure, flows into a turbine, which spins a generator to create electricity.

Which of the following gases experience the greatest degree of deviation from ideal behavior under high pressures and low temper

xz_007 [3.2K]

A) CH4

In general, methane reactions are difficult to control. Partial oxidation to methanol, for example, is a rather difficult reaction because the chemical reactions that occur continue to form carbon dioxide and water even though the amount of oxygen available is insufficient.

<h2>Further explanation </h2>

Methane is the simplest hydrocarbon in the form of gas with the chemical formula CH4. Pure methane does not smell, but if used for commercial purposes, a bit of sulfur is usually added to detect leaks that might occur.

Methane is a greenhouse gas. Methane is used in chemical industrial processes and can be transported as frozen liquids (liquefied natural gas, or LNG).

Methane is a major component of natural gas, around 87% of volume.

Methane is not toxic, but is highly flammable and can cause explosions when mixed with air.

determine mass of water formed when 12.5 L NH3(at298K and 1.50atm) is reacted with 18.9L of O2 (at 323K and 1.1atm)

sasho [114]

The mass of water formed is

<u><em>calculation</em></u>

Use the ideal gas equation to calculate the moles of NH3 and O2

that is Pv= n RT

where; P= pressure,

V= volume,

n = number of moles,

R=gas constant = 0.0821 l .atm/ mol.K

make n the formula of the subject by diving both side by RT

n = PV /RT

The moles of NH3

n= (1.50 atm x 12.5 L) /( 0.0821 L. atm /mol.k x 298 K) =0.766 moles

The moles of O2

=(1.1 atm x 18.9 L) / ( 0.0821 L. atm/ mol.k x 323 K) = 0.784 moles

write the reaction between NH3 and O2

4 NH3 + 5 O2 →4 No +6H2O

from equation above 0.766 moles of NH3 reacted to produce

0.766 x 6/4 =1.149 moles of H2O

0.784 moles of O2 reacted to produce 0.784 x 6/5=0.9408 moles of H20

since O2 is totally consumed, O2 is the limiting reagent and therefore the moles of H2O produced= 0.9408 moles

mass of H2O = moles x molar mass

from periodic table the molar mass of H2O = (1 x2)+16= 18 g/mol

mass = 18 g/mol x 0.9408 moles= 16.93 grams

How many moles of na2co3 are necessary to reach stoichiometric quantities with cacl2

lbvjy [14]

0.0102 moles Na₂CO₃ = 1.08g of Na₂CO₃ is necessary to reach stoichiometric quantities with cacl2.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Based on the reaction

CaCl₂ + Na₂CO₃ → 2NaCl + CaCO₃

1 mole of CaCl₂ reacts per mole of Na₂CO₃

we have to calculate how many moles of CaCl2•2H2O are present in 1.50 g

We must calculate the moles of CaCl2•2H2O using its molar mass (147.0146g/mol) in order to answer this issue.
These moles, which are equal to moles of CaCl2 and moles of Na2CO3, are required to obtain stoichiometric amounts.
Then, we must use the molar mass of Na2CO3 (105.99g/mol) to determine the mass:

<h3>Moles CaCl₂.2H₂O:</h3>

1.50g * (1mol / 147.0146g) = 0.0102 moles CaCl₂.2H₂O = 0.0102moles CaCl₂

Moles Na₂CO₃:

0.0102 moles Na₂CO₃

Mass Na₂CO₃:

0.0102 moles * (105.99g / mol) = 1.08g of Na₂CO₃ are present

Therefore, we can conclude that 0.0102 moles Na₂CO₃ is necessary.to reach stoichiometric quantities with cacl2.
