Answer:
21.6 g
Explanation:
The reaction that takes place is:
- CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O
First we<u> convert the given masses of both reactants into moles</u>, using their <em>respective molar masses</em>:
- 9.6 g CH₄ ÷ 16 g/mol = 0.6 mol CH₄
- 64.9 g O₂ ÷ 32 g/mol = 2.03 mol O₂
0.6 moles of CH₄ would react completely with (2 * 0.6) 1.2 moles of O₂. As there are more O₂ moles than required, O₂ is the reactant in excess and CH₄ is the limiting reactant.
Now we <u>calculate how many moles of water are produced</u>, using the <em>number of moles of the limiting reactant</em>:
- 0.6 mol CH₄ *
= 1.2 mol H₂O
Finally we<u> convert 1.2 moles of water into grams</u>, using its <em>molar mass</em>:
- 1.2 mol * 18 g/mol = 21.6 g
Answer:
Similarities: both state the mass of chemical species and they have the same numerical value
Differences: molecular mass refers to one single molecule and molar mass refers to one mole of a molecule
Explanation:
The molecular mass is the value of the mass of each molecule and it is measured in mass units (u). It is calculated adding the mass of each atom of the molecule.
The molar mass is the value of the mass of one mole of molecules, which means the mass of 6.022140857 × 10²³ molecules. The unit is g/mol.
For example, we can consider the methane molecule, which has the chemical formula of CH₄:
Molecular mass CH₄ = C mass + 4 x (H mass)
Molecular mass CH₄ = 12.01 + 4 x (1.01)
Molecular mass CH₄ = 16.05 u
Now to calculate the molar mass we multiply the value of the molecular mass by the Avogadro number and convert the units to g/mol:
Molar mass CH₄: 16.05 x x 6.022140857 × 10²³ mol⁻¹
Molecular mass CH₄ = 16.05 g / mol
