Answer:

68.1% is percent yield of the reaction

Explanation:

The reaction of methane with oxygen is:

CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

<em>Where 2 moles of oxygen react per mole of CH₄</em>

<em />

Percent yield is:

Actual yield (28.2g CO₂) / Theoretical yield * 100

To solve this question we need to find theoretical yield finding limiting reactant :

<em>Moles CH₄:</em>

15.1g CH₄ * (1mol / 16.04g) = 0.9414 moles

<em>Moles O₂:</em>

81.2g * (1mol / 32g) = 2.54 moles

For a complete reaction of 0.9414 moles of CH₄ are needed:

0.9414 moles CH₄ * (2 mol O₂ / 1mol CH₄) = 1.88 moles of O₂. As there are 2.54 moles, O₂ is in excess and <em>CH₄ is limiting reactant</em>

In theoretical yield, the moles of methane added = Moles of CO₂ produced. That is 0.9414 moles CO₂. In grams = Theoretical yield:

0.9414 moles CO₂ * (44.01g / mol) = 41.43g CO₂

Percent yield: 28.2g CO₂ / 41.43g CO₂ * 100=

<h3>68.1% is percent yield of the reaction</h3>

A solution is made by dissolving
barxatty [35]

Answer:

4.52 mol/kg

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of lithium fluoride = 22.1 g

Mass of water = 188 g

Molality = ?

Solution:

Molality:

It is the number of moles of solute into kilogram of solvent.

Formula:

Molality = number of moles of solute / kilogram solvent

Mathematical expression:

m = n/kg

Now we will convert the grams of LiF into moles.

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 22.1 g/ 26 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.85 mol

Now we will convert the g of water into kg.

Mass of water = 188 g× 1kg/1000 g = 0.188 kg

Now we will put  the values in formula.

m = 0.85 mol / 0.188 kg

m = 4.52 mol/kg

At a particular temperature, 12.0 moles of so3 is placed into a 3.0-l rigid container, and the so3 dissociates by the reaction 2
saul85 [17]
            2 SO₃ --> 2 SO₂ + O₂
I             12             0          0
C           -2x           +2x      +x
---------------------------------------------
E         12-2x          2x         x

Since the moles of SO₂ at equilibrium is 3 mol, 2x = 3. Then, x = 1.5 mol. So, the amounts at equilibrium is:
SO₃: 12 - 2(1.5) = 9
SO₂: 2(1.5) = 3
O₂: 1.5

The formula for K basing on the stoichiometric reaction is:
K = [SO₂]²[O₂]/[SO₃]² 
where the unit used is conc in mol/L.

K = [3 mol/3 L]²[1.5 mol/3 L]/[9 mol/3 L]²
<em>K = 0.0556</em>

A student designs an experiment to see the effects exposing a block of ice to sunlight over time. The students makes a hypothesi
jeka94

In this experiment, the experimental group is ice, the independent variable is sunlight while on the other hand, the dependent variable is block of ice.

<h3>What are dependent and independent variables?</h3>

Dependent variable is a type of variable in which a variable whose value depends on another variable while on the other hand, independent variable is a type of variable in which a variable whose value does not depends on another variable. Dependent variable is denoted by X whereas the independent variable is denoted by Y.

So we can conclude that In this experiment, the experimental group is ice, the independent variable is sunlight while on the other hand, the dependent variable is block of ice.
