Answer:

16.5 g of CO₂ are produced by 18.5 of methane and 24 g of O₂

Explanation:

This is a reaction of combustion:

CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

1 mol of methane react to 2 moles of oxygen in order to produce 1 mol of carbon dioxide and 2 moles of water.

First of all, we determine the moles of each reactant:

18.5 g . 1mol/ 16g = 1.15 moles of methane

24 g . 1mol / 32g = 0.75 moles of oxygen

Now, we determine the limiting reactant:

1 mol of methane reacts to 2 moles of oyxgen

1.15 moles of methane may react to (1.15 . 2) /1 = 2.3 moles.

We only have 0.75 moles of O₂ and we need 2.3, that's why the oxygen is the limiting reagent, because we do not have enough oxygen for the reaction.

2 moles of O₂ produce 1 mol of CO₂

Then 0.75 moles may produce (0.75 . 1) /2 = 0.375 moles of CO₂

We convert the moles to mass → 0.375 mol . 44g /mol = 16.5 g

Why can't 1−methylcyclohexanol be prepared from a carbonyl compound by reduction? select the single best answer?

forsale [732]

1−methylcyclohexanol is a tertiary alcohol. Tertiary Alcohols are synthesized by either reacting Ketone with Organometallic compounds like Grignard reagent or by hydration of substituted alkenes. <span>1−methylcyclohexanol can not be synthesized by reduction of carbonyl compound because it is not possible to have a starting carbonyl compound having carbonyl group along with three other alkyl groups (as carbon can only form 4 bonds).

Result:
Tertiary alcohols don't contain a hydrogen atom at carbon attached to hydroxyl group that is why it is not possible to synthesize </span><span>1−methylcyclohexanol by reduction of carbonyl compound.</span>

What is the scientific theory

Mrac [35]

Hello!

DescriptionA scientific theory is an explanation of an aspect of the natural world that can be repeatedly tested and verified in accordance with the scientific method, using accepted protocols of observation, measurement, and evaluation of results. Where possible, theories are tested under controlled conditions in an experiment.

Given the reaction

pychu [463]

Answer:

240.17 g Ba3(PO4)2

Explanation:

1. Determine the limiting reactant.

2H3PO4 + 3Ba(OH)2 --> Ba3(PO4)2 + 6H2O

moles H3PO4 = M x V = 3 x 0.286 = .858 moles H3PO4

moles Ba(OH)2 = M x V = 1.4 x 0.855 = 1.197 moles Ba(OH)2

ratio Ba(OH)2 : H3PO4 = 1.197: .858 = 1.39: 1

stoichiometric ratio Ba(OH)2 : H3PO4 = 3:2

Ba(OH)2is the limiting reactant

MM Ba3(PO4)2 = 601.92 g/mol

g Ba3(PO4)2 = moles Ba(OH)2 x(1 mol Ba3(PO4)2/3 moles Ba(OH)2) x (MM Ba3(PO4)2/ 1mol Ba3(PO4)2) = 1.197 x 1/3 x 601.92 = 240.17 g Ba3(PO4)2

Which of the following subatomic particles has the LEAST mass?

ivanzaharov [21]

An electron this is the smallest particle and it takes up the least mass because its negative charge makes it harder for electrons to have a place in an atom.

Pb + Mg(NO₃)₂ → Pb(NO₃)₂ + Mg
This reaction would NOT occur because Pb is less reactive than Mg and as such Pb cannot displace the Mg in order for the reaction to occur under normal conditions.

Mg + Fe(NO₃)₂ → Fe + Mg(NO₃)₂
This reaction would occur. This is because Mg is more reactive than Fe and as such can displace it in the reaction, thus allowing the reaction to occur under normal conditions.

Cu + Mg(NO₃)₂ → Cu(NO₃)₂ + Mg
This reaction would NOT occur. Mg is more reactive than Cu, and as such copper cannot displace magnesium in order for the reaction to occur under normal conditions.
