First of all we need to convert the masses to moles so that we can see the ratios of what we have been given.

36 grams of water divided by its molecular weight (18g/mol) gives us 2 moles of water.

44 grams of carbon dioxide divided by its molecular weight (44g/mol) is 1 mole of carbon dioxide. 

16 grams of methane divided by its molecular weight (16 grams) is 1 mole of methane.

We can look at a balanced chemical equation of methane burning such as the one below to find how much oxygen we need:

CH₄ + 2O₂ ⇒ CO₂ + 2H₂O

Therefore to burn one mole of methane we need two moles of oxygen molecules to produce one mole of carbon dioxide and two moles of water molecules. Because the amounts of water, methane and carbon dioxide in this equation match the ones we were given, we can say that 2 moles of oxygen molecules were required.

To convert this to grams we need to know the molecular weight of oxygen molecules, not atoms. By looking at a table of values you can see it is 32g/mol. Therefore two have two moles of oxygen molecules we need 64 grams of oxygen, which is the answer.

The source of bitterness in dark chocolate is the compound theobromine, an alkaloid present in cocoa beans. In a sample of dark
spin [16.1K]

Answer: 193 mg of theobromine are present in the sample.

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at STP and contains avogadro's number of particles.

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given molecules}}{\text {Avogadros number}}=\frac{6.45\times 10^{20}}{6.023\times 10^{23}}=1.07\times 10^{-3}moles

1 mole of theobromine (C_7H_8N_4O_2) weigh = 180 g

1.07\times 10^{-3}moles  of theobromine (C_7H_8N_4O_2) weigh = \frac{180}{1}\times 1.07\times 10^{-3}=0.193g=193mg   (1g=1000mg)

193 mg of theobromine are present in the sample.
