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.

Your calculated density of aluminum is d = 2.69 g/cm3. Aluminum’s accepted density is 2.70 g/cm3. Without writing the "%" sign,
stepan [7]

Answer:

0.37 %

Explanation:

Given that:

Calculated density of aluminum = 2.69 g/cm³

Accepted density of aluminum = 2.70 g/cm³

Error\ percentage=\frac {|Accepted\ value-Calculated\ value|}{Accepted\ value}\times 100

Thus, applying values as:

Error\ percentage=\frac {|2.70-2.69|}{2.70}\times 100

<u>Percent error = 0.37 %</u>

Problem PageQuestion A chemist makes of magnesium fluoride working solution by adding distilled water to of a stock solution of
igomit [66]

Answer:

5.37 × 10⁻⁴ mol/L

Explanation:

<em>A chemist makes 660. mL of magnesium fluoride working solution by adding distilled water to 230. mL of a 0.00154 mol/L stock solution of magnesium fluoride in water. Calculate the concentration of the chemist's working solution. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.</em>

Step 1: Given data

  • Initial concentration (C₁): 0.00154 mol/L
  • Initial volume (V₁): 230. mL
  • Final concentration (C₂): ?
  • Final volume (V₂): 660. mL

Step 2: Calculate the concentration of the final solution

We want to prepare a dilute solution from a concentrated one. We can calculate the concentration of the final solution using the dilution rule.

C₁ × V₁ = C₂ × V₂

C₂ = C₁ × V₁ / V₂

C₂ = 0.00154 mol/L × 230. mL / 660. mL = 5.37 × 10⁻⁴ mol/L
