Surface tension, property of a liquid surface displayed by its acting as if it were a stretched elastic membrane. This phenomenon can be observed in the nearly spherical shape of small drops of liquids and of soap bubbles. Because of this property, certain insects can stand on the surface of water.

Answer:

Surface tension is the tendency of liquid surfaces at rest to shrink into the minimum surface area possible. Surface tension is what allows objects with a higher density than water such as razor blades and insects (e.g. water striders) to float on a water surface without becoming even partly submerged.

Gaseous ethane will react with gaseous oxygen to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water . Supposed 0.301 g of methane

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

The maximum mass of CO2 that could be produced is 0.1925 grams

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of methane = 0.301 grams

Mass of oxygen = 0.28 grams

Molar mass of ethane = 16.04 g/mol

Molar mass of oxygen = 32 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O

For 1 mole methane consumed, we need 2 moles of O2 to produce 1 mole of CO2 and 2 moles of H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles of methane

Number of moles =Mass / Molar mass

Number of moles CH4 = 0.301 grams /16.04 g/mol

Moles CH4 = 0.0188 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles oxygen

Number of moles oxygen = 0.28 grams / 32 g/mol

Moles oxygen = 0.00875 moles

Step 5: the limiting reactant

For 1 mole methane consumed, we need 2 moles of O2

Oxygen is the limiting reactant. It will be completely consumed.

Methane is in excess. There will be consumed 0.00875 /2 = 0.004375 moles

There will remain 0.0188 - 0.004375 = 0.014425 moles

Step 6: Calculate moles of CO2

For 1 mole methane consumed, we need 2 moles of O2 to produce 1 mole of CO2

For 0.00875 moles oxygen , we have 0.004375 moles CO2

Step 7: Calculate mass of CO2

Mass CO2 = moles CO2 * Molar mass CO2

Mass CO2 =0.004375 * 44.01 g/mol = 0.1925 grams CO2

The maximum mass of CO2 that could be produced is 0.1925 grams

When copper metal is added to nitric acid, the following reaction takes place

zlopas [31]

Answer:

The volume of NO₂ gas collected over water at 25.0 °C is 1.68 Liters.

Explanation:

$Cu (s) + 4 HNO_3 (aq) \rightarrow Cu(NO_3)_2 (aq) + 2 H_2O (l) + 2 NO_2 (g)$

Moles of copper = $\frac{2.01 g}{63.55 g/mol}=0.03163 mol$

According to reaction, 1 mol of copper gives 2 moles of nitrogen dioxide gas.

Then 0.03613 moles of copper will give:

$\frac{2}{1}\times 0.03163 mol=0.06326 mol$ of nitrogen dioxide gas

Moles of nitrogen dioxide gas = n = 0.06326 mol

Pressure of the gas = P

P = Total pressure - vapor pressure of water

P = 726 mmHg - 23.8 mmHg = 702.2 mmHg

P = 0.924 atm (1 atm = 760 mmHg)

Temperature of the gas = T = 25.0°C =298.15 K

Volume of the gas = V

$PV=nRT$

$V=\frac{0.06326 mol\times 0.0821 atm L/mol K\times 298.15 K}{0.924 atm}$

V = 1.68 L

The volume of NO₂ gas collected over water at 25.0 °C is 1.68 Liters.
