24g of methane were burned in an excess of air. What mass of water would be produced in the reaction assuming complete combustio
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

54g of water

Explanation:

Based on the reaction, 1 mole of methane produce 2 moles of water.

To solve this question we must find the molar mass of methane in order to find the moles of methane added. With the moles of methane and the chemical equation we can find the moles of water produced and its mass:

<em>Molar mass CH₄:</em>

1C = 12g/mol*1

4H = 1g/mol*4

12g/mol + 4g/mol = 16g/mol

<em>Moles methane: </em>

24g CH₄ * (1mol / 16g) = 1.5 moles methane

<em>Moles water:</em>

1.5moles CH₄ * (2mol H₂O / 1mol CH₄) = 3.0moles H₂O

<em>Molar mass water:</em>

2H = 1g/mol*2

1O = 16g/mol*1

2g/mol + 16g/mol = 18g/mol

<em>Mass water:</em>

3.0moles H₂O * (18g / mol) =

<h3>54g of water</h3>

PLEASE HELP IM SO CONFUSED How does potassium need to be modified either on site or in a factory to make it useful. This should
3241004551 [841]


Potassium is not found  free in nature but is found in the form of potash. Potash is the ore of potassium and this ore is mined from deep down the earth or can sometimes  be found on the surface. Potash was mostly formed as sea water receded and left deposits.

Potash is usually in the form of potassium salts such potassium chloride and  potassium sulphate.  The potash  is mined then taken to the factory where it is crushed and purified  by removing such impurities as clay.

The now purified potassium salts are subjected to a process called electrolysis where  potassium metal is obtained from its salt.
