Methane gas and chlorine gas react to form hydrogen chloride gas and carbon tetrachloride gas. What volume of hydrogen chloride would be produced by this reaction if 3.16 L of chlorine were consumed at STP.

Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer: Thus volume of carbon tetrachloride that would be produced is 0.788 L

Explanation:

According to ideal gas equation:

$PV=nRT$

P = pressure of gas = 1 atm (at STP)

V = Volume of gas = 3.16 L

n = number of moles = ?

R = gas constant = $0.0821Latm/Kmol$

T =temperature = $273K=$

$n=\frac{PV}{RT}$

$n=\frac{1atm\times 3.16L}{0.0820 L atm/K mol\times 273K}=0.141moles$

$CH_4+4Cl_2\rightarrow 4HCl+CCl_4$

According to stoichiometry:

4 moles of chlorine produces = 1 mole of carbon tetrachloride

Thus 0.141 moles of methane produces = $\frac{1}{4}\times 0.141=0.0352$ moles of carbon tetrachloride

volume of carbon tetrachloride = $moles\times {\text {Molar volume}}=0.0352mol\times 22.4L/mol=0.788L$

Thus volume of carbon tetrachloride that would be produced is 0.788 L

Dolphins communicate using compression waves (longitudinal waves). Some of the sounds dolphins make are outside the range of hu

Gre4nikov [31]

I believe the answer is A. make a softer sound because the shark will not hear the softer signal.

I say this becasue "Some of the sounds dolphins make are outside the range of human hearing." So that means the the dolphins speak at a higher wavelength then us humans and we can't hear it so they could use that to their advantage and speak at a height wavelength to each other when sharks are near.

I could be wrong, but I think the answer is A.
