The reaction formula CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O shows the oxidation of 1 mole of CH4 (Methane) will yield 1 mole of CO2 (Carbon Dioxide). Since 1 mole of CH4 will weigh 12g (for the Carbon) + 4g (1g for each Hydrogen) = 16g, then 32g of CH4 will correspond to 32g / 16g/mole = 2 moles. Therefore the oxidation of 2 moles of CH4 will yield 2 moles of CO2.
40.0 g ( 1 mole ) --------------- 6.02x10²³ molecules
? ? --------------------------- 2.90x10²² molecules
mass = 2.90x10²² * 40.0 / 6.02x10²³
mass = 1.16x10²⁴ / 6.02x10²³
mass = 1.9269 g
hope this helps!
A pure substance has a constant composition and cannot be separated into simpler substances by physical means. There are two types of pure substances: elements and compounds. Elements: are pure substances made up of only l type of atom. Atoms of the same element are identical in properties.
Solving part-1 only
#1
KMnO_4
- Transition metal is Manganese (Mn)
#2
Actually it's the oxidation number of Mn
Let's find how?




- x is the oxidation number
#3
- Purple as per the color of potassium permanganate
#4

Oxygen and Hydrogen would most likely form a covalent bond that is polar, or a polar covalent bond. Due to the electronegativity difference between the 2 elements, unequal sharing of the valence electrons will occur, electrons being in closer proximity to Oxygen and farther away from Hydrogen. Resulting in the characteristic partial positive and negative charges to appear for the respective elements.
