The chemical equation is:
CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O
First, we calculate the moles of methane present using:
Moles = mass / molecular mass
Moles = 20 / 16
Moles = 1.25
Next, we may observe from the chemical equation that the molar ratio between methane and oxygen is 1 : 2
So the moles of oxygen required are 2 x 1.25
2.5 moles of oxygen required
Mass = moles * molecular mass
Mass = 2.5 * 32
Moles = 80
C. 80 grams O₂
Quantitative measurements are numerical values, they involve amounts and units like measuring things. Qualitative observations appeal to the five senses, like what does the interaction look and sound like
The answer is A. the solar ultraviolet ray breaks the molecule apart
The chemist the count the number of particles (Atoms, Molecules or Formula Unit) in a given number of moles of a substance by using following relationship.
Moles = # of Particles / 6.022 × 10²³
Or,
# of Particles = Moles × 6.022 × 10²³
So, from above relation it is found that 1 mole of any substance contains exactly 6.022 × 10²³ particles. Greater the number of moles greater will be the number of particles.
