Answer:

See below, please

Explanation:

1 mol CH4 ——＞2 mol H2O=2x18 g/mol= 36 g

The question is not clear. You should tell us the concentration of CH4, methane.

Reaction

CH₄ (g) + 2O₂ (g) <=> CO₂ (g) + 2H₂O(g)

assume at STP ( 1 mole gas = 22.4 L)

for 20 L, moles of methane:

= 20 : 22.4 = 0.893

moles of water = 2/1 x mol methane = 2/1 x 0.893 = 1.786

mass of water = mol x molar mass = 1.786 x 18 g/mol = 32.148 g

Answer: The molecular formula for the given organic compound is $C_2H_{32}O_4$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=0.784g$

Mass of $H_2O=1.92g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44 g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 0.784 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 0.784=0.214g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18 g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 1.92 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 1.92=0.213g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (0.844) - (0.214 + 0.213) = 0.417 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{0.214g}{12g/mole}=0.0134moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.213g}{1g/mole}=0.213moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{0.417g}{16g/mole}=0.0261moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.0134 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.0134}{0.0134}=1$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{0.213}{0.0134}=15.89\approx 16$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.0261}{0.0134}=1.95\approx 2$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 1 : 16 : 2

The empirical formula for the given compound is $CH_{16}O_2$

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is:

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular mass}}{\text{Empirical mass}}$

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 116.2 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 60 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{116.2g/mol}{60g/mol}=1.94\approx 2$

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

$C_{(1\times 2)}H_{(16\times 2)}O_{(2\times 2)}=C_2H_{32}O_4$

Hence, the molecular formula for the given organic compound is $C_2H_{32}O_4$

If an object has a net force acting on it, it will accelerate. The object will speed up, slow down or change direction. An unbalanced force (net force) acting on anobject changes its speed and/or direction of motion. An unbalanced force is an unopposed force that causes a change in motion.
