if you started with 2.34 grams of methane and 8.32 grams of oxeygyn and the combustion reaction went to completion how many grams of CO2 would be produced

Mass of CO₂ produced  = 5.72 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of methane = 2.34 g

Mass of oxygen = 8.32 g

Mass of CO₂ produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

CH₄ + 2O₂    →      CO₂ + 2H₂O

Number of moles of methane:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles =  2.34 g/ 16 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.146 mol

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles =  8.32 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.26 mol

Now we will compare the moles of carbon dioxide with oxygen and methane.

                         CH₄             :              CO₂

                           1                 :              1

                        0.146            :           0.146

                         O₂                :               CO₂

                          2                 :                   1

                     0.26                :              1/2×0.26 = 0.13 mol

Less number of moles of CO₂ are produced by oxygen thus oxygen will react as limiting reactant.

Mass of CO₂:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.13 mol ×  44 g/mol

Mass = 5.72 g

a  solution  is always transparent, light passes through with no scattering from solute particles which are molecule in size. the  solution  is homogeneous and does not settle out. a colloid is intermediate between asolution  and a  suspension. while asuspension  will separate out a colloid will not.

hurricanes form when warm, moist air from the ocean surface quickly rises into the atmosphere and forms storm clouds and rain. when the clouds are formed, heat is released which warms the cool air in the upper regions of the atmosphere so that the cycle can continue. which two phases of the water cycle are repeated in this process?
