Gaseous methane CH4 will react with gaseous oxygen O2 to produce gaseous carbon dioxide CO2 and gaseous water H2O. Suppose 0.963 g of methane is mixed with 1.2 g of oxygen. Calculate the maximum mass of water that could be produced by the chemical reaction. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.
Answer:
[tex]m_{H_2O}=0.676gH_2O[/tex]
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to calculate the maximum mass of water by firstly setting up the undergoing chemical reaction as follows:
[tex]CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O[/tex]
Thus, we are able to firstly calculate the moles of water produced by both methane and oxygen in order to identify the limiting reactant, which is related to maximum of water:
[tex]0.963 gCH_4*\frac{1molCH_4}{16gCH_4}*\frac{2molH_2O}{1molCH_4} =0.120molH_2O\\\\1.2gO_2*\frac{1molO_2}{32gO_2}*\frac{2molH_2O}{2molO_2} =0.0375molH_2O[/tex]
Thus, we infer the limiting reactant is O2 and therefore we can obtain up to 0.0375 moles of water, which are related to the following mass:
[tex]m_{H_2O}=0.0375molH_2O\frac{18.02gH_2O}{1molH_2O}=0.676gH_2O[/tex]

Molecule contains carbon, hydrogen and sulfur atoms. When a sample of 0.535g of this compound is burnt in oxygen, 1.119 g of CO2and 0.229 gof H2O and 0.407g of SO2are obtained.
Calculate its empirical formula.
Answer:
The empirical formula is, C4H4S
Explanation:
Number of moles of carbon = 1.119 g/ 44g/mol = 0.025 moles
Mass of Carbon= 0.025 moles × 12 g/ mole = 0.3 g
Number of moles of hydrogen = 0.229/18g/mol × 2 = 0.025 moles
Mass of hydrogen = 0.025 moles × 1 = 0.025 g
Number of moles of sulphur = 0.407g/ 64 g/mol = 0.0064 moles
Mass of sulphur= 0.0064 moles ×32 = 0.2 g
Now we obtain the mole ratios by dividing through by the lowest ratio.
C- 0.025 moles/ 0.0064 moles, H- 0.025 moles/ 0.0064 moles, S- 0.0064 moles/0.0064 moles

A sample of flammable liquid is placed into an enclosed cylinder which is then fitted with a movable piston. Initially the cylinder contains a volume of 8.20 L. The sample is ignited producing gas and releasing 427.8 J of energy. To what volume will the cylinder expand to if it must expand against a pressure of 826.1 mmHg. Assume all the energy released is converted to work used to push the piston?
760 mmHg = 1 atm
101.3 J = 1 L atm
Answer:
12.09 L
Explanation:
Step 1: Convert 826.1 mmHg to atm
We will use the conversion factor 760 mmHg = 1 atm.
826.1 mmHg × 1 atm/760 mmHg = 1.087 atm
Step 2: Convert 427.8 J to L.atm
We will use the conversion factor 101.3 J = 1 L.atm.
427.8 J × 1 L.atm/101.3 J = 4.223 L.atm
Step 3: Calculate the change in the volume
Assuming the work done (w) is 4.223 L.atm against a pressure (P) of 1.087 atm, the change in the volume is:
w = P × ΔV
ΔV = w/P
ΔV = 4.223 L.atm/1.087 atm = 3.885 L
Step 4: Calculate the final volume
V₂ = V₁ + ΔV
V₂ = 8.20 L + 3.885 L = 12.09 L

Calculate the molality of a 35.4 % (by mass) aqueous solution of phosphoric acid (H3PO4) (35.4 % means 35.4 g of H3PO4in 100 g of solution)
Answer:
3.6124 m/kg
Explanation:
Molality is calculated as moles of solute (mol) divided by kilogram of solvent (kg). Here, we can find these numbers by using the 35.4%, which gives us 35.4 g of H3PO4 and 100 g of solution to work with.
To go from grams to moles for the phosphoric acid, you need to find the molar mass of the compound or element and divide the grams of the compound or element by that molar mass.
Here, the molar mass for phosphoric acid is 97.9952 g/mol. The equation would look like this:
35.4 g x 1 mol / 97.9952 g = 0.3612422 mol
Next, the 100 g of solvent can easily be converted to 0.1 kg of solvent.
To find the molality, divide the moles of solute and kilograms of solution.
0.3612422 mol / 0.1 kg = 3.6124 m/kg

Perform the calculations and determine the absolute and percent relative uncertainty. Express each answer with the correct number of significant figures.
a. [9.8(±0.3)−2.31(±0.01)]8.5(±0.6)= __________
b. absolute uncertainty: __________
c. absolute uncertainty: _________
d. percent relative uncertainty: ___________
Answer:
Explanation:
Given the equation:
[tex]\implies \dfrac{[9.8(\pm0.3)-2.31(\pm 0.01)]}{8.5(\pm0.6)}[/tex]
The absolute uncertainty in a measurement is the term used to describe the degree of inaccuracy.
The first step is to determine the algebraic value on the numerator.
Algebraic value = 9.8 - 231
= 7.49
The absolute uncertainty = [tex]\sqrt{(abs. uncertainty_{v_1})^2+(abs. uncertainty_{v_2})^2}[/tex]
absolute uncertainty = [tex]\sqrt{(0.3)^3 + (0.01)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{0.09 + 0.0001}[/tex]
= 0.300167
∴
[9.8(±0.3) - 2.31(±0.01)] = 7.49(±0.300167)
The division process now is:
[tex]\implies \dfrac{[9.8(\pm0.3)-2.31(\pm 0.01)]}{8.5(\pm0.6)}= \dfrac{7.49 (\pm 0.300167)}{8.5 (\pm0.6)}[/tex]
Relative uncertainty = [tex]\dfrac{(\pm 0.300167)}{7.49}\times 100 \ , \ \dfrac{(\pm 0.6) }{8.5} \times 100[/tex]
Relative uncertainty = ±4.007565% , ±7.058824%
[tex]\text{Relative uncertainty} = \sqrt{(4.007565)^2+(7.058824)^2}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Relative uncertainty} = \sqrt{16.06057723+49.82699626}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Relative uncertainty} = \sqrt{65.88757349}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Relative uncertainty} = 8.117116[/tex]
≅ 8%
The algebraic value = [tex]\dfrac{7.49}{8.5}[/tex]
= 0.881176
≅ 0.88
The percentage of the relative uncertainty =[tex]\dfrac{\text{Absolute uncertainty }}{\text{calculated value} }\times 100[/tex]
By cross multiplying:
[tex]\text{Absolute uncertainty} (\%) = \dfrac{\text{relative uncertainty} \times \text{calculated value}}{100}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Absolute uncertainty} (\%) = \dfrac{8.117116\times 0.881176}{100}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Absolute uncertainty} (\%) = 0.0715260[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{\text{Absolute uncertainty} (\%) \simeq 0.07}[/tex]
Finally:
[tex]\mathbf{\implies \dfrac{[9.8(\pm0.3)-2.31(\pm 0.01)]}{8.5(\pm0.6)}= 0.88 \pm (0.07) \pm 8\%}[/tex]

Identify the alkene obtained on dehydration of each of the following alcohols:
a. 3-Ethyl-3-pentanol
b. 1-Propanol
c. 2-Propanol
d. 2,3,3-Trimethyl-2-butanol
Answer:
Explanation:
The information below explains how dehydration of alcohol occurs to produce alkene.
Under the influence of a catalyst, alcohol dehydrates to produce an alkene and water. To produce alkene and water, the reaction eliminates the OH group from alcohol containing the carbon atom and the hydrogen atom from a neighboring carbon atom via the same molecule.
The –OH group in alcohol contribute two(2) electrons to H+ out from the acid reagent, resulting in the formation of an alkyloxonium ion. This ion serves as an excellent leaving group, allowing a carbocation to form. The nucleophile which acts as the deprotonated acid subsequently attacks and creates a double bond with the hydrogen next to the carbocation.
A diver exhales a bubble with volume of 250 mL at pressure of 2.4 atm and temperature of 15 C. How many gas particulate in this bubble?
Answer:
1.5x10²² particulates
Explanation:
Assuming ideal behaviour, we can solve this problem by using the PV=nRT formula, where:
P = 2.4 atmV = 250 mL ⇒ 250 / 1000 = 0.250 Ln = ?R = 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹T = 15 °C ⇒ 15 + 273 = 288 KWe input the given data:
2.4 atm * 0.250 L = n * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 288 KAnd solve for n:
n = 0.025 molFinally we calculate how many particulates are there in 0.025 moles, using Avogadro's number:
0.025 mol * 6.023x10²³ particulates/mol = 1.5x10²² particulatesAir bags are activated when a severe impact causes a steel ball to compress a spring and electrically ignite a detonator cap. This causes sodium azide (NaN3) to decompose explosively according to the following reaction. 2 NaN3(s) --> 2 Na(s) 3 N2(g) What mass in grams of NaN3(s) must be reacted in order to inflate an air bag to 79.5 L at STP
Answer:
154 g
Explanation:
Step 1: Write the balanced decomposition equation
2 NaN₃(s) ⇒ 2 Na(s) + 3 N₂(g)
Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 79.5 L of N₂ at STP
At STP, 1 mole of N₂ occupies 22.4 L.
79.5 L × 1 mol/22.4 L = 3.55 mol
Step 3: Calculate the number of moles of NaN₃ needed to form 3.55 moles of N₂
The molar ratio of NaN₃ to N₂ is 2:3. The moles of NaN₃ needed are 2/3 × 3.55 mol = 2.37 mol.
Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 2.37 moles of NaN₃
The molar mass of NaN₃ is 65.01 g/mol.
2.37 mol × 65.01 g/mol = 154 g

1. Determine the volume of SO2 (at STP) formed from the reaction of 96.7 mol FeS2 and 55.0 L of O2 at 358 K and 1.20 atm.
4 FeS2(s) + 11O2(g) 2Fe2O3(s) + 8SO2(g)
Answer:
40.0L of SO2 are produced
Explanation:
To solve this question we need to find the moles of O2 using PV = nRT in order to find the moles. Thus, we can find the limiting reactant and the moles (And volume) of SO2 produced as follows:
Moles O2:
n = PV/RT
n = 1.20atm*55.0L / 0.082atmL/molK*358K
n = 2.25 moles of O2.
Clearly, limiting reactant is O2.
The moles of SO2 produced are:
2.25 moles of O2 * (8mol SO2 / 11mol O2) = 1.6351 moles SO2
Volume SO2:
V = nRT/P
V = 1.6351 moles SO2*0.082atmL/molK*358K / 1.20atm
V = 40.0L of SO2 are produced

what is polarization??
Answer:
I Hope this is clear
Explanation:
Polarization, property of certain electromagnetic radiations in which the direction and magnitude of the vibrating electric field are related in a specified way. polarizing filter.
Answer:
Polarization is a property applying to transverse waves that specifies the geometrical orientation of the oscillations. In a transverse wave, the direction of the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave.
Explanation:
Polarization (also polarisation) is a property applying to transverse waves that specifies the geometrical orientation of the oscillations. In a transverse wave, the direction of the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave. A simple example of a polarized transverse wave is vibrations traveling along a taut string (see image); for example, in a musical instrument like a guitar string. Depending on how the string is plucked, the vibrations can be in a vertical direction, horizontal direction, or at any angle perpendicular to the string. In contrast, in longitudinal waves, such as sound waves in a liquid or gas, the displacement of the particles in the oscillation is always in the direction of propagation, so these waves do not exhibit polarization. Transverse waves that exhibit polarization include electromagnetic waves such as light and radio waves, gravitational waves,[6] and transverse sound waves (shear waves) in solids.
An electromagnetic wave such as light consists of a coupled oscillating electric field and magnetic field which are always perpendicular to each other; by convention, the "polarization" of electromagnetic waves refers to the direction of the electric field. In linear polarization, the fields oscillate in a single direction. In circular or elliptical polarization, the fields rotate at a constant rate in a plane as the wave travels. The rotation can have two possible directions; if the fields rotate in a right hand sense with respect to the direction of wave travel, it is called right circular polarization, while if the fields rotate in a left hand sense, it is called left circular polarization.
Light or other electromagnetic radiation from many sources, such as the sun, flames, and incandescent lamps, consists of short wave trains with an equal mixture of polarizations; this is called unpolarized light. Polarized light can be produced by passing unpolarized light through a polarizer, which allows waves of only one polarization to pass through. The most common optical materials do not affect the polarization of light, however, some materials—those that exhibit birefringence, dichroism, or optical activity—affect light differently depending on its polarization. Some of these are used to make polarizing filters. Light is also partially polarized when it reflects from a surface.
According to quantum mechanics, electromagnetic waves can also be viewed as streams of particles called photons. When viewed in this way, the polarization of an electromagnetic wave is determined by a quantum mechanical property of photons called their spin. A photon has one of two possible spins: it can either spin in a right hand sense or a left hand sense about its direction of travel. Circularly polarized electromagnetic waves are composed of photons with only one type of spin, either right- or left-hand. Linearly polarized waves consist of photons that are in a superposition of right and left circularly polarized states, with equal amplitude and phases synchronized to give oscillation in a plane.
Polarization is an important parameter in areas of science dealing with transverse waves, such as optics, seismology, radio, and microwaves. Especially impacted are technologies such as lasers, wireless and optical fiber telecommunications, and radar.
la. A man was traveling by sie is allowed a maximum of 20kg luggage. The man
weighing 3.5kg, 15kg.2kg and 15kg
Find the excess weight of his luggage.
Express the excess weight as a percentage of the maximum weight allowed
Answer: The excess weight of the luggage is 15.5 kg and its percentage is 77.5%
Explanation:
Given values:
Maximum amount of luggage allowed = 20 kg
Amount of luggage man is carrying = [3.5 + 15 + 2 + 15] kg = 35.5 kg
Excessive weight of the luggage carried = Amount of luggage carrying - Maximum amount of luggage allowed
Excessive weight of the luggage carried = [35.5 - 20] = 15.5 kg
To calculate the percentage of excess weight, we use the equation:
[tex]\% \text{excess weight}=\frac{\text{Excess weight carried}}{\text{Maximum allowed}}\times 100[/tex]
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]\% \text{excess weight}=\frac{15.5kg}{20kg}\times 100\\\\\% \text{excess weight}=77.5%[/tex]
Hence, the excess weight of the luggage is 15.5 kg and its percentage is 77.5%
