The combustion of 0.374 kg of methane in the presence of excess oxygen produces 0.983 kg of carbon dioxide. What is the percent

yield?

Assuming that the combustion formula is
CH4 + 2O2 --> 2H2O + CO2<span>,

That means for every 1 molecule of methane(CH4) there will be one molecule of carbon dioxide(</span>CO2) produced. Methane molecular weight 16, carbon dioxide molecular weight is 44. Then the percent yield should be:
1 * (0.374/ 16) /(0.983/44)= 0.374*44/ 0.983 * 16= 104.6%

You sure the number is correct? Percent yield should not exceed 100%

Hydrogen is unique among the elements because __________. 1. It has only one valence electron. 2. It is the only element that ca
Talja [164]

Answer:

3,4

Explanation:

Hydrogen has no other electron hence there is no screening of the valence electron by inner electrons. It is the lightest known element with a relative molecular mass of 2. Screening effect refers to the fact that inner or core electrons prevent the outermost electron from feeling the attractive force of the nucleus.

A stock phenolphthalein solution was prepared by dissolving 0.050 g in a total volume of 100.0 ml. You place one drop (0.050 ml)
devlian [24]

Answer:

the value of molar absorptivity is 229000 M^{-1} cm^{-1}

Explanation:

given data

phenol phthalein solution = 0.050 g

total volume = 100.0 ml

dilute = 100.0 ml

diluted sample = 0.18

solution

we get here concentration that is express as

concentration = ( mass of solute × 1000 ) ÷ ( molar mass of solute × volume of solution ) .............1

put here value

concentration = \frac{0.050\times 1000}{318.32\times 100}    

concentration = 0.00157 M

and here dillution equation is express as

c1 × v1 = c2 × v2   .................2

here c1 and c2 is initial and final concentration

and v1 and v2 is initial and final volume

put here value  

0.001571 × 0.050 = c2 × 100

c2 = 7.855 × 10^{-7} M

and

now we get molar by absorbance equation that is

A = E × C ×  l   ................3

here A is absorbance and E is molar and c is absorptivity and l is path length

put here value

0.18 = E × 7.855 × 10^{-7}  × 1

E = 229000 M^{-1} cm^{-1}

What are the empirical formulas of a) ethylene glycol, a radiator antifreeze, molecular formula C2H6O2 b) peroxodisulfuric acid,
Temka [501]
<h2>The answers are CH_3O and HSO_4</h2>

Explanation:

Given -

a) The molecular formula of ethylene glycol -

    C_2H_6O_2

∴ The empirical formula of ethylene glycol will be -

    CH_3O

Given -

b) The molecular formula of per-oxo-disulfuric acid (a compound used in bleaching agents) -

    H_2S_2O_8

∴ The empirical formula of per-oxo-disulfuric acid will be -

    HSO_4

Hence, the answers are CH_3O and HSO_4.

A container holds 15.0 g of phosphorous gas at a pressure of 2.0 atm and a temperature of 20.0 Celsius. What is the density of t
erik [133]
<span>Density is a value for mass, such as kg, divided by a value for volume, such as m3. Density is a physical property of a substance that represents the mass of that substance per unit volume. We calculate as follows:

PV = nRT
PV = mRT/ Molar mass
m/V = P(molar mass)/RT
Density = P(molar mass)/RT 
Density = 2.0 ( 30.97 ) / 0.08206 ( 20 + 273.15) = 2.57 g/L <----First option</span>
