What is the maximum mass of methane (CH4) that can be burned if only 1.0 g of oxygen is available and how do you figure it out?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Make the reaction: CH_4+2O_2=CO_2+2H_2O
For 2*32=64 grams of oxygen, you can burn 2*16=32 grams of methane (that is, half).
So, our answer is .5g.
Other intermediate calculations are mollecular masses:
\mu_(CH_4)=A_C+4A_H=12+4=16 \n mu_(O_2)=2A_O=2*16=32
Answer 2
Answer:

Answer:

0.28 g of CH_4

Explanation:

You need a balanced equation first. CH_4 + 2O_2CO_2 + 2H_2O

You need to find the number of moles of oxygen, which is mass divided by the Mr: 1 ÷ 32 = 1/32

Then you find the moles of methane using the mole ration oxygen to methane 2:1.  1/32 ÷ 2 = 1/64

Then you find the mass by multiplying the Mr with the number of moles:

1/64 × 18 = 0.28125 g  = 0.28 g

How many moles of nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) can be produced from 9.65 mole of Fluorine gas (F2)N2 + 3F2 -----------> 2NF3

Answers

Answer:

6.43 moles of NF₃.

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

N₂ + 3F₂ —> 2NF₃

From the balanced equation above,

3 moles of F₂ reacted to produce 2 moles of NF₃.

Finally, we shall determine the number of mole of nitrogen trifluoride (NF₃) produced by the reaction of 9.65 moles of Fluorine gas (F₂). This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

3 moles of F₂ reacted to produce 2 moles of NF₃.

Therefore, 9.65 moles of F₂ will react to to produce = (9.65 × 2)/3 = 6.43 moles of NF₃.

Thus, 6.43 moles of NF₃ were obtained from the reaction.

Before free oxygen gas became abundant in the oceans and atmosphere, it reacted with a metal and produced what type of formations?a. the ionosphere
b. the ozone layer
c. banded iron formations
d. stromatolites

Answers

Before free oxygen gas became abundant in the oceans and atmosphere, it reacted with a metal and produced banded iron formations. 

Answer;

Banded iron formations

Before free oxygen gas became abundant in the oceans and atmosphere, it reacted with a metal and produced banded iron formations.

Explanation;

  • Cyanobacteria are thought to have introduced oxygen into the early atmosphere. This was important because oxygen played a key role in the evolution of eukaryotic organisms creating an ozone layer to shield life from UV rays.
  • Banded iron layers were formed in sea water as the result of oxygen released by the photosynthetic cyanobacteria.  As the photosynthetic organisms released oxygen, the available iron in the Earth's oceans precipitated out as iron oxides.
