Gaseous methane reacts with gaseous oxygen gas to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water . What is the theoretical yield of carbon dioxide formed from the reaction of 0.64g of methane and 1.1 of oxygen gas?

The theoretical yield of Carbon dioxide : 0.544 g

Given

0.64 g Methane

1.1 g Oxygen gas

Required

The theoretical yield of Carbon dioxide

Solution

Reaction

CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O.

Find limiting reactant(mol : coefficient)

= mass : MW

= 0.64 : 16

= 0.04

mol : coefficient = 0.04 : 1 = 0.04

= mass : MW

= 1.1 : 32

= 0.034

mol : coefficient = 0.034 : 2 = 0.017

O₂ as a limiting reactant(smaller)

Mol CO₂ based on mol O₂

From equation, mol ratio CO₂ : O₂ = 1 : 2 , so mol CO₂ :

= 1/2 x mol O₂

= 1/2 x 0.034

= 0.017

Mass O₂ :

= 0.017 x 32 g/mol

= 0.544 g

answer : a model is often used to explain and make things easier to understand when any scientific topic needs to be demonstrated and explained.

as in this case where a scientist wants to use a model to present the results of his detailed scientific investigation. he should do it as it will him to make the audience understand the concept in a much better way. also, it can be changed according to new scientific understandings.

no, the red giant is the hottest with 2.00.000.000 degrees celsius. while the white dwarf only 25,000 degrees celsius.
