From the following balanced equation, CH4(g)+2O2(g)⟶CO2(g)+2H2O(g) how many grams of H2O can be formed when 1.25g CH4 are combined with 1.25×10^23 molecules O2? Use 6.022×10^23 mol−1 for Avogadro's number.

2.81 g of H2O.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating mass of O2 that contains 1.25×10²³ molecules O2.

This can be obtained as follow:

From Avogadro's hypothesis, we understood that 1 mole of any substance contains 6.022×10²³ molecules. This implies that 1 mole of O2 also contains 6.022×10²³ molecules.

1 mole of O2 = 16x2 = 32 g.

Thus 6.022×10²³ molecules is present in 32 g of O2,

Therefore, 1.25×10²³ molecules will be present in =

(1.25×10²³ × 32) / 6.022×10²³ = 6.64 g of O2.

Therefore, 1.25×10²³ molecules present in 6.64 g of O2.

Next, the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

CH4(g) + 2O2(g) —> CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)

Next, we shall determine the masses of CH4 and O2 that reacted and the mass of H2O produced from the balanced equation.

This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of CH4 = 12 + (4x1) = 16 g/mol.

Mass of CH4 from the balanced equation = 1 x 16 = 16 g

Molar mass of O2 = 16x2 = 32 g/mol.

Mass of O2 from the balanced equation = 2 x 32 = 64 g

Molar mass of H2O = (2x1) + 16 = 18 g/mol.

Mass of H2O from the balanced equation = 2 x 18 = 36 g

From the balanced equation above,

16 g of CH4 reacted with 64 g of O2 to produce 36 g if H2O.

Next, we shall determine the limiting reactant.

This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

16 g of CH4 reacted with 64 g of O2.

Therefore, 1.25 g of CH4 will react with = (1.25 x 64)/16 = 5 g of O2.

From the above calculations, we can see that only 5 g out of 6.64 g of O2 is needed to react completely with 1.25 g of CH4.

Therefore, CH4 is the limiting reactant.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of H2O produced from the reaction.

In this case, the limiting reactant will be used because it will give the maximum yield of H2O.

The limiting reactant is CH4 and the mass of H2O produced from the reaction can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

16 g of CH4 reacted to produce produce 36 g if H2O.

Therefore, 1.25 g of CH4 will react to produce = (1.25 x 36)/16 = 2.81 g of H2O.

Therefore, 2.81 g of H2O were obtained from the reaction.
