Determine the mass of CO2 produced by burning enough of methane to produce 1.50×102kJ of heat. CH4(g)+2O2(g)→CO2(g)+2H2O(g)ΔH∘rxn=−802.3kJ Express your answer using three significant figures.

Respuesta :

Answer: The mass of [tex]CO_2[/tex] produced will be 8.228 g.

Explanation:

We need to find the mass of carbon dioxide produced when 150 kJ of heat is released.

For the given chemical reaction:

[tex]CH_4(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+2H_2O(g);\Delta H^o_{rxn}=-802.3kJ[/tex]

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

802.3 kJ of energy is released when 1 mole of carbon dioxide is produced.

So, 150 kJ of energy will be release when = [tex]\frac{1}{802.3}\times 150=0.187mol[/tex] of carbon dioxide is produced.

To calculate the mass of carbon dioxide, we use the equation:

[tex]\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}[/tex]

Moles of carbon dioxide gas = 0.187 mol

Molar mass of carbon dioxide gas = 44 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]0.187mol=\frac{\text{Mass of carbon dioxide gas}}{44g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of carbon dioxide gas}=8.228g[/tex]

Hence, the mass of [tex]CO_2[/tex] produced will be 8.228 g.

The mass of CO₂ produced by burning enough methane to produce 1.50×10² KJ of heat is 8.23 g

How to determine the mole of CO₂

Balanced equation

CH₄ + 2O₂ —> CO₂ + 2H₂O ΔHrxn = −802.3 KJ

From the balanced equation above,

802.3 KJ of heat produced 1 mole of CO₂.

Therefore,

1.50×10² KJ of heat will produce = 1.50×10² / 802.3 = 0.187 mole of CO₂

How to determine the mass of CO₂

  • Mole of CO₂ = 0.187 mole
  • Molar mass of CO₂ = 44 g/mol
  • Mass of CO₂ =?

Mass = mole × molar mass

Mass of CO₂ = 0.187 × 44

Mass of CO₂ = 8.23 g
