The balanced equation for the above reaction is;
CH₄ + 2O₂ ---> CO₂ + 2H₂O
Stoichiometry of CH₄ to O₂ is 1:2
The number of methane moles present - 1.44 g/ 16 g/mol = 0.090 mol
Number of oxygen moles present - 9.5 g/ 32 g/mol = 0.30 mol
If methane is the limiting reagent,
0.090 moles of methane react with 0.090x 2 = 0.180 mol
only 0.180 mol of O₂ is required but 0.30 mol of O₂ has been provided therefore O₂ is in excess and CH₄ is the limiting reactant.
Number of moles of water that can be produced - 0.180 mol
Therefore mass of water produced - 0.180 x 18 g/mol = 3.24 g
Therefore mass of 3.24 g of water can be produced
If the ion is a cation, it has a positive charge because it LOST electrons. If its an anion, then it has a negative electron because it GAINED electrons.
Answer:
No. They typically are not identical.
Explanation:
Atom's electrons can be in different states
Keep in mind that atomic number is the number of protons in the atom of the element. Therefore, in the case where there are 78 protons, we can conclude that the atomic number of this element is ALSO 78.
Let me know if you need anything else.
