Answer:
1.45 x 10⁻² g CO₂
Explanation:
To find the mass of carbon dioxide, you need to (1) convert grams CH₄ to moles CH₄ (via molar mass), then (2) convert moles CH₄ to moles CO₂ (via mole-to-mole ratio from reaction coefficients), and then (3) convert moles CO₂ to grams CO₂ (via molar mass). The final answer should have 3 sig figs to reflect the given value (5.30 x 10⁻³ g).
Molar Mass (CH₄): 12.011 g/mol + 4(1.008 g/mol)
Molar Mass (CH₄): 16.043 g/mol
Combustion of Methane:
1 CH₄ + 2 O₂ ---> 2 H₂O + 1 CO₂
Molar Mass (CO₂): 12.011 g/mol + 2(15.998 g/mol)
Molar Mass (CO₂): 44.007 g/mol
5.30 x 10⁻³ g CH₄ 1 mole 1 mole CO₂ 44.007 g

Answer:</h3>
= 5.79 × 10^19 molecules
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
The molar mass of the compound is 312 g/mol
Mass of the compound is 30.0 mg equivalent to 0.030 g (1 g = 1000 mg)
We are required to calculate the number of molecules present
We will use the following steps;
<h3>Step 1: Calculate the number of moles of the compound </h3>
Therefore;
Moles of the compound will be;
= 9.615 × 10⁻5 mole
<h3>Step 2: Calculate the number of molecules present </h3>
Using the Avogadro's constant, 6.022 × 10^23
1 mole of a compound contains 6.022 × 10^23 molecules
Therefore;
9.615 × 10⁻5 moles of the compound will have ;
= 9.615 × 10⁻5 moles × 6.022 × 10^23 molecules
= 5.79 × 10^19 molecules
Therefore the compound contains 5.79 × 10^19 molecules
