The atmosphere slowly oxidizes hydrocarbons in a number of steps that eventually convert the hydrocarbon into carbon dioxide and water. the overall reactions of a number of such steps for methane gas is as follows: ch4(g)+5o2(g)+5no(g) > co2(g)+h2o(g)+5no2(g) +2oh(g)part a)suppose that an atmospheric chemist combines 150 ml of methane at stp, 885 ml of oxygen at stp, and 59.5 ml of no at stp in a 2.2-l flask. the reaction is allowed to stand for several weeks at 275k. part b)if the reaction reaches 88.0 % of completion (88.0% of the limiting reactant is consumed), what are the partial pressures of each of the reactants in the flask at 275k? if the reaction reaches 88.0 % of completion (88.0% of the limiting reactant is consumed), what are the partial pressures of each of the products in the flask at 275k? part c)what is the total pressure in the flask?

CH₄(g)+5O₂(g)+5NO(g) > CO₂(g)+H₂O(g)+5NO₂(g)+2OH(g)

(A)

First let's identify the limiting reactant, we're given the volume of each gas at STP, so we can use PV=nRT to calculate the moles of each gas:

CH₄⇒ n = 1atm*0.150L/(0.082atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹*273K) = 6.70x10⁻³ mol CH₄O₂⇒ n = 1atm*0.885L/(0.082atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹*273K) = 0.0395 mol O₂NO⇒ n = 1atm*0.0595L/(0.082atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹*273K) = 2.66x10⁻³ mol NO

With 6.70x10⁻³ mol CH₄ we would need (5*6.70x10⁻³) 0.0335 mol NO, there's not enough NO to fully react with CH₄ or O₂, thus NO is the limiting reactant.

(B)

The amount of NO moles that reacted is

2.66x10⁻³ * 0.88 = 2.341x10⁻³ mol NO reactedRemaining moles NO= 2.66x10⁻³ - 2.341x10⁻³ = 3.190x10⁻⁴ mol NO

Then we determine the moles of CH₄ and O₂ that reacted:

CH₄⇒ 2.341x10⁻³ mol NO * (1molCH₄/5molNO) = 4.682x10⁻⁴ mol CH₄ reacted

Remaining moles CH₄ = 6.70x10⁻³ - 4.682x10⁻⁴ = 6.232x10⁻³ mol CH₄

O₂⇒ 2.341x10⁻³ mol NO * (5molO₂/5molNO) = 2.341x10⁻³ mol O₂ reacted

Remaining moles O₂ = 0.0395 - 2.341x10⁻³ = 0.0371 mol O₂

Now we use PV=nRT to calculate the partial pressure of each reactant after the reaction, using V=2.2L and STP:

CH₄⇒ P = 6.232x10⁻³mol*0.082atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹*273.16K/2.2L=6.345x10⁻³ atm

O₂⇒ P = 0.378 atm

NO ⇒ P = 3.248x10⁻³ atm

(B) Part 2

We calculate the amount of each product formed and again use PV=nRT to calculate P:

CO₂ ⇒ 4.682x10⁻⁴ mol CH₄ *(1molCO₂/1molCH₄)=4.682x10⁻⁴ mol CO₂

P = 4.767x10⁻³ atm

H₂O ⇒ 4.682x10⁻⁴ mol CH₄ *(1molH₂O/1molCH₄)=4.682x10⁻⁴ mol H₂O

P = 4.767x10⁻³ atm

NO₂ ⇒ 4.682x10⁻⁴ mol CH₄ *(5molNO₂/1molCH₄)=2.341x10⁻³ mol NO₂

P = 0.0238 atm

OH ⇒ 4.682x10⁻⁴ mol CH₄ *(2molOH/1molCH₄) = 9.364x10⁻⁴ mol OH

P = 9.533x10⁻³ atm

(C)

The total pressure is the sum of all the partial pressures

P₊=PCH₄ + PO₂ + PNO + PCO₂ + PH₂O + PNO₂ + POH

P₊=0.430 atm

What is the relationship between wind and ocean waves? question 17 options: wind moving at higher speeds will transfer more energy to the water, resulting in stronger waves. wind moving at higher speeds will transfer energy over a larger part of the ocean water, resulting in waves with a shorter wavelength. winds moving at higher speeds with cause water to move forward at faster rates, causing larger ocean waves. winds moving at higher speeds will affect deeper water, resulting in waves that move at a faster rate. how do temperature and salinity affect deepwater currents? question 15 options: as temperatures and salinity levels of water increase, the water rises to the surface where it creates currents as it moves to colder regions. they create changes in wind direction, moving denser water in the same direction as the wind and causing the deepwater circulation patterns found in the ocean. they equalize the forces on undersea currents caused by the coriolis effect as they replace more dense water with less dense water. they create density differences that cause dense deepwater currents to flow toward the equator where they displace less dense, warmer water above them.
