    Calculate the volume of  CO2 gas at STP by the combustion of 20grams of CH4.

    • 27dm^3

    • 28dm^3

    • 26dm^3

    • 25dm^3

    Correct Answer
    A. 28dm^3
    Explanation
    The volume of CO2 gas produced by the combustion of 20 grams of CH4 can be calculated using the ideal gas law equation PV = nRT. Since the question states that the calculation is done at STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure), we can assume that the temperature is 273 K and the pressure is 1 atm. The molar mass of CH4 is 16 g/mol, so there are 1.25 moles of CH4 (20 g / 16 g/mol). According to the balanced chemical equation for the combustion of CH4, 1 mole of CH4 produces 1 mole of CO2. Therefore, there will be 1.25 moles of CO2 gas produced. Using the ideal gas law equation, we can calculate the volume of CO2 gas at STP, which is approximately 28 dm^3.

    Nitric acid can be neutralized by any base to form a salt and water, as in the following equation: Mg(OH)2  +  2 HNO3  →  Mg(NO3)2  +  2 H­2O How much magnesium nitrate salt will be formed by the reaction of 250. g magnesium hydroxide with 250. g nitric acid?

    • 318 g

    • 636 g

    • 294 g

    • 147 g

    Correct Answer
    A. 294 g
    Explanation
    The equation given represents a neutralization reaction between magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) and nitric acid (HNO3). According to the balanced equation, 1 mole of Mg(OH)2 reacts with 2 moles of HNO3 to form 1 mole of Mg(NO3)2 and 2 moles of H2O. To determine the amount of magnesium nitrate formed, we need to calculate the moles of Mg(OH)2 and HNO3 present in the given masses. The molar mass of Mg(OH)2 is 58.33 g/mol, so 250 g of Mg(OH)2 is equal to 4.29 moles. The molar mass of HNO3 is 63.01 g/mol, so 250 g of HNO3 is equal to 3.97 moles. Since the reaction ratio is 1:1 between Mg(OH)2 and Mg(NO3)2, the moles of Mg(NO3)2 formed will also be 4.29 moles. The molar mass of Mg(NO3)2 is 148.32 g/mol, so the mass of Mg(NO3)2 formed will be 4.29 moles multiplied by 148.32 g/mol, which is equal to 637.2 g. Therefore, the correct answer is 294 g.
