What volume of oxygen at s.t.p is required to burn completely 7.5 dm\(^3\) of methane according to the following equation?

CH\(_4\) \(_g\) + 20\(_2\) \(_g\)  → CO\(_2\) \(_g\) + H\(_2\)O\(_g\)

A.

3.75 dm\(^3\)

B.

7.59 dm\(^3\)

C.

15.0 dm\(^3\)

D.

30.0dm\(^3\)

Correct answer is C

1 mole of methane reacts with 2 moles of oxygen

1 vol of methane reacts with 2 vol of oxygen

: 7.5  vol of methane will yield 15 vol of oxygen in dm\(^3\)

f 5.0 cm\(^-3\) of 0.200 mol dm(^-3\) Na\(_2\)CO\(_3\) was diluted to 250cm(^-3\) solution, what would be the concentration of the resulting solution?

A.

0.004 mol dm(^-3\)

B.

0.020 mol dm(^-3\)

C.

0.200 mol dm(^-3\)

D.

0.400 mol dm(^-3\)

Correct answer is A

M_{1} = initial molarity
V_{1} = initial volume in liters
M_{2} = final molarity
V_{2} = final volume in liters

 

0.200 X 5.00 = M\(_2\) X 250

M\(_2\) = 1 / 250

M\(_2\) = 0.004 mol dm(^-3\)

Which of the following standard conditions is not correct about energy changes?

A.

Standard temperature is 298K

B.

Standard pressure is 1 atm

C.

Concentration of solution must be 1 mol/dm\(^3\)

D.

ΔH at 298 K is the activation energy

Correct answer is D

The standard conditions of 1 atm pressure and 298K.
