Combustion of hydrocarbons such as methane (CH) produces carbon dioxide, a "greenhouse gas." Greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere can trap the Sun's heat, raising the average temperature of the Earth. For this reason there has been a great deal of international discussion about whether to regulate the production of carbon dioxide. 1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the combustion of gaseous methane into gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water. O-0 Oxto 2. Suppose 0.380 kg of methane are burned in air at a pressure of exactly 1 atm and a temperature of 12.0 °C. Calculate the volume of carbon dioxide gas that is produced. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.

Many over-the-counter antacid tablets are now formulated using calcium carbonate as the active ingredient, which enables such tablets to also be used as dietary calcium supplements. As an antacid for gastric hyperacidity, calcium carbonate reacts by combining with hydrochloric acid found in the stomach, producing a solution of calcium chloride, converting the stomach acid to water, and releasing carbon dioxide gas (which the person suffering from stomach problems may feel as a “burp”). Write the unbalanced chemical equation for this process.
Write a chemical equation representing the decomposition of water into two gaseous products. What are the products?
A possible practical way to eliminate oxides of nitrogen(such as NO2 ) from automobile exhaust gases uses cyanuricacid, C3N3(OH)3 . When heated to the relatively lowtemperature of 625°F, cyanuric acid converts to gaseousisocyanic acid (HNCO). Isocyanic acid reacts with NO2 inthe exhaust to form nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and water,all of which are normal constituents of the air. (a) Write balanced equations for these two reactions. (b) If the process described earlier became practical, howmuch cyanuric acid (in kilograms) would be requiredto absorb the 1.71010kgNO2 generated annuallyin auto exhaust in the United States?
Many over-the-counter antacid tablets are now formulated using calcium carbonate as die active ingredient, which enables such tablets to also be used as dietary calcium supplements. As an antacid for gastric hyperacidity, calcium carbonate reacts by combining with hydrochloric acid found in the stomach, producing a solution of calcium chloride, converting die stomach acid to water, and releasing carbon dioxide gas (which the person suffering from stomach problems may feel as a burp). Write die balanced chemical equation for this process.
The thermite reaction combines aluminum powder and iron oxide and ignites the mixture to make aluminum oxide and iron. So much energy is given off that the iron productfrequently is molten. Write a balanced chemical reaction for the thermite process and determine its H(25C).
