A sample of solid silver oxide with a mass of 11.4 grams was reduced to elemental silver by heating under a flow of methane gas, CH4. The reaction produced 10.6 grams of silver.
Write a balanced chemical reaction for the reaction between silver oxide and methane gas. The only products formed in the reaction are solid silver metal, carbon dioxide gas, and water vapor. Include the phases of each reactant and product.
Question 41 of 41
Suppose a boil water notice is sent out advising all residents in the area to boil their water before drinking it or using it for
cooking. You need to boil 14.0 L of water using your natural gas (primarily methane) stove. What volume of natural gas is
needed to boil the water if only 19.9% of the heat generated goes towards heating the water. Assume the density of methane is
0.668 g/L, the density of water is 1.00 g/mL, and that the water has an initial temperature of 20.8 °C. Enthalpy of formation
values can be found in this table. Assume that gaseous water is formed in the combustion of methane.
