33g

Explanation:

To solve this problem we need to determine the limiting reagent. This is the reagent in short supply. It usually determine the extent of the reaction.

Given equation:

CH₄ + 20₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

Mass of methane = 16g

Mass of oxygen = 48g

Convert to number of moles;

Number of moles = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

molar mass of CH₄ = 12 + 4 = 16g/mol

molar mass of O₂ = 16 x 2 = 32g/mol

Number of moles of CH₄ = $\frac{16}{16}$ = 1 mole

Number of moles of O₂ = $\frac{48}{32}$ = 1.5 moles

From the equation;

1 mole of methane needs 2 mole of oxygen gas

The amount of oxygen is in short supply.

We need to 2 moles to completely burn the methane but we were given 1.5 mole

since 2 moles of oxygen produce 1 mole of carbon dioxide

1.5 mole will produce $\frac{1.5}{2}$ = 0.75mole of carbon dioxide

Mass of carbon dioxide = number of moles x molar mass

Mass of carbon dioxide = 0.75 x (12 + (2 x 16)) = 33g

Which theory was contradicted by experiments with the photoelectric effect? light spreads out after it passes through a small opening. as soon as light strikes metal, electrons will be ejected. visible light, regardless of color, will cause the ejection of electrons when striking metal. the kinetic energy of ejected electrons depends on the frequency of light that strikes the metal.
