The reform reaction between steam and gaseous methane (CH4) produces "synthesis gas," a mixture of carbon monoxide gas and dihydrogen gas. Synthesis gas is one of the most widely used industrial chemicals, and is the major industrial source of hydrogen.

Suppose a chemical engineer studying a new catalyst for the reform reaction finds that 924 liters per second of methane are consumed when the reaction is run at 261°C and 0.96atm. Calculate the rate at which dihydrogen is being produced. Give your answer in kilograms per second. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

The rate at which dihydrogen is being produced is 0.12 kg/sec

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation is ;

According to ideal gas equation:

P = pressure of gas = 0.96 atm

V = Volume of gas = 924 L

n = number of moles

R = gas constant =

T =temperature =

According to stoichiometry:

1 mole of methane produces = 3 moles of hydrogen

Thus 20.2 moles of methane produces = moles of hydrogen

Mass of hydrogen =

Thus the rate at which dihydrogen is being produced is 0.12 kg/sec

in scientific notation, the value of the  speed of light in a vacuum

  will be written as 2.995 * 10^8. when this value is represented in the form of

  a * 10^b, then, a = 2.995 and b = 8.

the value of the speed of light in a vacuum given above can also be rounded up to approximately 300000000. in this case, the scientific notation will be written as 3 *10^8.

they are both synthetic elements
