Given:
CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O, ΔH = -890 kJ/mol

How much energy is released when 59.7 grams of methane (CH4) reacts with oxygen?

The combustion of 59.7 grams of methane releases kilojoules of energy

The combustion of 59.7 grams of methane releases 3320.81 kilojoules of energy

Explanation:

Given;

CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O, ΔH = -890 kJ/mol

From the combustion reaction above, it can be observed that;

1 mole of methane (CH₄) released 890 kilojoules of energy.

Now, we convert 59.7 grams of methane to moles

CH₄ = 12 + (1x4) = 16 g/mol

59.7 g of CH₄

1 mole of methane (CH₄) released 890 kilojoules of energy

3.73125 moles of methane (CH₄) will release ?

= 3.73125 moles x  -890 kJ/mol

= -3320.81 kJ

Therefore, the combustion of 59.7 grams of methane releases 3320.81 kilojoules of energy

the ozone layer acts as a filter for the shorter wavelength and highly hazardous ultraviolet radiation (uvr) from the sun, protecting life on earth from its potentially harmful effects. when the sky is clear, there is an inverse relationship between stratospheric ozone and solar uvr measured at the earth's surface.
