Question
10) Hydrocarbons are organic compounds consisting of hydrogen and carbon only. Burning
hydrocarbons in the presence of oxygen, O2, produces carbon
She oxide, CO₂, and water, H₂O.
Methane, CH4, is a hydrocarbon used primarily as fuel to make heat and light. The overall reaction
of a number of such steps of methane gas is:
CH4(g) + O2(g) + NO(g) → CO2(g) + H2O(g) + NO2(g) + OH(g)
Suppose that 3.92 L of methane at STP, 10.8 L of oxygen at STP, and 8.3 L of nitrogen monoxide at
STP were combined in a 7.0 L flask. The reaction is allowed the stand for several weeks at 275 K. If
the reaction reaches 79.5% of completion, what is the total pressure in the flask? What is the partial
pressure of CH4(g) and H2O(g) in the flask?
