which conversion factor do you use first to calculate the number of grams of CO2 produced by the reaction of 50.6 gram of CH4 with O2? The equation for the complete combustion of methane is: CH4+2O2-->CO2+2H2O.

• chemistry -

First convert 50.6 g CH4 to mols.
mols CH4 = 50.6 g CH4 x (1 mol CH4/16 g CH4) = ??

• chemistry -

it si 1mol CH4/16.0 g CH4

DECOMPOSITION OF NO2 (10/10 points)
The decomposition of NO2 at room temperature exhibits the following variation in concentration with time:

The concentration of NO2 is expressed in mol/liter, while time is expressed in seconds.

[NO2] ln[NO2] 1/[NO2] Time (s)
0.0831 -2.4877 12.03 0
0.0666 -2.7091 15.02 4.2
0.0567 -2.8700 17.64 7.9
0.0487 -3.0221 20.53 11.4
0.0441 -3.1213 22.68 15.0

a. Express the rate of decomposition of NO2 as a function of the concentration of NO2 and determine the order of reaction. (numerical response only: 1 = 1st order, 1.5 = three halves order, 2 = 2nd order, etc.)

2 - correct

b. Determine the value of the rate constant.

X-RAY DIFFRACTION OF AN UNKNOWN METAL, MIGHT BE DANGEROUS (10/10 points)
Last week you and a friend started an experiment to obtain the X-ray diffraction peaks of an unknown metal. Through these diffraction peaks you wanted to determine:
(a) whether the cell is SC, BCC, or FCC
(b) the (hkl) value of the peaks
(c) the lattice parameter a of the metal

Unfortunately, however, your friend (since he's not in 3.091) left MIT yesterday, not to return until next semester. All of the data that you could recover from the rubble in his room was the following:

sin^2(\theta) 0.120 0.239 0.480 0.600 0.721 0.841 0.956

You also know that the metal is in the cubic crystal system and the wavelength of the X-rays used is
lambda_CuK_alpha. Using the following information, determine the information you were originally interested in (a, b, and c above).

a. Is the cell SC, BCC, or FCC?

SC- correct

b. Enter the hkl value of the peaks as a list separated by commas. Do not put spaces between the values. For instance:
(100),(111),...

(100),(110),(111),(200),(102),(112),(202) - correct

c. Enter the lattice parameter a in Angstroms.

2.24 - correct

HYDROGEN STORAGE IN ALLOYS - THE FUTURE? (10/10 points)
Certain alloys such as LaNi5 can store hydrogen at room temperature. A plate of LaNi5 containing no hydrogen is placed in a chamber filled with pure hydrogen and maintained at a constant pressure. At what depth from the surface will the concentration of hydrogen be half the surface concentration after 1 hour? (Express your answer in centimeters). Assume the diffusivity of hydrogen in the alloy is 3.091x10-6 cm2/sec. Use the approximation erf(x) = x for x with values between 0 and 0.6, if appropriate.
