70.0 cm³ of a mixture of methane and ethane were mixed with 250 cm³ of oxygen at room temperature and pressure and the mixture was exploded. On cooling back to the initial room conditions, the volume of the gases was 160 cm³, which was reduced to 50.0 cm³ on passing through aqueous sodium hydroxide. Calculate the volume of methane and ethane in the mixture.

Because carbon and silicon are both elements in group 14 on the periodic table, we expect them to react with other elements in similar ways. To some extent, they do, but in some cases, carbon and silicon compounds that seem to have analogous structures have very different chemical characteristics. For example, carbon tetrachloride, CCl4, is very stable in the presence of water, but silicon tetrachloride, SiCl4, reacts quickly with water. The unbalanced equation for this reaction is SiCl4 + H2O → Si(OH)4 + HCl Balance this equation. Write a conversion factor that could be used to convert between moles of SiCl4 and moles of H2O. How many moles of SiCl4 react with 24 moles of water? Write a conversion factor that could be used to convert between moles of Si(OH)4 and moles of water. How many moles of Si(OH)4 form when 4.01 moles of H2O react with an excess of SiCl4?
The nitrogen content of organic compounds can be determined by the Dumas method.The compound in question is first passed over hot CuO(s): Compound N2(g) + CO2(g) + H2O(g) The gaseous products are then passed through a concentrated aqueous KOH solution to remove the CO2.The remaining gas contains N2 and water vapor.A 0.127-g sample of a compound was treated as above, producing 89.0 mL of N2 saturated with water vapor at 25 °C and 739.3 torr.What is the mass percent of nitrogen in the compound? .
