An important reaction for the conversion of natural gas toother useful hydrocarbons is the conversion of methane toethane.2 CH4(g)---->C2H6(g) + H2(g)In practice, this reaction is carried out in the presence of oxygen,which converts the hydrogen produced into water.2 CH4(g) + 1/2O2(g)---->C2H6(g) + H2O(g)Use Table 8.3 to estimate ΔH for these two reactions. Why isthe conversion of methane to ethane more favorable whenoxygen is used?

Lead (Pb) has been used for centuries. The Romans used it in their plumbing systems - the symbol for lead (Pb plumbus). To extract the metal, lead (II) sulfide (mineral galena) is roasted in air to form lead (II) oxide (PbO): 2 PbS(s) + 3 O2(g) → 2 PbO(s) + 2 SO2(g) AHrxn = -827.4 kJ Then the lead (II) oxide is reduced with carbon to the metal lead: PbO(s) + C(s) Pb(s) + СО (9) AHrxn = +106.8 kJ a) Use the equations above and Hess's Law to determine the enthalpy of change for the following reaction: PbS(s) + /2 O2(g) + C(s) → Pb(s) + CO (g) SO2(g) ΔΗη [ Select ] kJ (1 mol PbS) b) How much energy (kJ) absorbed (+AHxn) or evolved (-AHpxn) when 400.0 grams of lead (II) sulfide (PbS(s) is converted to lead (Pb)?

There are two steps in the extraction of copper metal from chalcocite, a copper ore. In the first step, copper(I) sulfide and oxygen react to form copper(I) oxide and sulfur dioxide: →+2Cu2Ss 3O2g + 2Cu2Os 2SO2g In the second step, copper(I) oxide and carbon react to form copper and carbon monoxide: →+Cu2Os Cs + 2Cus COg Suppose the yield of the first step is 86.% and the yield of the second step is 64.% . Calculate the mass of copper(I) sulfide required to make 2.0kg of copper. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if needed, and is rounded to the correct number of significant digits.
One way the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tests for chloride contaminants in water is by titrating a sample of silver nitrate solution. Any chloride anions in solution will combine with the silver cations to produce bright white silver chloride precipitate. Suppose an EPA chemist tests a 250.mL sample of groundwater known to be contaminated with iron(III) chloride, which would react with silver nitrate solution like this: FeCl3 (aq) + 3AgNO3 (aq) → 3AgCl (s) + FeNO33 (aq)The chemist adds 86.0m M silver nitrate solution to the sample until silver chloride stops forming. He then washes, dries, and weighs the precipitate. He finds he has collected 7.5mg of silver chloride. Calculate the concentration of iron(III) chloride contaminant in the original groundwater sample. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Your lab partner accidentally mixed some sodium chloride with your sample of Epsom salts (MgSO₄･7H₂O). You want to make a standard solution of magnesium ion, and this is the only sample of a magnesium salt you have. To determine the amount of magnesium salt in the mixture, you heat 100.00 g to drive off the water of hydration and find that the anhydrous mixture has a mass of 57.75 g. How many grams of the original salt mixture must you add to 1.000 L of water to make a 0.100 M solution of Mg²⁺ ion?
