The atmosphere slowly oxidizes hydrocarbons in a number of steps
that eventually convert the hydrocarbon into carbon dioxide and
water. The overall reactions of a number of such steps for methane
gas is
CH4(g)+5O2(g)+5NO(g)→CO2(g)+H2O(g)+5NO2(g)+2OH(g)
Suppose that an atmospheric chemist combines 145 mL of methane at
STP, 885 mL of oxygen at STP, and 59.5 mL of NO at STP in a 1.8 −L
flask. The reaction is allowed to stand for several weeks at 275 K
.
If the reaction reaches 92.0% of completion (92.0% of the limiting reactant is consumed), what are the partial pressures of each of the reactants in the flask at 275 K ?
If the reaction reaches 92.0% of completion (92.0% of the limiting reactant is consumed), what are the partial pressures of each of the products in the flask at 275 K ?
