When methane, CH4, is combusted, it produces carbon dioxide, CO2, according to the unbalanced equation: CH4 + O2 → CO2 + H2O. Write the balanced equation for this reaction, and explain how it is possible for 10 grams of methane fuel to burn and emit 27 grams of carbon dioxide. Discuss whether or not this reaction obeys the law of conservation of mass. (

in the analysis of systems that involve fluid flow, we frequently encounter the combination of properties u and pv.

answer : (a) volume of the gas = 8.67 ×   l

                (b) second virial coefficient b = -1.21226 l/mole

solution :   given,     t = 300k

                                p = 20atm

                                z = 0.86

                                n = 8.2 mmoles = 8.2 × moles

                                r =   0.082 l atm/k/mol

        find,     (a) volume of gas   and (b) second virial coefficient b at 300k.

formula used :            

                          and            

(a)            

                    = \times 0.082\times 300}{20}[/tex]

                    = 8.67 ×   l

(b)      

                    = (0.00867-1) × 8.659

                    = - 8.5839 l/mole

c. electrical charges of ionic bonds.
