To determine the volume of CH4 (methane) required to react completely with 10 g of H2 (hydrogen), we need to first determine the molar ratio between the two reactants according to the balanced chemical equation for the reaction:
2H2 + CH4 -> 4HCl
From the balanced equation, we can see that 2 moles of H2 react with 1 mole of CH4.
First, calculate the number of moles of H2 in 10 g:
Molar mass of H2 = 2 g/mol Number of moles of H2 = 10 g / 2 g/mol = 5 moles
Since the molar ratio between H2 and CH4 is 2:1, we can determine that 5 moles of H2 will react with 2.5 moles of CH4.
Next, we'll calculate the volume of CH4 at STP (standard temperature and pressure) using the ideal gas law:
PV = nRT
Where: P = pressure (1 atm) V = volume n = number of moles R = ideal gas constant (0.0821 L·atm/mol·K) T = temperature (273 K)
In this case, the volume can be calculated using the equation:
V = nRT / P
V = 2.5 mol x 0.0821 L·atm/mol·K x 273 K / 1 atm V = 56.6675 L
Therefore, the volume of CH4 required to react completely with 10 g of H2 is approximately 56.67 liters at standard temperature and pressure.
