Combustion of hydrocarbons such as methane (CH,) produces carbon dioxide, a "greenhouse gas." Greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere can trap the Sun's heat, raising the average temperature of the Earth. For this reason there has been a great deal of international discussion about whether to regulate the production of carbon dioxide. 1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the combustion of gaseous methane into gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water. O-0 2. Suppose 0.390 kg of methane are burned in air at a pressure of exactly 1 atm and a temperature of 11.0 °C. Calculate the volume of carbon dioxide gas that is produced. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

The quicklime produced in Question 63 is frequently converted to calcium hydroxide, sometimes called slaked lime, by an exothermic reaction with water: CaO(s)+H2O(l)Ca(OH)2(s)+65.3kJ. What mass in grams of quicklime was processed in a reaction that transferred 291kJ of energy?
A possible practical way to eliminate oxides of nitrogen(such as NO2 ) from automobile exhaust gases uses cyanuricacid, C3N3(OH)3 . When heated to the relatively lowtemperature of 625°F, cyanuric acid converts to gaseousisocyanic acid (HNCO). Isocyanic acid reacts with NO2 inthe exhaust to form nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and water,all of which are normal constituents of the air. (a) Write balanced equations for these two reactions. (b) If the process described earlier became practical, howmuch cyanuric acid (in kilograms) would be requiredto absorb the 1.71010kgNO2 generated annuallyin auto exhaust in the United States?
Write a chemical equation representing the decomposition of water into two gaseous products. What are the products?
Assuming a 100 reaction yield, it was calculated that 6.983g of naturally occurring elemental iron would be needed to react with another element to form 18.149g of product. If iron composed only of the iron-60 isotope was used to form the product, how many grams of iron-60 would be required?
Question 57 through 62: Thermochemical equations may be written in two ways, either with an energy term as a part of the equation or with rH set apart from the regular equation. In the questions that follow, write both forms of the equations for the reactions described. Recall that state designations are required for all substances in a thermochemical equation. The reaction in an oxyacetylene torch is highly exothermic, releasing 1.31103kJ of heat to the environment for every mole of acetylene, C2H2(g), burned. The end products are gaseous carbon dioxide and liquid water.
