Answer:
C + 2H2 = CH4
Given 30.2g of H2
Find the Moles
Mole =Mass/Molar Mass
Molar Mass of H2 = 1x2 = 2g/mol
Mole = 30.2/2
= 15.1moles of Hydrogen gas.
Now from the balanced equation of Reaction above...
1mole of Carbon reacts completely with 2moles of Hydrogen gas.
"x" moles of carbon with react with 15.1moles of Hydrogen
x = 15.1/2
=7.55moles of carbon.
We now have moles of carbon.
To find mass
Mole =Mass/Molar Mass
Mass = Mole x Molar Mass
Molar mass of carbon = 12g/mol
Mass = 7.55 x 12
Mass = 90.6g of carbon is needed.
