A small sample of methane burns, releasing 120.0 kJ of heat and doing 830.0 kJ of work. The total energy released is -950.0 kJ.

  • What is energy?

Energy is a property that is transferred to a physical system, recognizable in the performance of work and in the form of heat and light.

A small sample of methane undergoes combustion. As the hot gas mixture expands, it releases energy (E).

  • It releases 120.0 kJ of heat. By convention, when heat is released, we assign it a negative sign. Thus, q = -120.0 kJ.
  • It does 830.0 kJ of work. By convention, when the system does work on the surroundings, we assign it a negative sign. Thus, w = -830.0 kJ.

The change in the energy is the sum of the heat released and the work done.

ΔE = q + w = -120.0 kJ + (-830.0 kJ) = -950.0 kJ

A small sample of methane burns, releasing 120.0 kJ of heat and doing 830.0 kJ of work. The total energy released is -950.0 kJ.

Why is air considered a mixture not a compound?
blondinia [14]
<span>The best reason I can think of for why we believe that air is a mixture is that freezing air slowly yields different liquids at different temperatures. Liquid nitrogen has a different boiling point than liquid oxygen. They also freeze at different temperatures. If air were only 1 compound, then air in its entirety would have a single boiling point and a single freezing point. </span>

A sample of a compound containing boron (B) and hydrogen (H) contains 5.443 g of B and 1.522 g of H. The molar mass of the compo
Svetach [21]

You are calculating the empirical formula of this chemical compound, which is the question with moles, molar mass, and number of moles.

first you divide the mass of BORON by its molar mass(relative formula mass)because there is a formula about moles state: number of moles=mass/molar mass.

So, 5.443/11 is about 0.5. Then, the RFM of H is 1, so the number of mole is 1.522/1=1.522.

Next, you get the number of moles in order is; 0.5 and 1.522. Now we need to look at the ratio between these numbers. 0.5 is smaller so we use it as the ratio of 1.  next use 1.522/0.5 is 3.044 which has a greatest common factor of 3. so the empirical formula is BH3.

Now we are going to solve the molecular formula.

the molar mass ofthis compound is 30g, so we're going to find the RFM of the empirical formulsof BH3 first.

11+3=14.

now we see how many times 14 goes into 30. 30/14=2.14 which is about 2.

So now we need to times the subscript of the empirical formula by two.

thus, the molecular formula is B2H6.


To solve this kind of  questions, there are many steps:Know what you are calculating about, it's about the molecular formula, so you need to find out the number of moles of each elements. then use the molar mass of the whole compound to calculate the molecular formula.

1) Find the RFM of the element, because that is the molar mass(mass of 1 mole) of this element.

2) number of moles= mass/molar mass. use this formula to help you get the number of moles of each element in this compound

3) look at the relationship between the number of moles of each elements. find out the ratio between them.

4) then use the molarmass of the whole compound to find the molecular formula. molar mass of the whole compound/RFM(molar mass) of the empirical formula of elements= the number you need to multiply by the subscript of the empirical formula to get the molecular formula.

please tell me if i got anything wrong;)
