What is the difference between ethanol and methanol.

1 answer:

5 0

Methanol and ethanol are alcohol variants. Methanol contains only one carbon and ethanol contains two carbon in each molecule. Both substances can be used as energy sources, but methanol primarily serves as a research subject, and its use as a motor fuel has been mostly phased out in the United States.

When magnesium metal is heated in air it begins to release large amounts of heat and light. What kind of a reaction is this an e

Salsk061 [2.6K]

It is called exothermic reaction because it releases heat and light and it is called combustion reaction because it is reacting and is being oxidised by O2 to MgO. It can also be called as oxidation reaction since Mg is oxidised to MgO.

What is the energy of a microwave photon that has a frequency of 9.86 x 1012 Hz?

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

6.533 × 10^-21J

Explanation:

The energy of the microwave photon can be calculated using:

E = hf

Where;

E = energy of photon (J)

h = Planck's constant (6.626 × 10^-34 J/s)

f = frequency (9.86 x 10^12 Hz)

Hence, E = hf

E = 6.626 × 10^-34 × 9.86 x 10^12

E = 65.33 × 10^(-34 + 12)

E = 65.33 × 10^(-22)

E = 6.533 × 10^-21J

The energy of the microwave photon is

6.533 × 10^-21J

27. Sample of neon gas has a pressure of 4.1 atm and argon gas with a pressure of 3.2 atm are added to a

MrRa [10]

Answer:

Option C. 13.5 atm

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Pressure of Neon (Pₙₑ) = 4.1 atm

Pressure of Argon (Pₐᵣ) = 3.2 atm

Pressure of nitrogen (Pₙ₂) = 6.2 atm

Total pressure (Pₜ) =?

The total pressure in the container can be obtained by adding the pressure of the individual gases. This is illustrated below:

Pₜ = Pₙₑ + Pₐᵣ + Pₙ₂

Pₜ = 4.1 + 3.2 + 6.2

Pₜ = 13.5 atm

Therefore, the total pressure in the container is 13.5 atm

What is a result of the unequal electron sharing in a water molecule?

Katarina [22]

Answer:

The right choice is c. Water molecules have a weakly positive hydrogen end.

Explanation:

The unequal sharing of electrons in water molecule gives a slight negative charge near its oxygen atom ( see image below) and a slight positive charge near its hydrogen atoms. A neutral molecule that has a partial positive charge at one end and a partial negative charge at the other, it is a polar molecule.

a. Water molecules have a nonpolar bond.

It is wrong choice because water has polar bond .

b. Water molecules have a weakly positive oxygen end.

Also, a wrong choice due to water molecule gives a slight negative charge near its oxygen atom.

c. Water molecules have a weakly positive hydrogen end.

This is the right choice.

d. Water molecules have two oxygen and two hydrogen atoms

It is wrong choice because water has one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms

<u>So, the right choice is</u>

c. Water molecules have a weakly positive hydrogen end.
