The methane molecule in the stratosphere has a higher potential energy than the CH₃ molecule and the hydrogen atom formed from breaking one of the carbon‐hydrogen bonds in a CH₄ molecule.

The complete question is:

<em>For each of the following situations, you are asked which of two objects or substances has the higher energy. Explain your answer with reference to the capacity of each to do work and say whether the energy that distinguishes them is kinetic energy or potential energy.</em>

<em>a. (1) A methane molecule, CH4, in the stratosphere or (2) a CH3 molecule and a hydrogen atom formed from breaking one of the carbon-hydrogen bonds in a CH4 molecule.</em>

<h3>Which have a higher energy?</h3>

The methane molecule in the stratosphere is a stable molecule and possesses chemical potential energy.

The CH₃ molecule and the hydrogen atom formed from breaking one of the carbon‐hydrogen bonds in a CH₄ molecule are unstable molecules and possesses kinetic energy. However, some of their energy has been used in breaking the bond.

Thus, the methane molecule in the stratosphere has a higher potential energy than the CH₃ molecule and the hydrogen atom formed from breaking one of the carbon‐hydrogen bonds in a CH₄ molecule.

In conclusion, the energy in the methane molecule is higher.

Why can't polyatomic ions ever stand alone?
Basile [38]
The prefix "poly-" means "many," and "atomic" refers to atoms, so a polyatomic ion is made of 2+ atoms covalently bonded together. These ions are charged, which is why they can never stand alone.

A student carried out a titration using HC2H3O2(aq)HC2H3O2(aq) and NaOH(aq)NaOH(aq). The net ionic equation for the neutralizati
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

The amount of HC₂H3₃2(aq) in the flask after the addition of 5.0mL of NaOH(aq) compared to the amount of HC₂H₃O₂(aq) in the flask after the addition of 1.0mL is much smaller because more HC₂H₃O₂(aq) is required to react with 5.0 mL NaOH than with 1.0 mL NaOH.

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction between acetic acid, HC₂H₃O₂(aq) and sodium hydroxide, NaOH(aq) is given below:

CH₃COOH (aq) + NaOH (aq) ----> CH₃COONa (aq) + H₂O

The equation of the reaction shows that acetic acid andsodium hydroxide will react in a 1:1 ratio

Since the concentration of NaOH was not given, we can assume that the concentration is 0.01 M

Moles of NaOH in 5.0 mL of 0.01 M NaOH = 0.01 × 5/1000 = 0.00005 moles

Moles of NaOH in 1.0 mL of 0.01 M NaOH = 0.01 ×1/1000 = 0.0001 moles

Ratio of moles of NaOH in 5.0 mL to 1.0 mL = 0.00005/0.00001 = 5

There are five times more moles of NaOH in 5.0 mL than in 1.0 mL and this means that 5 times more the quantity of HC₂H₃O2(aq) required to react with 1.0 mL NaoH is needed to react with 5.0 mL NaOH.

Therefore, the amount of HC₂H₃O2(aq) in the flask after the addition of 5.0mL of NaOH(aq) compared to the amount of HC₂H₃O₂(aq) in the flask after the addition of 1.0mL is much smaller because more HC₂H₃O₂(aq) is required to react with 5.0 mL NaOH than with 1.0 mL NaOH.
