It is true that methane, which is a greenhouse gas and contributes to global warming.

A greenhouse gas is a gas that absorbs and emits radiant energy within the thermal infrared range.

Global warming is rise in the average temperature of the Earth's climate system.

Most often greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (molecular formula CH4). These gases come from burning multiple substances: coal, petroleum, plastic and natural gas.

Balanced chemical reaction of combustion of methane:

CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

Greenhouse gases are so difficult to measure, because carbone dioxide, methane, chlorofluorocarbons comes from multiple sources, some of which are relatively hard to measure.

This gas law works only if temperature is recorded in ———— units
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Kelvin

Explanation:

  • Gas laws re the laws that relates properties of gases such as pressure, temperature and volume at different conditions.
  • Gas laws includes, Boyle's law, Charles law, grahams law and pressure law among others.
  • Temperature is one of the quantity of gases explained by gas laws. For gas laws to work, temperature should always be in Kelvin. Therefore, when given temperature in degrees, it is converted to Kelvin by adding 273, that is °C + 273 = K.

If 152 grams of ethane (c2h6) are reacted with 231 grams of oxygen gas, what is the mass of the excess reactant leftover after t
Naya [18.7K]
Answer is: <span>the mass of the excess reactant (ethane) leftover is 90.135 grams.
</span>Chemical reaction: 2C₂H₆(g) + 7O₂(g) → 4CO₂(g) + 6H₂O<span>(g).
m(</span>C₂H₆) = 152 g.
n(C₂H₆) = m(C₂H₆) ÷ M(C₂H₆).
n(C₂H₆) = 152 g ÷ 30 g/mol.
n(C₂H₆) = 5.067 mol.
m(O₂) = 231 g.
n(O₂) = 231 g ÷ 32 g/mol.
n(O₂) = 7.218 mol; limiting reactant.
From chemical reaction: n(O₂) : n(C₂H₆) = 7 : 2.
n(C₂H₆) = 2 · 7.218 mol ÷ 7.
n(C₂H₆) = 2.0625mol.
Δn(C₂H₆) = 5.067 mol - 2.0625 mol.
Δn(C₂H₆) = 3.0045 mol.
Δm(C₂H₆) = 3.0045 mol · 30 g/mol = 90.135 g.

Which net ionic equation would match this description of a chemical reaction: When a
krok68 [10]

Answer:

3Mg^{2+}(aq.)+2PO_{4}^{3-}(aq.)\rightarrow Mg_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}(s)

Explanation:

Mg(NO_{3})_{2}, Na_{3}PO_{4} are strong electrolytes. Hence they are fully ionized in aqueous solution.

Mg_{3}(PO_{4})_{2} is a sparingly soluble salt. Hence it remains undissociated in aqueous solution.

So, total ionic equation:

3Mg^{2+}(aq.)+6NO_{3}^{-}(aq.)+6Na^{+}(aq.)+2PO_{4}^{3-}(aq.)\rightarrow Mg_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}(s)+6Na^{+}(aq.)+6NO_{3}^{-}(aq.)

Net ionic equation is written by omitting spectator ions from total ionic equation.

Here, Na^{+} and NO_{3}^{-} ions are spectator ions as they remain present on both side of total ionic equation.

So, net ionic equation:

3Mg^{2+}(aq.)+2PO_{4}^{3-}(aq.)\rightarrow Mg_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}(s)

So, option (d) is correct.
