<span>Because of the octet rule, it is easy to predict the charge of the ion of an element. Look at the number of valence electrons the element has. If it is between 1 and 4 the atom will most likely loose those electrons to become stable, making it a positive ion with the charge of the number of electrons it will lose. If it has between 4 and 8 valence electrons the atom will most likely gain electrons to achieve a full outer ring of 8 electrons. Its atom will have a negative charge of the number of electrons it needs to have 8 total. Hope I Helped If You Don't Mind May I Have A Brainliest Answer Please? :)</span>
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.
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
