7 0

Answer:

The rates of decay of radioactive elements

Explanation:

The age of a rock in years is called its absolute age. Geologists find absolute ages by measuring the amount of certain radioactive elements in the rock. When rocks are formed, small amounts of radioactive elements usually get included.

lesantik [10]

Answer:

a hydrogen bond between the hydrogen of water and the nitrogen of the amine

a hydrogen bond between the oxygen of water and a hydrogen from the -NH2 group

Explanation:

A hydrogen bond is formed between molecules in which hydrogen is bonded to a highly electronegative element.

In amines, hydrogen is bonded to nitrogen while in water, hydrogen is bonded to oxygen. Both are highly electronegative elements hence hydrogen bonding is possible between amines and water.

This hydrogen bond may involve;

The hydrogen of water and the nitrogen of the amine

Or

The oxygen of water and a hydrogen from the -NH2 group

What mass of carbon dioxide is produced from the complete combustion of 6.00×10−3 g of methane?
Crazy boy [7]

The answer for the following problem is explained below.

  • <u><em>Therefore 16.5 × 10^-3 grams of carbon dioxide is produced from the complete combustion.</em></u>

Explanation:

Given:

mass of methane = 6.00 × 10^-3 grams

CH_{4} + O_{2} → CO_{2} + H_{2}O

Firstly balance the following equation:

Before balancing the equation:

CH_{4} + O_{2} → CO_{2}  + H_{2} O

After balancing the equation:

CH_{4}  + 2O_{2} → CO_{2} + 2 H_{2} O

where;

CH_{4}  represents methane molecule

O_{2} represents oxygen molecule

CO_{2}  represents carbon dioxide molecule

H_{2}O  represents water molecule

 

       CH_{4} +2 O_{2} → CO_{2} + 2H_{2}O

        16  grams of methane       →        44 grams of carbon dioxide

        6 × 10^-3 grams of methane →          ?

                 = \frac{44*6.00*10^{-3} }{16}

          = 16.5 × 10^-3 grams of carbon dioxide is produced from the complete combustion.

<u><em>Therefore 16.5 × 10^-3 grams of carbon dioxide is produced from the complete combustion.</em></u>

How does a combination reaction differ from a decomposition reaction
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Explanation:

Combination Reaction: is a reaction that occurs when two or more reactants combine to form a single new products. The reactants can either be Elements or Compounds. It does not require heat during the reaction.

A + B ---------> C

C (s) + O2 (g) ----------> CO2 (g)

CaO (s) + H2O (l) ---------> Ca(OH)2 (s)

In this reaction, energy is released.

Decomposition Reaction: is a reaction that occurs when a a single reactant is broken down to form two or more products. Application of heat is usually required in this type of reaction.

       Δ

AB --------->   C + D

                   Δ

CaCO3 (s) --------> CaO (s)  + CO2 (g)

In this reaction, energy is absorbed.
