CH4 + O2 -> H2O + CO2

Then balance:

CH4 + 2 O2 -> 2 H2O + CO2

First your write the equation correctly.

CH4 +O2 ----- CO2 + H2O

The number are subscripts.
Now count the number of each kind of atom on the left and right side of the equation. Note, you have 4 H on the left and as written you have only 2 on the right. So add a coefficient-- a number in front of the formula.
CH4 +O2 ----- CO2 + 2 H2O
With the added coefficient in front of water, the number of hydrogens balance but the number of oxygens do not. There are only 2 oxygens on the left and a total of 4 oxygens on the right. A coefficient of 2 in front of oxygen on the left balances the equation.

How many reactant molecules and product gas molecules are in this equation?
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

N₂  = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

H₂ = 18.066 × 10²³ molecules

NH₃ = 12.044 × 10²³ molecules

Explanation:

Chemical equation;

N₂ + 3H₂     →  2NH₃

It can be seen that there are one mole of nitrogen three mole of hydrogen and two moles of ammonia are present in this equation. The number of molecules of reactant and product would be calculated by using Avogadro number.

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

Number of molecules of nitrogen gas:

1 mol = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

Number of molecules of hydrogen:

3 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ molecules/ 1 mol

18.066 × 10²³ molecules

Number of molecules of ammonia:

2 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ molecules/ 1 mol

12.044 × 10²³ molecules

A volume of 500.0 mL of 0.160 M NaOH is added to 585 mL of 0.200 M weak acid ( K a = 1.28 × 10 − 5 ) . What is the pH of the res
Hitman42 [59]

Answer : The pH of the resulting buffer is, 5.22

Explanation : Given,

K_a=1.28\times 10^{-5}

First we have to calculate the moles of NaOH\text{ and }HA

\text{Moles of }NaOH=\text{Concentration of }NaOH\times \text{Volume of solution}}=0.160M\times 0.500L=0.08mol

and,

\text{Moles of }HA=\text{Concentration of }HA\times \text{Volume of solution}}=0.200M\times 0.585L=0.117mol

The balanced chemical reaction is:

HA+(aq)+OH^-(aq)\rightarrow H_2O(l)+A^-(aq)

Moles of HA left = 0.117 mol - 0.08 mol = 0.037 mol

Moles of A^- = 0.08 mol

The expression used for the calculation of pK_a is,

pK_a=-\log (K_a)

Now put the value of K_a in this expression, we get:

pK_a=-\log (1.28\times 10^{-5})

pK_a=5-\log (1.28)

pK_a=4.89

Now we have to calculate the pH of buffer.

Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :

pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[Salt]}{[Acid]}

pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

pH=4.89+\log (\frac{0.08}{0.037})

pH=5.22

Thus, the pH of the resulting buffer is, 5.22

If our eyes could see a slightly wider region of the electromagnetic spectrum, we would see a fifth line in the Balmer series em
erica [24]

Answer: Wavelength  associated with the fifth line is 397 nm

Explanation:

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

\lambda = Wavelength of radiation

E= energy

For fifth line in the H atom spectrum in the balmer series will be from n= 2 to n=7.

Using Rydberg's Equation:

\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H\left(\frac{1}{n_i^2}-\frac{1}{n_f^2} \right )\times Z^2

Where,

\lambda = Wavelength of radiation

R_H = Rydberg's Constant =10973731.6m^{-1}

n_f = Higher energy level = 7

n_i= Lower energy level = 2 (Balmer series)

Putting the values, in above equation, we get

\frac{1}{\lambda}=10973731.6\times \left(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{7^2} \right )\times 1^2

\frac{1}{\lambda}=2.52\times 10^{6}m

\lambda}=3.97\times 10^{-7}m=397 nm      1nm=10^{-9}m

Thus wavelength λ associated with the fifth line is 397 nm
