Can someone help me find the theoretical value of methane? It is chemistry

Methane is lighter than air, having a specific gravity of 0.554. It is only slightly soluble in water. It burns readily in air, forming carbon dioxide and water vapour; the flame is pale, slightly luminous, and very hot. The boiling point of methane is −162 °C (−259.6 °F) and the melting point is −182.5 °C (−296.5 °F). Methane in general is very stable, but mixtures of methane and air, with the methane content between 5 and 14 percent by volume, are explosive. Explosions of such mixtures have been frequent in coal mines and collieries and have been the cause of many mine disasters.

Propiedades químicas del óxido

tangare [24]

Óxidos básicos: Son formados por metales. El metal presente en su fórmula puede presentar carga eléctrica +1 y +2, o sea, poseer carácter iónico. Ejemplos: Na2O (óxido de sodio), BaO (óxido de bario).

Óxidos neutros: Son compuestos por no metales. No reaccionan con agua, ácido o base, en razón del enlace covalente que une sus componentes; de ahí el por qué de ser llamados óxidos inertes. Ejemplos: monóxido de dinitrógeno (N2O) y monóxido de carbono (CO).

Óxidos ácidos: También conocidos como anhídridos de ácidos, son formados por no metales y presentan carácter covalente. En la presencia de agua, producen ácidos y en la presencia de bases, origina sal y agua. Ejemplo: CO2 (dióxido de carbono o gas carbono) y el SO2 (dióxido de azufre)

Óxidos dobles o mixtos: La combinación de dos óxidos de un mismo elemento, da origen a este tipo de óxidos. Ejemplo: magnetita (Fe2O4), unión de los óxidos de hierro (Fe) y oxígeno (O).

Óxidos anfóteros: Presentan ambigüedad, en la presencia de un ácido se comportan como óxidos básicos y en la presencia de una base, como óxidos ácidos. Ejemplos: óxido de aluminio (Al2O3 ) y el óxido de zinc (ZnO).

Peróxidos: Compuestos que poseen en su fórmula el grupo (O2)2- . Los peróxidos más comunes son formados por hidrógeno, metales alcalinos y metales alcalinos térreos. Ejemplos: agua oxigenada (H2O) y peróxido de sodio (Na2O2).

Answer: Seastars prey on mussels and shellfish which would otherwise have no other natural predators. Herbivorous fish like the butterflyfish pictured to the left prey on marine algae. Without this crucial predator-prey balance, the algae would over-grow, which would then kill coral, as they compete for the same resources.

boyakko [2]

Explanation:

The property of a substance to resist the flow of motion is known as viscosity. And, more is the density of a substance more will be its viscosity.

Whereas, lesser is the density of a substance then it is easy for the substance to move.

This means that more is the viscosity of a substance least will be its flow and when a substance has lesser viscosity then it will readily flow from one point to another.

Thus, we can conclude that the viscosities of several liquids are being compared. All the liquids are poured down a slope with equal path lengths. The liquid with the highest viscosity will reach the bottom last.
