When determining the melting point of a substance, should one use a large or a small sample in the capillary? Should the sample

be firmly or loosely packed? Explain?

The glass capillary having one end closed and one open end is generally used for the determination of melting point of the sample. From the open end, the sample is put into the capillary, the sample must be firmly packed as the melting point is an intrinsic property that means it is independent of sample size. So, in order to determine the melting point of the sample small sample in the capillary is sufficient to measure the melting point of the sample. To obtain the more consistent value of melting point one must pack the sample firmly in the capillary.

Hence, when determining the melting point of a substance, one should use a small sample in the capillary and the sample should be firmly packed.

Write a balanced equation for the complete oxidation reaction that occurs when methane (CH4) burns in air.
Lelechka [254]

Answer: The balanced equation for the complete oxidation reaction that occurs when methane (CH4) burns in air is CH_{4} + 2O_{2} \rightarrow CO_{2} + 2H_{2}O.

Explanation:

When a substance tends to gain oxygen atom in a chemical reaction and loses hydrogen atom then it is called oxidation reaction.

For example, chemical equation for oxidation of methane is as follows.

CH_{4} + O_{2} \rightarrow CO_{2} + H_{2}O

Number of atoms present on reactant side are as follows.

  • C = 1
  • H = 4
  • O = 2

Number of atoms present on product side are as follows.

  • C = 1
  • H = 2
  • O = 3

To balance this equation, multiply O_{2} by 2 on reactant side. Also, multiply H_{2}O by 2 on product side. Hence, the equation can be rewritten as follows.

CH_{4} + 2O_{2} \rightarrow CO_{2} + 2H_{2}O

Now, the number of atoms present on reactant side are as follows.

  • C = 1
  • H = 4
  • O = 4

Number of atoms present on product side are as follows.

  • C = 1
  • H = 4
  • O = 4

Since, the atoms present on both reactant and product side are equal. Therefore, this equation is now balanced.

Thus, we can conclude that balanced equation for the complete oxidation reaction that occurs when methane (CH4) burns in air is CH_{4} + 2O_{2} \rightarrow CO_{2} + 2H_{2}O.

Compared to a swimming pool filled with water, a hot cup of coffee has higher temperature, but less thermal energy
Julli [10]
Thermal energy equation is;
    Q = mcΔθ

Q = Thermal energy
m = mass
c = specific heat
Δθ = Temperature difference

the hot cup of coffee has a higher temperature. But the mass of coffee is very low compared to the mass of water in swimming pool. The maximum temperature for coffee only can go up to 100 ⁰C since the boiling point of water is 100 ⁰C. But the mass of water in swimming pool is very large and the thermal enegy is very high compared to the coffee cup due to that reason.
