Answer: The balanced equation for the above reaction is given below.

Explanation:

Combustion reaction is defined as the reaction in which a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water molecule.

The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of methane follows:

$CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O$

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of methane gas reacts with 2 moles of oxygen gas to produce 1 mole of carbon dioxide and 2 moles of water molecule.

Hence, the balanced chemical equation is given above.

A certain gas is present in a 15.0 LL cylinder at 2.0 atmatm pressure. If the pressure is increased to 4.0 atmatm the volume of

Helga [31]

Explanation:

According to Boyle's law, pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume at constant temperature and moles.

Mathematically, P = $\frac{k}{V}$

where, k = proportionality constant

Also, formula for initial pressure and volume is as follows.

$P_{i} = \frac{k_{i}}{V_{i}}$

or, $k_{i} = P_{i} \times V_{i}$

= $2 atm \times 15 L$

= 30 atm L

Now, we will calculate the value of $k_{f}$ as follows.

$k_{f} = P_{f} \times V_{f}$

= $4 atm \times 7.5 L$

= 30 atm L

Hence, as $k_{i} = k_{f}$ this means that it signifies that gas obeys boyle's law.

The solubility of carbon dioxide in water is 0.161 g CO2in 100 mL of water at 20ºC and 1.00 atmCO2. A soft drink is carbonated w

Sedbober [7]

Answer: The solubility of carbon dioxide at 5.50 atm is $0.886g/100mL$

Explanation:

To calculate the molar solubility, we use the equation given by Henry's law, which is:

$C_{A}=K_H\times p_{A}$

Or,

$\frac{C_{1}}{C_{2}}=\frac{p_{1}}{p_2}$

where,

$C_1\text{ and }p_1$ are the initial concentration and partial pressure of carbon dioxide

$C_2\text{ and }p_2$ are the final concentration and partial pressure of carbon dioxide

We are given:

$C_1=0.161g/100mL\\p_1=1.00atm\\C_2=?\\p_2=5.50atm$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\frac{0.161g/100mL}{C_2}=\frac{1.00atm}{5.50atm}\\\\C_2=\frac{0.161g/100mL\times 5.50atm}{1.00atm}=0.886g/100mL$

Hence, the solubility of carbon dioxide at 5.50 atm is $0.886g/100mL$

What does it mean to standardize the naoh solution why can the molarity of the naoh solution not be determined accurately?

ruslelena [56]

A standard solution is a solution (in this case sodium hydroxide) whose concentration (molarity) is known very precisely. The molarity of the sodium hydroxide solution cannot be determined accurately because solid sodium hydroxide is highly hygroscopic (absorbs water from the air) and cannot be accurately weighed. Sodium hydroxide form sodium carbonate because it absorbs carbon dioxide from the air.
