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.

The amount ofcalcium present in milk can be determined by adding oxalate to asample and measuring the massof calcium oxalate pre

Sauron [17]

Answer: The mass percent of calcium in milk is 0.107 %

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

Given mass of calcium oxalate = 0.429 g

Molar mass of calcium oxalate = 128.1 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of calcium oxalate}=\frac{0.429g}{128.1g/mol}=0.0033mol$

The given chemical equation follows:

$Na_2C_2O_4(aq.)+Ca^{2+}(aq.)\rightarrow CaC_2O_4(s)+2Na^+(aq.)$

Sodium oxalate is present in excess. So, it is considered as an excess reagent. And, calcium ion is a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of calcium oxalate is produced from 1 mole of calcium ion

So, 0.0033 moles of calcium oxalate is produced from = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.0033=0.0033mol$ of calcium ions

Now, calculating the mass of calcium ions by using equation 1, we get:

Moles of calcium ions = 0.0033 moles

Molar mass of calcium ions = 40 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.0033mol=\frac{\text{Mass of calcium ions}}{40g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of calcium ions}=(0.0033mol\times 40g/mol)=0.132g$

To calculate the mass percentage of calcium ions in milk, we use the equation:

$\text{Mass percent of calcium ions}=\frac{\text{Mass of calcium ions}}{\text{Mass of milk}}\times 100$

Mass of milk = 125 g

Mass of calcium ions = 0.132 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Mass percent of calcium ions}=\frac{0.132g}{125g}\times 100=0.107\%$

Hence, the mass percent of calcium in milk is 0.107 %

An unsaturated solution is one that ________. an unsaturated solution is one that ________. contains the maximum concentration o

ziro4ka [17]

An unsaturated solution is one that has a concentration lower than it's solubility. What happens is all of the solute dissolves in the solvent. For example, dumping a spoon of sugar into coffee ends up with an unsaturated solution. Because all the sugar dissolves into the solvent (the coffee).

What is the new concentration of a solution of CaSO3 if 10.0 mL of a 2.0 M CaSO3 solution is diluted to 100 ml?

kifflom [539]

Answer: The new concentration of a solution of $CaSO_{3}$ is 0.2 M 10.0 mL of a 2.0 M $CaSO_{3}$ solution is diluted to 100 mL.

Explanation:

Given: $V_{1}$ = 10.0 mL, $M_{1}$ = 2.0 M

$V_{2}$ = 100 mL, $M_{2}$ = ?

Formula used to calculate the new concentration is as follows.

$M_{1}V_{1} = M_{2}V_{2}$

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

$M_{1}V_{1} = M_{2}V_{2}\\10.0 mL \times 2.0 M = M_{2} \times 100 mL\\M_{2} = 0.2 M$

Thus, we can conclude that the new concentration of a solution of $CaSO_{3}$ is 0.2 M 10.0 mL of a 2.0 M $CaSO_{3}$ solution is diluted to 100 mL.

A 100g sample of a metal was heated to 100oC and then quickly transferred to an insulated container holding 100g of water at 22o

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

B) The metal temperature changed more than the water temperature did, but the metal lost

the same amount of thermal energy as the water gained.

Explanation:

Heat capacity or thermal capacity is defined as the amount of heat required by a given mass of a material to raise its temperature by one unit which means that the heat capacity of the water, that is the quantity of heat required to cause a rise from 22°C to 35°C that is a rise of 13°C is the quantity of heat that caused the drop in temperature of the metal from 100°C to 35°C a change of 65°C

The water has more capacity to absorb heat or a higher heat capacity than the metal

However, the first law of thermodynamics states that energy is neither created nor destroyed, but it changes from one form to another. In this case, the thermal energy lost by the metal is the same as the thermal or heat energy gained by the water
