Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its speed. When a raindrop is falling down from the clouds due to gravity, the veloicty is pretty much fast, however air resistance comes in action and slows the droplet down... it gives it a constant speed until it hits the ground

24 grams of CH4 was added to the above reaction. Calculate the theoretical yield of CO2. A. 66 grams B. 33 grams c. 132 grams. D

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Option A. 66 g

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

CH₄ + 2O₂ —> CO₂ + 2H₂O

Next, we shall determine the mass of CH₄ that reacted and the mass of CO₂ produced from the balanced equation. This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of CH₄ = 12 + (4×1)

= 12 + 4 = 16 g/mol

Mass of CH₄ from the balanced equation = 1 × 16 = 16 g

Molar mass of CO₂ = 12 + (16×2)

= 12 + 32 = 44 g/mol

Mass of CO₂ from the balanced equation = 1 × 44 = 44 g

SUMMARY:

From the balanced equation above,

16 g of CH₄ reacted to produce 44 g of CO₂.

Finally, we shall determine the theoretical yield of CO₂. this can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

16 g of CH₄ reacted to produce 44 g of CO₂.

Therefore, 24 g of CH₄ will react to produce = (24 × 44) /16 = 66 g of CO₂.

Thus, the theoretical yield of CO₂ 66 g

What forces hold network solids together?

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Covalent solids, also called network solids, are solids that are held together by covalent bonds. As such, they need localized electrons (shared between the atoms) and therefore the atoms are arranged in fixed geometries. Distortion far from this geometry can only occur through a breaking of covalent sigma bonds.

Acetic acid has a Kb of 2.93 °C/m and a normal boiling point of 118.1 °C. What would be the boiling point of a solution made by

alexdok [17]

Boiling point elevation is given as:

ΔTb=iKbm

Where,

ΔTb=elevation in the boiling point

that is given by expression:

ΔTb=Tb (solution) - Tb (pure solvent)

Here Tb (pure solvent)=118.1 °C

i for CaCO3= 2

Kb=2.93 °C/m

m=Molality of CaCO₃:

Molality of CaCO₃=Number of moles of CaCO₃/ Mass of solvent (Kg)

=(Given Mass of CaCO3/Molar mass of CaCO₃)/ Mass of solvent (Kg)

=(100.0÷100 g/mol)/0.4

= 2.5 m

So now putting value of m, i and Kb in the boiling point elevation equation we get:

ΔTb=iKbm

=2×2.93×2.5

=14.65 °C

boiling point of a solution can be calculated:

ΔTb=Tb (solution) - Tb (pure solvent)

14.65=Tb (solution)-118.1

Tb (solution)=118.1+14.65

=132.75
