What mass of natural gas (CH4) must you burn to emit 264 kJ of heat?

1 answer:

7 0

The heat released by cpmolete the combustion of organic products with oxygen is called heat of combustion.

Here 1 mol of CH4 realesed 802.3 KJ

To emit 264 kJ you multiply you need (1 mol of CH4/802.3 kJ)* 264 kJ = 0.329 mol of CH4

The molar mass, MM, of CH4 is 12 g/mol + 4*1g/mol = 16 g/mol

The to obtain the mass multiply the number of moles times the molar mass:

mass = n * MM = 0.329mol * 16g/mol = 5.26 grams

Answer: 5.26 grams

Can someone help me understand what 1b is asking and how to answer it?

icang [17]

The question is basically asking what is happening to the energy (that is in the form of heat) when it is being absorbed by an object. The energy being absorbed from the heat source is being turned into kinetic energy. This can be explained by temperature change. As you add more heat to an object, the temperature rises. Since temperature is the average kinetic energy of all of the molecules in an object, we can say that as temperature rises so does the kinetic energy of the molecules in the object. Due to the fact that heat is causing the temperature to increase, we can say that the energy from the heat is being turned into kinetic energy.

I hope this helps. Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.

Sophie [7]

Answer:

As you used two diferent instruments, one is more sensitive than the other.

Explanation:

The sensitivity of an instrument is the minimum amount of magnitude that can be differentiate a measurement system.

In method A, you got 27 cm, so if in method B, you got 27.00, method B is more sensitive. It's like saying that one system measures more than the other

Write the action of monohydroxy benzene with aqueous bromine

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

The reaction yields the product compound 2,4,5-tribromophenol.

<h3>Bromination of monohydroxy benzene</h3>

Bromination is an organic reaction in which aqueous bromine is made to react with another compound so as to introduce bromine into the molecule.

When we carry out the bromination of monohydroxy benzene, we obtain the compound 2,4,5-tribromophenol.

Select the correct answer. When an atom in a reactant loses electrons, what happens to its oxidation number? A. Its oxidation nu

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

C. Its oxidation number increases.

Explanation:

<em><u>Oxidation is defined as the loss of electrons by an atom while reduction is the gain of electrons by an atom</u></em>.
Atoms of elements have an oxidation number of Zero in their elemental state.
When an atom looses electrons it undergoes oxidation and its oxidation number increases.
For example, <em><u>an atom of sodium (Na) at its elemental state has an oxidation number of 0. When the sodium atom looses an electrons it becomes a cation, Na+, with an oxidation number of +1 , the loss of electron shows an increase in oxidation number from 0 to +1.</u></em>
