Answer: D. A buildup of mostly methane gas, which is pontentially explosive.

Explanation:

Firedamp refers to a gas mixture, largely methane, that appear in underground coal mines.  It is explosive at concentrations between 5 and 10% in the air.

The atoms and molecules in a gas are in constant motion. Temperature is a measure of this motion. How are these related? As temp
Sedaia [141]

Here we have to choose the correct statement on the effect of temperature on the motion of the molecules and atoms of a gas.

As the temperature increases the molecules and atoms move faster.

As per the kinetic theory of gas molecules and atoms the kinetic energy (K.E.) of the atom or molecules is related to temperature by the equation

K.E. = \frac{3}{2}kT ( k = Boltzmann constant, T = temperature.

Thus as the temperature increases the K.E. increases thus the atom or molecules move faster.

With the decrease of temperature the movement of the atoms or molecules will be less and they will be near to each other.

The increment of temperature increase the K.E. thus the atoms or molecules move apart from each other.

With the decrease of temperature the movement of the atoms or molecules decreases.

What is the mass number of a atom that has 4 protons 4electrons 5neutrons
user100 [1]

Answer:

<h3><em>Please make sure to re-write this on your own so your teacher doesn't think that your cheating!</em></h3>

Explanation:

A neutral atom will have the same number of electrons does protons. Since it has 4 protons, it must have an atomic number of 4. (That will make it beryllium.) Since it has 4 protons and 5 neutrons, it has a mass number of 9.

So the answer is 9

Which molecule is most polar? <br> A) CH3CHO<br> B)CO2<br> C)CH3Cl<br> D)C2H6<br> E)NONE
Anit [1.1K]

the answer is none

Explanation:

Water

Water is the most polar molecule because a bond between oxygen and hydrogen has the most difference out of the atoms listed. Although the oxygen has two hydrogens bonded, this does not decrease the electronegativity of oxygen, but oxygen unfairly shares sets of electrons from both hydrogens, making it more polar still

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

A) The mass would be the same.

Explanation:

Since there is no loss of any particle to vapor during the phase change process from solid to liquid, the mass of the before and after the process will remain the same.

  • In this way, the law of conservation of mass is obeyed.
  • Mass is the amount of matter contained in a substance.
  • Since there is no room for escape or matter loss, the mass will remain the same.
