Answer:

\huge \boxed{\mathrm{CH_4+ 2O_2 \Rightarrow CO_2 +2 H_2O}}

\rule[225]{225}{2}

Explanation:

\sf CH_4+ O_2 \Rightarrow CO_2 + H_2O

Balancing the Hydrogen atoms on the right side,

\sf CH_4+ O_2 \Rightarrow CO_2 +2 H_2O

Balancing the Oxygen atoms on the left side,

\sf CH_4+ 2O_2 \Rightarrow CO_2 +2 H_2O

\rule[225]{225}{2}

CH4+O2  =  CO2+2H2O

C-1               C-1    

O-2              O-4

H-4               H-4

CH4+<u><em>2 </em></u>O2  =  CO2+2 H2O

C-1               C-1    

O-2-4           O-4

H-4               H-4

You add a 2 in front of the O2 on the reactant side so the Oxygen can balance on the Product side

A 2.5 L flask is filled with 0.25 atm SO3, 0.20 atm SO2, and 0.40 atm O2, and allowed to reach equilibrium. Assume at the temper
Anit [1.1K]

Explanation:

Reaction equation for the given chemical reaction is as follows.

      2SO_{3} \rightleftharpoons 2SO_{2} + O_{2}

Equation for reaction quotient is as follows.

         Q = \frac{P^{2}_{SO_{2}} \times P_{O_{2}}}{P^{2}_{SO_{3}}}

             = \frac{(0.20)^{2} \times 0.40}{(0.25)^{2}}

             = 0.256

As, Q > K (= 0.12)

The effect on the partial pressure of SO_{3} as equilibrium is achieved by using Q, is as follows.

  • This means that there are too much products.
  • Equilibrium will shift to the left towards reactants.
  • More SO_{3} is formed.
  • Partial pressure of SO_{3} increases.

What type of rock would be formed in this plant-rich swamp?
adell [148]
We are asked to identify what type of rock would be formed in a plant-rich swamp. We all know that plant dies and the remain leaves in the soil called peat. Temperature, pressure and heat causes the remains to submerged under the soil bed layer and converts it into a waxy substance called kerogen. Kerogen then mixes with the rock under the soil bed layer to create what is called an oil shale. Oil shale is somehow similar to a coal. Both creates an energy when ignited. Therefore the correct answer to the question being asked is COAL or Oil Shale.
