The chemical equation is:
CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

First, we calculate the moles of methane present using:
Moles = mass / molecular mass
Moles = 20 / 16
Moles = 1.25

Next, we may observe from the chemical equation that the molar ratio between methane and oxygen is 1 : 2
So the moles of oxygen required are 2 x 1.25
2.5 moles of oxygen required

Mass = moles * molecular mass
Mass = 2.5 * 32
Moles = 80

C. 80 grams O₂

Study the graph about oxygen content of Earth’s atmosphere. Oxygen Content of Earth apostrophe s Atmosphere line graph. X axis i
Anika [276]

Explanation:

from the graph study about oxygen content of Earth's atmosphere, we can understand that  

1)

4 billions year ago = None, 3 billions year ago = Cyanobacteria and Archaea , 2 and 1 billions year ago = Bacteria and Green algae , 500 Ma = invertebrate fossils started to existence. Early land plants came in to existence around 398 MA that is Devonian. Dinosaurs are came in to existence during Triassic and Jurassic that is around 251 Ma. Man and animals are recent organism came under Holocene that is 11000 years ago.

2)

The first cells on the earth are anaerobic microorganisms, as the CO2 level is too high they survive by using CO2.

3)

Starting around 2.7 billion years ago, photosynthesis by Cyanobacteria and later plants , pumped “OXYGEN” in to the atmosphere. This caused the decline of anaerobic bacteria and allows the diversification of animals as seen in “CAMBRIAN” around 500 millions year ago.  

Early vascular plants “CAPTURED” CO2 starting before the Carboniferous period that began around 350 millions year.Leading to lower temperatures and allowing and allowing the seed plants to outcompetes seedless plants.

Modern human activities has raised both “CO2 and METHANE” level in the atmosphere to over leading to higher temperature and extinction of other species.

In a Lewis structure, why must pairs of unshared of lone pairs if dots be placed around the outside of some of the atoms
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

In a Lewis symbol, the symbol for the element is used to represent the atom and its core electrons. Dots placed around the atom are used to indicate the valence electrons. ... In 1916, Gilbert Newton Lewis, an American chemist, suggested that molecules were formed when atoms shared pairs of outer electrons.

Predict the geometry around the central atom in SO2- A) trigonal pyramidal B) tetrahedral C) octahedral D) trigonal planar E) tr
liubo4ka [24]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the hybridization of SO_2, we use the equation:

\text{Number of electron pair}=\frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]

where,

V = number of valence electrons present in central atom  (S) = 6

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom  = 0

C = charge of cation  = 0

A = charge of anion = 0

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Number of electron pair}=\frac{1}{2}[6]=3

The number of electron pair around the central metal atom are 3. This means that the hybridization will be sp^2 and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be trigonal planar.

Hence, the correct answer is Option D.

6. According to Crystal Field Theory, what should be the color of an aqueous solution of the ion [Y(H2O)6]3
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Colourless

Explanation:

We know that Y^3+ has the electronic configuration of;

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 (the 5s and 4d levels are empty).

According to the crystal field theory, the colour of complexes result from transitions between incompletely filled d orbitals.

As a result of this, complexes with empty or completely filled d orbitals are colourless. Thus,  [Y(H2O)6]3 is colourless according to the Crystal Field Theory.
