This is because... Oxygen has a valency of -2. When the elements react, their switch their valencies. The valency of copper goes to oxygen. And oxygen goes to Cu

Determine the volume of methane (ch 4 ) gas needed to react completely with 0.660 l of o 2 gas to form methanol (ch 3 oh).
Sloan [31]
Balance Chemical Equation for this reaction is,

                           2 CH₄  +  O₂   →   2CH₃OH

According to this eq, 22.4 L (1 moles) of Oxygen requires 44.8 L (2 mole) CH₄ for complete reaction.
So, the volume of CH₄ required to consume 0.66 L of O₂ is calculated as,

 22.4 L O₂ required to consume  =  44.8 L CH₄
0.660 L O₂ will require                =  X L of CH₄

Solving for X,
                                                X  =  (44.8 L × 0.660 L) ÷ 22.4 L

                                                X  =  1.320 L of CH₄

Result:
            1.320 L of CH

Why did bohrs observations of gaseous elements not reveal a complete spectrum when the light was shone through a prism? explain
Vika [28.1K]
The Bohr model proposed that electrons could just have characterized vitality levels thus when rotting back to a lower vitality level discharge a specific measure of vitality. Since the measure of vitality could be changed over to a specific recurrence then particular emanation lines were found in the electromagnetic range. Alternate speculations couldn't clarify the discharge lines.

Anika [276]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The chemical reaction between magnesium metal and hydrochloric acid solution is not an acid - base reaction.

An acid - base reaction involves an acid and base to produce salt and water.

  • This reaction is called a neutralization reaction.
  • An acid is a substance that produces excess hydroxonium ions in solutions.
  • A base produces excess hydroxyl ions in solution.
  • When acids and base combines, the main product is a salt in water solution.
