Answer:

Hydrogen

Explanation:

Balloons are filled with light gases in order to make them float. Helium and Hydrogen are both light gases.

Helium is quite a lot lighter than air: it's about an eighth of the density of air. Hydrogen is about a sixteenth the density of air, so it'll float in air and will in fact float upwards.

Hydrogen however is twice as heavy as helium, but that doesn't mean the amount of lift off of the balloon is twice as much. The amount of lift is determined by the difference in density with respect to air.

Hydrogen is calculated to be less dense than helium, that explains why hydrogen filled balloons would go up higher.

Helium filled balloons are used because of the safety implications. The problem is that hydrogen is explosive may have some health and safety implications! Helium is much more safe to use.

How many moles of methane (CH4) could be made from 4.6 moles of hydrogen?
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Number of moles of methane form = 2.3 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of Hydrogen = 4.6 mol

Number of moles of methane form = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

C + 2H₂     →   CH₄

Now we will compare the moles of methane with hydrogen from balance chemical equation.

                     H₂              :           CH₄

                       2              :             1

                     4.6             :            1/2×4.6 = 2.3 mol  

Form 3.6 moles of hydrogen 2.3 moles of methane can be formed.

What should a simplified model of a large molecule like glucose show?
maxonik [38]

Glucose is the simplest sugar and carbohydrate that provides energy. The simplified model of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) shows carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms linked together.

<h3>What is glucose?</h3>

Glucose is an example of a carbohydrate macromolecule that is further classified as a monosaccharide. They are crystalline and fundamental units of carbohydrates.

The molecular formula of glucose is C₆H₁₂O₆ and the mass is 180.156 g/mol. It is an aldohexose that contains an aldehydic functional group. In its structure, there are six oxygen atoms, six carbon atoms, and twelve hydrogen atoms.

Therefore, the glucose molecule is composed of C, H, and O.

The equation represents the combustion of sucrose. C12H22O11 + 12O2 12CO2 + 11H2O If there are 10.0 g of sucrose and 8.0 g of ox
Vaselesa [24]
<span>0.0292 moles of sucrose are available. First, lookup the atomic weights of all involved elements Atomic weight Carbon = 12.0107 Atomic weight Hydrogen = 1.00794 Atomic weight Oxygen = 15.999 Now calculate the molar mass of sucrose 12 * 12.0107 + 22 * 1.00794 + 11 * 15.999 = 342.29208 g/mol Divide the mass of sucrose by its molar mass 10.0 g / 342.29208 g/mol = 0.029214816 mol Finally, round the result to 3 significant figures, giving 0.0292 moles</span>
