Answer:

Ni^2+

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Proton = 28

Electron = 26

Neutron = 34

Next, we shall determine the atomic number of the element.

Atomic number of an element is simply defined as the number of protons in the atom of an element.

Thus,

Atomic number = proton number

Proton = 28

Atomic number = proton number = 28

Atomic number = 28

Therefore, the element is Nickel since no two elements have the same atomic number.

Finally, we shall determine the charge on the Nickel atom as follow:

Proton = 28

Electron = 26

Charge on atom =

Charge on atom = Proton – Electron

Charge on atom = 28 – 26

Charge on atom = +2

Therefore, we can represent the Particle as Ni^2+

Calculate the mass of methane that must be burned to provide enough heat to convert 242.0 g of water at 26.0°C into steam at 101

Anarel [89]

Answer: The mass of methane burned is 12.4 grams.

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of methane follows:

$CH_4(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+2H_2O(g)$

The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:

$\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(1\times \Delta H^o_f_{(CO_2(g))})+(2\times \Delta H^o_f_{(H_2O(g))})]-[(1\times \Delta H^o_f_{(CH_4(g))})+(2\times \Delta H^o_f_{(O_2(g))})]$

We are given:

$\Delta H^o_f_{(H_2O(g))}=-241.82kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(CO_2(g))}=-393.51kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(CH_4(g))}=-74.81kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{O_2}=0kJ/mol$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(1\times (-393.51))+(2\times (-241.82))]-[(1\times (-74.81))+(2\times (0))]\\\\\Delta H^o_{rxn}=-802.34kJ$

The heat calculated above is the heat released for 1 mole of methane.

The process involved in this problem are:

$(1):H_2O(l)(26^oC)\rightarrow H_2O(l)(100^oC)\\\\(2):H_2O(l)(100^oC)\rightarrow H_2O(g)(100^oC)\\\\(3):H_2O(g)(100^oC)\rightarrow H_2O(g)(101^oC)$

Now, we calculate the amount of heat released or absorbed in all the processes.

For process 1:

$q_1=mC_p,l\times (T_2-T_1)$

where,

$q_1$ = amount of heat absorbed = ?

m = mass of water = 242.0 g

$C_{p,l}$ = specific heat of water = 4.18 J/g°C

$T_2$ = final temperature = $100^oC$

$T_1$ = initial temperature = $26^oC$

Putting all the values in above equation, we get:

$q_1=242.0g\times 4.18J/g^oC\times (100-(26))^oC=74855.44J$

For process 2:

$q_2=m\times L_v$

where,

$q_2$ = amount of heat absorbed = ?

m = mass of water or steam = 242 g

$L_v$ = latent heat of vaporization = 2257 J/g

Putting all the values in above equation, we get:

$q_2=242g\times 2257J/g=546194J$

For process 3:

$q_3=mC_p,g\times (T_2-T_1)$

where,

$q_3$ = amount of heat absorbed = ?

m = mass of steam = 242.0 g

$C_{p,g}$ = specific heat of steam = 2.08 J/g°C

$T_2$ = final temperature = $101^oC$

$T_1$ = initial temperature = $100^oC$

Putting all the values in above equation, we get:

$q_3=242.0g\times 2.08J/g^oC\times (101-(100))^oC=503.36J$

Total heat required = $q_1+q_2+q_3=(74855.44+546194+503.36)=621552.8J=621.552kJ$

To calculate the number of moles of methane, we apply unitary method:

When 802.34 kJ of heat is needed, the amount of methane combusted is 1 mole

So, when 621.552 kJ of heat is needed, the amount of methane combusted will be = $\frac{1}{802.34}\times 621.552=0.775mol$

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Molar mass of methane = 16 g/mol

Moles of methane = 0.775 moles

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.775mol=\frac{\text{Mass of methane}}{16g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of methane}=(0.775mol\times 16g/mol)=12.4g$

Hence, the mass of methane burned is 12.4 grams.

What properties of a substance effect how substances in a mixture separate

IrinaVladis [17]

Mixture is a material made up of two or more different substances which are mixed. A mixture refers to the physical combination of two or more substances in which the identities are retained and are mixed in the form of solutions, suspensionsand colloids.[1][2]

Mixtures are one product of mechanically blending or mixing chemical substances such as elements and compounds, without chemical bonding or other chemical change, so that each ingredient substance retains its own chemical properties and makeup.[3]Despite that there are no chemical changes to its constituents, the physical properties of a mixture, such as its melting point, may differ from those of the components. Some mixtures can be separated into their components by using physical (mechanical or thermal) means. Azeotropes are one kind of mixture that usually pose considerable difficulties regarding the separation processes required to obtain their constituents (physical or chemical processes
