To solve this we assume that the gas inside is an ideal gas. Then, we can use the ideal gas equation which is expressed as PV = nRT. At a constant pressure and number of moles of the gas the ratio T/V is equal to some constant. At another set of condition of temperature, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as follows:

 

T1 / V1 = T2 / V2

 

T2 = T1 x V2 / V1

 

T2 = 280 x 20.0 / 10

Answer is: new temperature is A. 140 K.

V₁(gas) = 20.0 L; initial volume.

T₁(gas) = 280 K.; initial temperature

V₂(gas) = 10.0 L; final volume

T₂(gas) = ?; final temperature.

Charle's Law (the Temperature-Volume Law): the volume of a given amount of gas held at constant pressure is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature:

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂.

20.0 L/ 280 K = 10.0 L /  T₂.

T₂ = 140 K.

As the volume goes down, the temperature also goes down, and vice-versa.

the bunsen burners in your labs are fueled by natural gas which is mostly methane. the thermochemical equation for the combustio
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

CH₄ + 2O₂ —> CO₂ + 2H₂O

Explanation:

The thermochemical equation for the combustion of methane can be obtained as follow:

Methane (CH₄) under goes combustion in the presence of air (O₂) to produce carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O). This can be represented in the equation below:

CH₄ + O₂ —> CO₂ + H₂O

Thus, we can balance the equation as follow:

CH₄ + O₂ —> CO₂ + H₂O

There are 4 atoms of H on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of H₂O as shown below:

CH₄ + O₂ —> CO₂ + 2H₂O

There are a total of 4 atoms of O on the right side and 1 atom on the left side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of O₂ as shown below:

CH₄ + 2O₂ —> CO₂ + 2H₂O

Now the equation is balanced.
