In a study of the conversion of methane to other fuels, a chemical engineer mixes gaseous CH4 and H2O in a 0.32-L flask at 1200

K. At equilibrium the flask contains 0.26 mol of CO, 0.091 mol of H2, and 0.041 mol of CH4. What is the [H2O] at equilibrium

Answer: The [H_{2}O] at equilibrium is 0.561 M.

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

    Volume of flask = 0.32 L,

 No. of moles of CH_{4} = 0.041 mol,

 No, of moles of CO = 0.26 mol,  No. of moles of H_{2} = 0.091 mol

 Equilibrium constant, K = 0.26

Balanced chemical equation for this reaction is as follows.

     CH_{4}(g) + H_{2}O(g) \rightleftharpoons CO(g) + 3H_{2}(g)

Hence,

              K = \frac{[CO][H_{2}]^{3}}{[CH_{4}][H_{2}O]} ...... (1)

First, we will calculate the molarity or concentration of given species as follows.

CH_{4} = \frac{0.041}{0.32} = 0.128 M,

CO = \frac{0.26}{0.32} = 0.8125 M,

H_{2} = \frac{0.091}{0.32} = 0.284 M

Therefore, using expression (1) we will calculate the [H_{2}O] as follows.

     K = \frac{[CO][H_{2}]^{3}}{[CH_{4}][H_{2}O]}

or,    [H_{2}O] = \frac{[CO][H_{2}]^{3}}{[CH_{4}] \times K}

             = \frac{0.8125 \times (0.284)^{3}}{0.128 \times 0.26}

             = \frac{0.0187}{0.0333}

             = 0.561 M

Thus, we can conclude that the [H_{2}O] at equilibrium is 0.561 M.

bixtya [17]

The key enzyme in the regulation of the citric acid cycle is citrate synthase. It functions in the mitochondria.

<h3>Citrate synthase and cellular respiration </h3>

Cellular respiration is a series of reactions that produce ATP by using the energy stores in the chemical bonds of foods.

Cellular respiration is divided into glycolysis, the citric-acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation.

Citrate synthase is an enzyme found in the mitochondrial matrix, which is involved in the citric acid cycle.

Which factor most likely facilitates mass movement after heavy rains in a dry region?
melomori [17]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The process in which sediment moves downhill is known as mass movement.

Different types of mass movement are landslides, mud slides, slump, creep etc.

Mud flow contains mass of saturated rock particles of all sizes. Mud flow arises due to sudden flood of water or due to heavy rain in a dry region (semi-arid region). Soil and rocks from a large slope area flow along with the flood water and gets washed to a gulch or canyon.

As a result, debris and water moves down canyon and lay out on the gentle slopes below.

Thus, we can conclude that mud flow is most likely facilitates mass movement after heavy rains in a dry region.

Elements donate 2 electron to produce a cation with a 2+ charge
hammer [34]

Answer: alkaline earth metals (group-IIA)

Explanation:

The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element and forms a positively charged ion called as cation. The element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element and forms a negatively charged ion called as anion.

Alkaline earth metals donate 2 valence electrons to acquire noble gas configuration.

For example: Berrylium is the first alkaline earth metal with atomic number of 4 and thus has 4 electrons

Electronic configuration of berrylium:

[Be]:4:1s^22s^2

Berrylium atom will loose two electrons to gain noble gas configuration and form berrylium cation with +2 charge.

[Be^{2+}]:2:1s^2

Thus Elements donate 2 electron to produce a cation with a 2+ charge are alkaline earth metals.
