The answer for the following problem is mentioned below.

Therefore volume occupied by methane gas is 184.78 × 10^-3 liters

Explanation:

Given:

mass of methane( $CH_{4}$ ) = 272 grams

pressure (P) = 250 k Pa =250×10^3 Pa

temperature(t) = 54°C =54 + 273 = 327 K

Also given:

R = 8.31JK-1 mol-1 ,

Molar mass of methane( $CH_{4}$ ) = 16.0 grams

We know;

According to the ideal gas equation,

P × V = n × R × T

here,

n = m÷M

n =272 ÷ 16

n = 17 moles

Therefore,

250×10^3 × V = 17 × 8.31 × 327

V = ( 17 × 8.31 × 327 ) ÷ ( 250×10^3 )

V = 184.78 × 10^-3 liters

Therefore volume occupied by methane gas is 184.78 × 10^-3 liters

For a single substance at atmospheric pressure, classify the following as describing a spontaneous process, a nonspontaneous pro

Maslowich

Answer and Explanation:

a. Solid melting below its melting point ⇒ Nonspontaneous

The process is spontaneous above the melting point.

b. Gas condensing below its condensation point ⇒ Spontaneous

Below the condensation point, the subtance is liquid (it condenses)

c. Liquid vaporizing above its boiling point ⇒ Spontaneous

A liquid vaporizes at a temperature above the boiling point, it passes from liquido to the gas state

d. Liquid freezing below its freezing point ⇒ Spontaneous

A liquid freezes at a temperature below its freezeing point, it passes from the liquid to the solid state.

e. Liquid freezing above its freezing point ⇒ Nonspontaneous

The freezing is spontaneous below the freezing point.

f. Solid melting above its melting point ⇒ Spontaneous

A solid melts at a temperature above the melting point

g. Liquid and gas together at boiling point with no net condensation or vaporization ⇒ Equilibrium system

The systems is at equilibrium: there is no net change toward the liquid or towards the gas state.

h. Gas condensing above its condensation point ⇒ Nonspontaneous

The condensation is spontaneous at a temperature below the condensation point.

i. Solid and liquid together at the melting point with no net freezing or melting ⇒ Equilibrium system

The system is at equilibrium: there is no net change towards the solid or the liquid state.

• An element in group 2, period 4 has similar properties with

babymother [125]

Answer: Elements in Group 2

Explanation: The periodic table was arranged by Dmitri Mendeleev specifically around similarites in their chemical behaviors. He found that as atomic number increases, at some point an element starts to react in a manner similar to a previous one. When that happened, he would place the larger element under the smaller one, and eventually noticed a periodicity in the table. Elements in a column (Groups) had similiar chemical properties. We know today that these similarities are due to the electron configuration, and that these configurations repeat themselves. He left gaps in the table when he could find an existing element with properties similar to others in that group. I big leap of faith, but it worked. Elements for those missing boxes were eventually discovered.

faust18 [17]

Answer:

the carbon atoms in the double bond cannot rotate

Explanation:

Isomers refer to molecules that have a distinct arrangement of the atoms in the molecule but have the same molecular formula.

Alkenes refer to a series of unsaturated hydrocarbons that contain ethylene and propylene.

Some alkenes have geometric (cis-trans) isomers because the carbon atoms in the double bond cannot rotate.

The Texas high plains region does not revive much rain. It is reasonable to predict that this region, compared to other ecoregio

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Less soil erosion

Explanation:

Due to the low amount of rainfall in this region, it is easier to say that the region compared to other ecoregion will suffer less soil erosion.

Erosion is usually the washing away of the top layer of the soil. Rainfall is one of the most important element that causes erosion. Surface runoff for an extended period of time can remove the topmost layer of the earth on which plant can grow. This starves the soil of its rich nutrients and minerals.

Natasha2012 [34]

The balanced nuclear equation for the reaction is

From the question given above, we were told that:

A fast-moving neutron strikes a ²³⁵U nucleus. The nucleus shatters producing ¹⁵⁵Sm, ⁷⁸Zn, and three neutrons.

The nuclear equation can be written as follow:

Neutron => ¹₀n

Uranium => ²³⁵₉₂U

Samarium => ¹⁵⁵₆₂Sm

Zinc => ⁷⁸₃₀Zn

Uranium + neutron —> Samarium + Zinc + 3 moles of neutron

The nuclear equation above is balanced.
