Answer:

CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2O

Explanation:

CH4 + O2 --> CO2 + H2O

The overall aim of balancing any chemical equation is to make sure that the number of moles of atoms (as in this case) in the reactant section equals that in the product phase.

In this problem, we have three atoms; Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen.

Reactant Section;

Number of Carbon = 1

Number of Hydrogen = 4

Number of oxygen = 2

Product Section;

Number of Carbon = 1

Number of Hydrogen = 2

Number of oxygen = 3

The following equations would show increase in the coefficients of the compounds in order to balance the reaction.

CH4 + O2 --> CO2 + 2H2O (2 is added to H20 to make number of H = 4)

Currently,

Reactant Section;

Number of Carbon = 1

Number of Hydrogen = 4

Number of oxygen = 2

Product Section;

Number of Carbon = 1

Number of Hydrogen = 4

Number of  oxygen = 4

We are left with a deficit of two oxygen atoms; This is catered for by adding a 2 in the O2 of the reactanct section.

CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2O

Reactant Section;

Number of Carbon = 1

Number of Hydrogen = 4

Number of oxygen = 4

Product Section;

Number of Carbon = 1

Number of Hydrogen = 4

Number of oxygen = 4

With this, the equation is now balanced.

Describe States of matter​
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Sample 1 = liquid

Sample 2 = solid

Sample 3 = gas

Explanation:

Properties of gases:

Molecule of gases randomly move everywhere and occupy all available space.

Gases don't have definite volume and shape and take the shape and volume of container in which it present.

Their densities are very low as compared to the liquid and solids.

Gas molecules are at long distance from each other therefore by applying pressure gases can be compressed.

The very weak inter molecular forces are present between gas molecules.

Properties of Liquid:

Liquid have definite volume but don,t have definite shape.

Their densities are high as compared to the gases but low as compared to the solids.

In liquid, molecules are close to each other and have greater inter molecular forces as compared to the gas molecules.

Properties of solids:

Solids have definite volume and shape.

In solids molecules are tightly pack and very close to each other.

Their melting and boiling point are every high.

The densities of solids are also very high as compared to the liquid and gas.

There are very strong inter molecular forces are present between solid molecules.

Using the following general equation for a nuclear reaction, complete the statements below.
sammy [17]
Atomic number is written in subscript:
Uranium atomic number =92

Mass of neutron is the superscript value times the quantity (moles):
3*1= 3

Atomic mass is approximately equivalent to the number of protons and neutrons in the atom (the mass number). It's written in superscript:

Kr=92

No. of neutrons = Mass number (in superscript) - Atomic number ( in subscript)

= 141-56= 85

No. of neutrons in reactants are: 3
