These are called subscript number.

That is the number below the normal line of test are called subscript number.

This number indicate the indicate the number of atoms of the element present in the chemical formula.

In both of these C₆H₁₂O₆ and H₂O, the number written below the line of the text are called subscript numbers.

How much heat is needed warm 65.34 g of water from 18.43 to 21.75

BaLLatris [955]

Given that

Mass of water = 65.34 g

Amount of heat = mass of water * specific heat (temperature change

)

= 65.34 g * 4.184 J / g-C ( 21.75-18.43 )C

= 907.63 J

= 0.908 KJ

And

1 cal = 4.186798 J

907.63 J * 1 cal / 4.186798 J =216.78 cal

Or0.218 kcal

When methane ( CH4 ) burns, it reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water. The unbalanced equation for this reac

slega [8]

<h2>Answer:</h2> $1.33*10^{-2}grams$

<h2>Explanations</h2>

The complete balanced equation for the given reaction is expressed as;

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

Given the following parameters

Mass of CH4 = 5.90×10^−3 g = 0.0059grams

Determine the moles of methane

$\begin{gathered} moles\text{ of CH}_4=\frac{mass}{molar\text{ mass}} \\ moles\text{ of CH}_4=\frac{0.0059}{16.04} \\ moles\text{ of CH}_4=0.000368moles \end{gathered}$

According to stoichimetry, 1 mole of methane produces 2 moles of water, hence the moles of water required will be:

$\begin{gathered} moles\text{ of H}_2O=\frac{2}{1}\times0.000368 \\ moles\text{ of H}_2O=0.000736moles \end{gathered}$

Determine the mass of water produced

$\begin{gathered} Mass\text{ of H}_2O=moles\times molar\text{ mass} \\ Mass\text{ of H}_2O=0.000736\times18.02 \\ Mass\text{ of H}_2O=0.0133grams=1.33\times10^{-2}grams \end{gathered}$

Therefore the mass of water produced from the complete combustion of 5.90×10−3 g of methane is 1.33 * 10^-2grams

Why is it important for the pH of blood to remain constant?

lesya692 [45]

It is important for the pH of blood to remain constant because your blood would ionize and burn up if the pH wasn't constant. And if the pH was too high, bacteria ( good and bad, and foreign) would end up dying, as well as yourself.

Phosphoric acid, which is commonly used as rust inhibitor, food additive and etching agent for dental and orthopedic use, can be

lana66690 [7]

Answer: $P_4(l)+5O_2(g)+3H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2H_3PO_4(l)$

Explanation:

We are given two reactions which are the two steps of a mechanism:

$P_4(l)+5O_2(g)\rightarrow 2P_2O_5(g)$ ......(1)

$P_2O_5(g)+3H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2H_3PO_4(l)$ .......(2)

To determine the net chemical equation, we will multiply equation 2

$P_2O_5(g)+3H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2H_3PO_4(l)\times 2$

$2P_2O_5(g)+6H_2O(l)\rightarrow 4H_3PO_4(l)$ .......(3)

Adding (1) and (3)

$P_4(l)+5O_2(g)+3H_2O(l)\rightarrow 4H_3PO_4(l)$

Thus, the net balanced chemical equation is:

$P_4(l)+5O_2(g)+3H_2O(l)\rightarrow 4H_3PO_4(l)$

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer: = C

Explanation:

evaporating some of the water contained in the solution will increase the concentration of the resulting solution, because there will be concomitant increase in the number of moles of the solute left in the solution.
