Answer:

1.78 years

Explanation:

First half life is the time at which the concentration of the reactant reduced to half.

Second half reaction is the time at which the remaining concentration reduced to half or the initial concentration reduced to 1/4.

Third half life is the time at which the remaining concentration reduced to half or the initial concentration reduced to 1/8.

Fourth half life is the time at which the remaining concentration reduced to half or the initial concentration reduced to 1/16.

There are four half lives. So, time has passed = 4*162.7 days = 650.8 days = 1.78 years

How much heat is released when 24.8 g of ch4 is burned in excess oxygen gas?
balu736 [363]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:

How much heat is produced when 24.8 g of CH_4 is burned in excess oxygen gas

Given: CH _4&#10;+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O  ΔH= −802 kJ.

Answer: 1243.1 kJ

Explanation:

Heat of combustion is the amount of heat released on complete combustion of 1 mole of substance.

Given :

Amount of heat released on combustion of  1 mole of methane = 802 kJ kJ/mol

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at NTP, weighs equal to the molecular mass and contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

1 mole of CH_4 weighs = 16 g  

Thus we can say:  

16 g of CH_4 on combustion releases heat = 802 kJ

Thus 24.8 g of CH_4 on combustion releases =\frac{802}{16}\times 24.8=1243.1kJ

Thus heat released when 24.8 g of methane is burned in excess oxygen gas is 1243.1 kJ

As you move from left to right across a period, what happens to the atomic radil?
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

Moving Across a Period

Moving from left to right across a period, the atomic radius decreases. The nucleus of the atom gains protons moving from left to right, increasing the positive charge of the nucleus and increasing the attractive force of the nucleus upon the electrons

Water has a higher boiling point than expected because
Nadya [2.5K]
Evaporation occurs when water molecules on the surface gain enough energy to enter the atmosphere. However, stronger intermolecular forces between water molecules cause them to be strongly attracted to each other and to tend to stay in the liquid phase. When the temperature is raised (when heat is applied), more molecules gain the energy needed to escape these intermolecular forces and go into the vapor phase.
Therefore the best answer is D.
