Answer:
-800 kJ/mol
Explanation:
To solve the problem, we have to express the enthalpy of combustion (ΔHc) in kJ per mole (kJ/mol).
First, we have to calculate the moles of methane (CH₄) there are in 2.50 g of substance. For this, we divide the mass into the molecular weight Mw) of CH₄:
Mw(CH₄) = 12 g/mol C + (1 g/mol H x 4) = 16 g/mol
moles CH₄ = mass CH₄/Mw(CH₄)= 2.50 g/(16 g/mol) = 0.15625 mol CH₄
Now, we divide the heat released into the moles of CH₄ to obtain the enthalpy per mole of CH₄:
ΔHc = heat/mol CH₄ = 125 kJ/(0.15625 mol) = 800 kJ/mol
Therefore, the enthalpy of combustion of methane is -800 kJ/mol (the minus sign indicated that the heat is released).
A scientist needs to check several parameters before coming
to a conclusion about the amount of water pollution. The scientists needs to
check the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water, temperature of the water,
the clarity of the water, the PH level of the water and also the amount of
bacteria present in the water. There may be other criteria’s, but the mentioned
ones are enough to gauge the amount of pollution in the water. Scientists often
takes fish and aquatic plants from the water to be tested to check the amount
of pollution indirectly affecting these species.
One mole of copper equals 6.02 × 10^23 atoms. The answer is letter C. This follows the
Avogaro’s law wherein 1 mole of a substance is equal to 6.02 x 10^23 atoms,
formula units or molecules. This is applicable to all substances.
Sister chromatids are two identical copies of a single chromosome that are connected by a centromere. They occur as a result of a chromosome that duplicated during the S phase of the cell cycle.
