Answer:

slippery, high pH, and caustic (last option)

Explanation:

when we say base we should think soap. soap is slippery. Bases give OH- ion. when OH- is combined with H+ ion it will create water which raises the pH. Since base can dissolve fats, ex: using dish liquid to cut grease on pots and pans etc.. they are caustic. Biologically they can disrupt the cell memebrane making it caustic to cell tissue.

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

What the difference between a sodium atom (Na) and a sodium ion (Nal+)

vichka [17]

Answer:

So a sodium atom has the electronic configuration 2,8,1 meaning it has 1 electron on its outer shell. It has a neutral charge since the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.

A sodium ion is one that has lost the electron on its valence shell. The electronic configuration is 2,8 and it has a positive charge because it has more protons than electrons.
