What mass of oxygen is needed for the complete combustion of 4.60×10−3g of methane?

1 answer:

7 0

First step in answering the question is to establish a balanced chemical reaction equation. More specifically, a combustion chemical equation.

CH4 + 2O2 ---> CO2 + 2H20

Then using dimension analysis:

$4.60*10^{-3} g CH4 ( \frac{moleCH4}{16 g CH4}) * ( \frac{2mole O2}{mole CH4}) * ( \frac{32 g O2}{mole O2} ) = 0.0184 g O_{2}$

Which is the smallest particle into which water (H2O) in a glass can be broken down and still remain water? A. a water molecule

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:-

A. A water molecule

Explanation:-

A molecule is the smallest particle of a compound that retains all it's chemical properties.

Here H2O is a compound. So the smallest particle that will retain all the chemical properties and still remain water is water molecule.

Atoms Hydrogen and Oxygen both have different chemical properties from water H2O and are thus different.

Hydrogen peroxide is different molecule from water. So it is also not water.
