Answer:

Methane

Explanation:

If you lived in Alaska, the natural gas that you would be able to keep in an outdoor storage tank in winter would be methane. The melting point of methane is -183ºC, while the boiling point is -164ºC. These temperatures are much lower than the average temperatures of Alaska (the lowest temperature ever recorded in Anchorage was −38.9 °C).

Answer:

Methane

Explanation:

The gas that you could keep in an outdoor storage tank in winter in Alaska is Methane.

The reason is the extreme low temperature during the winter. The boiling point of butane is 44 ºF ( -1ºC) and that of propane is a higher -43.6 º F but still within the range of average minimum winter temperature in Alaska (-50 ªF). Therefore we will have condensation in the tanks and not enough gas pressure.

Methane having  a boling point  of  -259 ºF will not condense at the low wintertime temperatures in Alaska.

If the enthalpy value for a reaction is negative, what does that indicate about the reaction? Please explain how you got your an
Elis [28]

The answer is; D

Enthalpy is the system’s internal energy ( considering the product of its pressure and volume). When the enthalpy is negative, it means that the products have a lower energy level than the reactants - meaning the system has dispensed some energy into the environment.

2. if 0.20 m fe3 had been used instead of 0.020 m fe3 , how would the numerical value of the rate constant and the activation en
dezoksy [38]

the calculated value is Ea is 18.2 KJ and A is 12.27.

According to the exponential part in the Arrhenius equation, a reaction's rate constant rises exponentially as the activation energy falls. The rate also grows exponentially because the rate of a reaction is precisely proportional to its rate constant.

At 500K, K=0.02s−1

At 700K, k=0.07s −1

The Arrhenius equation can be used to calculate Ea and A.

RT=k=Ae Ea

lnk=lnA+(RT−Ea)

At 500 K,

ln0.02=lnA+500R−Ea

500R Ea (1) At 700K lnA=ln (0.02) + 500R

lnA = ln (0.07) + 700REa (2)

Adding (1) to (2)

700REa100R1[5Ea-7Ea] = 0.02) +500REa=0.07) +700REa.

=ln [0.02/0 .07]

Ea= 2/35×100×8.314×1.2528

Ea =18227.6J

Ea =18.2KJ

Changing the value of E an in (1),

lnA=0.02) + 500×8.314/18227.6

= (−3.9120) +4.3848

lnA=0.4728

logA=1.0889

A=antilog (1.0889)

A=12.27

Consequently, Ea is 18.2 KJ and A is 12.27.

A 20.0g sample of metal with a specific heat of 5 J/(g°C) raised it's initial temperature to 40.0 when 500J heat was added. What
slavikrds [6]

The initial temperature of the metal = 35 °C

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Heat can be formulated :

Q = m . c . ΔT

Q = heat, J

c = specific heat, J/g C

ΔT = temperature, °C

m = 20 g

c = 5 J/(g°C)

Q = 500 J

T₁ = 40 C

the initial temperature :

\tt \Delta t(T_2-T_1)=\dfrac{Q}{m.c}\\\\40-T_1=\dfrac{500}{20.5}\\\\40-T_1=5\\\\T_1=35^oC
