Water's high heat capacity<span> is a property caused by hydrogen bonding among </span>water<span> molecules. When </span>heat<span> is absorbed, hydrogen bonds are broken and </span>water <span>molecules </span>can<span> move freely. When the temperature of </span>water decreases, the hydrogen bonds are formed and release a considerable amount of energy.
<span>Water's heat of vaporization is around 540 cal/g at </span>100 °C<span>, water's boiling point.

Equation: CH4 + 202 CO2 + 2H20
jeka94

Answer:

2:1

1.2 × 10² g

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced combustion equation

CH₄ + 2 O₂ ⇒ CO₂ + 2 H₂O

Step 2: Establish the appropriate molar ratio

According to the balanced equation, the molar ratio of O₂ to CH₄ is 2:1.

Step 3: Calculate the moles of CH₄ required to react with 15 moles of O₂

We will use the previously established molar ratio.

15 mol O₂   1 mol CH₄/2 mol O₂ = 7.5 mol CH₄

Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 7.5 moles of CH₄

The molar mass of CH₄ is 16.04 g/mol.

7.5 mol × 16.04 g/mol = 1.2 × 10² g

Choose the BEST answer from the four options A, B, C, or D: Due to which property of LPG are we asked to close the valve of the
Mama L [17]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

We are usually asked to close the valve of the gas cylinder in our various kitchens at home <u>due to the inflammable property of the Liquified Petroleum Gas.</u>

<em>Without closing the valve, the LPG would diffuse into our homes, and any form of spark would cause an explosion and lead to a fire. Lives and properties could be lost in the process.</em>

The correct option is A.

A geochemist in the field takes a small sample of the crystals of mineral compound X from a rock pool lined with more crystals o
dedylja [7]

Answer:

1. <u>No, you cannot calculate the solubility of X in water at 26ºC.</u>

Explanation:

You cannot calculate the solubility of X in <em>water at 26 degrees Celsius </em>because you do not know whether the solution formed by dissolving the crystals in 3.00 liters of water is saturaed or not.

The only way to determine the solubility of the compound X is by dissolving the crystals in certain (measured) amount of water and making sure that some crystals remain undissolved, as a solid on the bottom of the beaker.

Next, you should filter the solution to remove the undissolved crystals. Then, weigh the solution, evaporate, wash, dry, and weigh the crystals.

Then you have the mass of the crystals dissolved and the mass of the solution which will let you calculate the mass of pure water, and then the solubility.
