Answer: True

Explanation: Specific Gravity of a body, also called its Relative Density, is the ratio of the density of that body to the density of a reference material (usually water).

With the Mathematics done right, it is evident that the specific gravity of a body would be equal to the ratio of mass/weight of the body to the mass/weight of an equal volume of water.

S.G = (Density of body)/(Density of water)

Density of Body = (mass/weight of body)/(volume of body)

Density of water = (mass/weight of water)/(volume of water)

If volume of Body = Volume of water, then,

S.G = (Mass/Weight of body)/(Mass/Weight of equal volume of water)

g When 2.50 g of methane (CH4) burns in oxygen, 125 kJ of heat is produced. What is the enthalpy of combustion (in kJ) per mole

Anna [14]

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).

Answer: A) Sodium Na and Magnesium Mg

Explanation:

In the period table, you can see that Sodium (group 1) has 11 protons, and Magnesium (group 2) has 12 protons. 11+12=23 protons
