Answer/Explanation:

Methanol has a molecular weight (32.04 g/mol), low-boiling point and because of its low boiling point, methanol readily evaporates at room temperature.

Under these specified non-standard conditions, the partial pressure of methanol is lower than its vapor pressure and this explains the reason for the spontaneous evaporation exhibited by methanol.

In the compound cah2 calcium has an oxidation number of 2+ and hydrogen has an oxidation number of
sesenic [268]

The oxidation number of H is -1.

Sum of the oxidation numbers in each element = charge of the complex

CaH₂ has 1 Ca atom and 2H atoms. The charge of the complex is zero. Let’s say Oxidation number of H is "a".

Then,

<span>    (+2) + 2 x a = 0 </span>

<span>        +2  + 2a  = 0</span>

                  2a = -2

                    a = -1

Hence, the oxidation number of Hydrogen atom in CaH₂ is -1

How much heat is released when 15.7g of methane (c2h6) is combusted if the enthalpy of the reaction is - 1560.7 kj
lyudmila [28]

- 407.4 kJ of heat is released.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We have to write the balanced equation as,

2 C₂H₆(g) + 7O₂ → 4CO₂ + 6H₂O

Here 2 moles of ethane reacts in this reaction.

Now we have to find out the amount of ethane reacted using its given mass and molar mass as,

2 mol C₂H₆ × 30.07 g of C₂H₆ / 1 mol C₂H₆ = 60.14 g of C₂H₆

Heat released = ΔH × given mass / 60.14

                        = - 1560. 7 kj ×15.7 g / 60. 14 g  = -407. 4 kJ

Use the information below to explain why the atomic radius decreases down a group.
notsponge [240]

Answer:

Detail is given below

Explanation:

Atomic radii trend along group:

As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.

As the size of atom increases the ionization energy from top to bottom also  decreases because it becomes easier to remove the electron because of less nuclear attraction and as more electrons are added the outer electrons becomes more shielded and away from nucleus.

In A we can see that there is one positive charge and force of attraction is 2.30×10⁻⁸ N and distance is 0.10 nm

In B we can see that negative charge is further away from nucleus because of greater distance thus force of attraction will be less. 0.58×10⁻⁸ N

In C this distance further increases and force also goes in decreasing 0.26×10⁻⁸ N.

Which statement is true of a chemical change?
Andru [333]
The appropriate answer is a. it involves a change in the molecular structure of the substance. A change in phase or state is referred to as a physical change. For example...liquid water freezing is a physical change because the state changes but solid water is still H20. Separating water into its constituent atoms, hydrogen and oxygen is a chemical change because the molecular structure of water is now non existent.
