Answer: 
Explanation:
To calculate the initial temperature of the water:

where,
q = heat absorbed = 
= specific heat of water = 
m = mass of water = 2230 g
= final temperature of water = 
= initial temperature of metal = ?
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:



Thus, the initial temperature of the water is 
Many of the elements on the periodic table will always form ions that have the same charge. The alkali metals (shown in yellow) always form +1 ions. The alkaline earth metals (red) always form +2 ions. The halogens (blue) always form -1 ions.

Always remember that a compound can be separated into simpler substances by chemical methods/reactions. While elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical reactions. You can do a flame test and spectrum analysis to determine whether a solid material is an element or a compound. Check the boiling and/or melting point, color or density. Also check the solid material’s reaction with oxygen, hydrogen, calcium, or various acids. Examine and study its physical chemistry. The element(s) that may be present may be identified by checking the absorption edges from an x-ray spectrum.
Answer: Moles of hydrogen required are 4.57 moles to make 146.6 grams of methane,
.
Explanation:
Given: Mass of methane = 146.6 g
As moles is the mass of a substance divided by its molar mass. So, moles of methane (molar mass = 16.04 g/mol) are calculated as follows.

The given reaction equation is as follows.

This shows that 2 moles of hydrogen gives 1 mole of methane. Hence, moles of hydrogen required to form 9.14 moles of methane is as follows.

Thus, we can conclude that moles of hydrogen required are 4.57 moles to make 146.6 grams of methane,
