Answer:

a) Sm

Explanation:

Hello,

This substantiation could be done by knowing how to compute the released energy for 1 mol the oxide. Thus, for Sm, the computation turns out into:

Q=-1823.0\frac{kJ}{mol}*\frac{1molSm_2O_3}{348.72gSm_2O_3} *3.540gSm_2O_3\\Q=-18.5kJ

The sign just indicates that the heat is released due to the chemical reaction and it matches with the indicated heat in the statement.

Best regards.

A word equation is one that is written in words rather than using the normal symbols of the elements that are involved.

<h3>What is a word equation?</h3>

A word equation is one that is written in words rather than using the normal symbols of the elements that are involved. In this case we are asked to write the word equation for certain reactions and the states of matter of each of the terms in the reaction must be stated.

The word equations are as follows;

  • sodium carbonate solution(aq) +  silver nitrate solution(aq) ----> sodium nitrate(aq) + silver carbonate(aq)
  • potassium carbonate solution(aq) + nitric acid (hydrogen nitrate) solution(aq) -----> potassium nitrate(aq) + water(l) + carbon dioxide
  • barium nitrate solution (aq)+  potassium chromate solution(aq) -----> potassium nitrate (aq) + barium chromate (s)

Name the following alkane:
vladimir1956 [14]

The names of the alkanes are 2,2- dimethylbutane, 2,4- dimethylhexane, 2,2,3,3- tetramethylbutane and 4- ethyl, 3,6- dimethyl heptane.

Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbon in the organic chemistry. These are organic compounds that consists of single bonded carbon and hydrogen atoms. The common formula for writing an alkane is given by CₙH₂ₙ₊₂.

Alkanes are further divided into three more types which are:

1. Chain alkanes

2. Cycloalkanes

3. Branched alkanes

Hydrogenation method is used for preparation of alkanes from alkene and alkyne.

The names of the given compounds are:

Part A:

2,2- dimethyl butane

Part B:

2,4- dimethyl hexane

Part C:

2,2,3,3- tetramethyl butane

Part D:

4- ethyl, 3,6- dimethyl heptane

Which technology is used to deal with waste management?
Alisiya [41]
<span>D) recycling ;)


Waste Management's Aerobic-Anaerobic Bioreactor* is designed to accelerate waste degradation by combining attributes of the aerobic and anaerobic bioreactors. The objective of the sequential aerobic-anaerobic treatment is to cause the rapid biodegradation of food and other easily degradable waste in the aerobic stage in order to reduce the production of organic acids in the anaerobic stage resulting in the earlier onset of methanogenesis. In this system the uppermost lift or layer of waste is aerated, while the lift immediately below it receives liquids. Landfill gas is extracted from each lift below the lift receiving liquids. Horizontal wells that are installed in each lift during landfill construction are used convey the air, liquids, and landfill gas. The principle advantage of the hybrid approach is that it combines the operational simplicity of the anaerobic process with the treatment efficiency of the aerobic process. Added benefits include an expanded potential for destruction of volatile organic compounds in the waste mass. (*US Patent 6,283,676 B1)</span>
