Methane is the compound CH4, and burning it uses the reaction:
CH4 + O2 -> CO2 + H2O, which is rather exothermic. To find the heat released by burning a certain amount of the substance, you should look at the bond enthalpy of each compound, and then compare the values before and after the reaction. In methane, there are 4 C-H bonds, which have bond energy of 416 kj/mol, resulting in a total bond energy of 1664 kj/mol. O2 is 494 kj/mol. Therefore we have a total of 2080 kj/mol on the left side. On the right side we have CO2, which has 2 C=O bonds, each at 799 kj/mol each, resulting in 1598 kj/mol, and H2O has 2 O-H bonds, at 459kj/mol each, resulting in a total of 2516 kj/mol on the right hand side. Now, this may be confusing because the left hand side seems to have less heat than the right, but you just need to remember: making minus breaking, which results in a total change of 436kj/mol heat evolved.
Now it is a simple matter of find the mols of CH4 reacted, using n=m/mr.
n = 9.5/16.042 = 0.592195 mol
Therefore, if we reacted 0.592195 mol, and we produced 436 kj for one mol, the total amount of energy evolved was 436*<span>0.592195 kj, or 258.197 kj.</span>
The hydrogen and oxygen atoms that combine to form water molecules are bound together by covalent bonds. The electron from the hydrogen splits its time between the incomplete outer shell of the hydrogen atom and the incomplete outer shell of the oxygen atom.
Answer:
On the periodic table, electronegativity generally increases as you move from left to right across a period and decreases as you move down a group. As a result, the most electronegative elements are found on the top right of the periodic table, while the least electronegative elements are found on the bottom left.

91 grams of sodium azide required to decompose and produce 2.104 moles of nitrogen.
Explanation:
2NaN3======2Na+3N2
This is the balanced equation for the decomposition and production of sodium azide required to produce nitrogen.
From the equation:
2 moles of NaNO3 will undergo decomposition to produce 3 moles of nitrogen.
In the question moles of nitrogen produced is given as 2.104 moles
so,
From the stoichiometry,
3N2/2NaN3=2.104/x
= 3/2=2.104/x
3x= 2*2.104
= 1.4 moles
So, 1.4 moles of sodium azide will be required to decompose to produce 2.104 moles of nitrogen.
From the formula
no of moles=mass/atomic mass
mass=no of moles*atomic mass
1.4*65
= 91 grams of sodium azide required to decompose and produce 2.104 moles of nitrogen.
