Answer: 2. cannot be an element.

Explanation:

Element is a pure substance which is composed of atoms of similar elements.It can not be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions.Example: Copper Cu

Compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.It can be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions. Example: methane CH_4

CH_4\rightarrow C+2H_2

Thus as it can be decomposed into its constituent elements, it is a compound.

Mixture is a substance which has two or more components which do not combine chemically and do not have any fixed ratio in which they are present.

Thus methane cannot be an element.

C2H4(g) + H2(g) → C2H6(g) ΔH = –137.5 kJ; ΔS = –120.5 J/K Calculate ΔG at 25 °C and determine whether the reaction is spontaneou
Katen [24]

Answer:-ΔG=-101.5KJ

Explanation:We have to calculate ΔG for the reaction  so using the formula given in the equation we can calculate the \Delta G for the reaction.

We need to convert the unit ofΔS in terms of KJ/Kelvin as its value is given in terms of J/Kelvin

Also we need to convert the temperature in Kelvin as it is given in degree celsius.

\Delta H=-137.5\\ \Delta S=-120J/K\\ \Delta S=-0.120KJ/K\\ T=25^{.C}\\ T=273+25=298 K\\ \Delta G=?\\ \Delta G=\Delta H-T\Delta S\\\Delta G=-137.5KJ-(278\times -0.120)\\ \Delta G=-137.5+35.76\\\Delta G=-101.74\\\Delta G=Negative

After calculating forΔG we found that the value ofΔG is negative and its value is -101.74KJ

 For a  reaction to be spontaneous the value of \Delta G \ must be negative .

As the ΔG for the given reaction is is negative so the reaction will be spontaneous in nature.

In this reaction since the entropy of reaction is positive and hence when we increase the temperature term then the overall term TΔS would become more positive  and hence the value of ΔG would be less negative .

Hence the value of ΔG  would become more positive with the increase in temperature.

So we found the value of ΔG to be -101.74KJ

In matter results in a change in its identity and properties.
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The chemical change in matter is results in a change in its identity and properties.

Explanation:

There are toe type of changes physical change and chemical change.

The chemical change change in matter lead to lost its identity and properties.

Chemical change:

The changes, that occur due to change in the composition of a substance and result in a different compound is known as chemical change.

These changes are irreversible

These changes occur due to chemical reactions

These may not be observed with naked eye

Example:

Combustion of fuel or wood: that oil or wood convert into energy, CO2 and ash in case of wood

Boiling of egg: that change the chemical composition of protein in the egg .

The reaction of Hydrogen and oxygen:  

H 2 (g)  + O 2  (g) -------------------------------------> 2H 2O  (l)

Write the symbol for every chemical element that has atomic number greater than 55 and atomic mass less than 144.0 u
laila [671]
You will need a periodic table to help you answer this problem. The atomic numbers are arrange from lowest to highest in the periodic table. You can locate element number 55 to be Cesium with an atomic weight of 132.905 amu. So, you start from element 56. The following elements are:

56     Barium       137.328 amu
57     Lanthanium   138.905 amu
58     Cerium       140.116 amu
59     <span>Praseodymium    140.908 amu
60     Neodymium   144.243 amu

Neodymium is already greater than 144 amu. Therefore, these elements only include Barium, Lanthanium, Cerium and Praseodymium.</span>
