Methane can be decomposed into two simpler substances: hydrogen and carbon. Therefore, methane 1. is a gas. 2. cannot be an elem
1 answer:
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
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
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.

This problem is providing the basic dissociation constant of ibuprofen (IB) as 5.20, its pH as 8.20 and is requiring the equilibrium concentration of the aforementioned drug by giving the chemical equation at equilibrium it takes place. The obtained result turned out to be D) 4.0 × 10−7 M, according to the following work:
First of all, we set up an equilibrium expression for the given chemical equation at equilibrium, in which water is omitted for it is liquid and just aqueous species are allowed to be included:
Next, we calculate the concentration of hydroxide ions and the Kb due to the fact that both the pH and pKb were given:
Then, since the concentration of these ions equal that of the conjugated acid of the ibuprofen (IBH⁺), we can plug in these and the Kb to obtain:
Finally, we solve for the equilibrium concentration of ibuprofen:
