Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An atom is defined as the smallest unit of a matter because when a number of atoms combine together then it leads to the formation of matter.

For example, solid, liquid and gaseous are all states of matter.

A compound is defined as a chemical specie which is made by the combination of different atoms in a fixed ratio by mass.  

For Example, H_2O, CO_2 etc. are compounds.

Electrons are one of the sub-atomic particles which are present outside the nucleus of an atom and revolve around it.

Protons are another sub-atomic particles which are present inside the nucleus of an atom.

Thus, we can conclude that the air around us; the clouds above. Although we cannot see them, both the air and the clouds are made up of these building blocks of matter called atoms.

Consider the balanced chemical equation for the combustion of methane (CH4).
Mrac [35]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

                  89.6 L of O₂

<h3>Solution:</h3>

The balanced chemical equation is as,

                                CH₄  +  2 O₂    →    CO₂  +  2 H₂O

As at STP, one mole of any gas (Ideal gas) occupies exactly 22.4 L of Volume. Therefore, According to equation,

             44 g ( 1 mol) CO₂ is produced by  =  44.8 L (2 mol) of O₂

So,

                  88 g CO₂ will be produced by  = X L of O₂

Solving for X,

                        X = (88 g × 44.8 L) ÷ 44 g

                        X = 89.6 L of O₂

After attending his cousin's birthday party in his backyard, Michael forgot his balloon outside when he went to bed. Overnight,
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

You see, we must cast our minds back to Charles' law. Charles' law gives the relationship between the volume of a gas and temperature of the gas.

Now, Micheal left the balloon outside at a particular temperature and volume the previous night. Overnight, the temperature dropped significantly and so must the volume of the gas in the balloon!

Remember that Charles' law states that, the volume of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature at constant pressure. Since the pressure was held constant, the drop in the volume of gas in the balloon can be accounted for by the drop in temperature overnight.

If 0.50 mol/L of butane is added to the original equilibrium mixture and the system shifts to a new equilibrium position, what i
Ostrovityanka [42]

Consider the isomerization of butane with equilibrium constant is 2.5 .The system is originally at equilibrium with :

[butane]=1.0 M , [isobutane]=2.5 M

If 0.50 mol/L of butane is added to the original equilibrium mixture and the system shifts to a new equilibrium position, what is the equilibrium concentration of each gas?

Answer:

The equilibrium concentration of each gas:

[Butane] = 1.14 M

[isobutane] = 2.86 M

Explanation:

Butane  ⇄  Isobutane

At equilibrium

1.0 M               2.5 M

After addition of 0.50 M of butane:

(1.0 + 0.50) M               -

After equilibrium reestablishes:

(1.50-x)M            (2.5+x)

The equilibrium expression will wriiten as:

K_c=\frac{[Isobutane]}{[Butane]}

2.5=\frac{2.5+x}{(1.50-x)}

x = 0.36 M

The equilibrium concentration of each gas:

[Butane]= (1.50-x) = 1.50 M - 0.36M = 1.14 M

[isobutane]= (2.5+x) = 2.50 M + 0.36 M = 2.86 M

What happens to the composition of an atom to cause it to become positively or negatively charged?
cupoosta [38]
<span>The addition and subtraction of negatively charged electrons can easily change an atom’s charge, because they perpetually spin in valence shells outside the nucleus. It is easier for a neighboring atom to share or steal an electron rather than a positively charged proton, which is found in the nucleus. It requires a strong energy input to split a proton free from other protons and neutrons. thus, the atoms lose or gain electrons from neighboring ones and become what is known as "ions". Hope it helped!</span>
