This reaction obeys the law of conservation of mass.

Explanation:

In the burning reaction, methane (CH₄) react with oxygen (O₂) to produce carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O):

CH₄ + 2 O₂ → CO₂ + 2 H₂O

Now we calculate the number of moles of methane and carbon dioxide:

number of moles = mass / molar weight

number of moles of methane = 10 / 16.04 = 0.62 moles

number of moles of carbon dioxide = 27 / 44.01 = 0.61 moles

From the chemical reaction we see that 1 mole of methane produces 1 moles of carbon dioxide so 0.6 moles of methane produces 0.6 mole of carbon dioxide. This reaction obeys the law of conservation of mass because the mass of reactants is equal to the mass of products.

Which of these is an indication that a chemical reaction has occurred?
Kobotan [32]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

  • The correct option is C.
  • Formation of a precipitate

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

During a chemical reaction, new substances are formed known as a products, mostly reaction occur and their product is obtained as precipitates.

<u><em>Example</em></u>

Arylidene-2-thiobarbituric acid is obtained as precipitates when aldehyde and thiobarbituric acid react to each other.

melting of a substance

It is just indication of physical changes, like melting of ice, composition remained same as before.

boiling of a substance

It is just indication of physical changes, like boiling of water into vapors, composition remained same as before.

freezing of a substance

It is just indication of physical changes, like freezing of water into ice, composition remained same as before

A certain electrolyte solution contains 1 gram of salt for every 8 grams of sugar and every 200 grams of water. If the sugar to
12345 [234]

Answer:

The resulting solution contains approximately 666 g of water.

Explanation:

In the initial solution we have:

1g salt : 8g sugar : 200g water

This means that the ratios are:

\frac{salt}{sugar}  = \frac{1}{8} \\\\\frac{sugar}{water} = \frac{8}{200} =\frac{1}{25}

In the final solution we have:

5g salt: xg sugar: yg water

The new ratios are:

\frac{salt}{sugar} = \frac{3}{8} \\\\\frac{sugar}{water} = \frac{1}{50}

Now we can calculate the amount of sugar in the final solution:

\frac{salt}{sugar}  = \frac{5}{x} =\frac{3}{8} \\\\X = 13.333 g

Finally, we calculate the amount of water:

\frac{sugar}{water} = \frac{13.333}{y} = \frac{1}{50} \\y = 666.667 g

_______ properties depend on the concentration of a solute in a solution but not on the identity of the solute.
Grace [21]

This problem is providing us with a statement in which we need to figure out the word fitting in the blank. At the end, after analyzing the information, the word turns out to be colligative as show below:

<h3>Colligative properties.</h3>

In chemistry, colligative properties of solutions account for the behavior of a solution with respect to the pure solvent, to which a solute is added.

Among them, we have boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, vapor pressure lowering and osmotic pressure, which are all affected by the concentration of the solute but not by the identity of the solute.

In such a way, we conclude that the correct word that fits in the blank is colligative as shown below:

"Colligative properties depend on the concentration of a solute in a solution but not on the identity of the solute."
