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.

Before tackling this problem, be sure you know how to find the antilog of a number using a scientific calculator.
dybincka [34]
<h2>Question:- </h2>

A solution has a pH of 5.4, the determination of [H+].

<h2>Given :- </h2>
  1. pH:- 5.4
  2. pH = - log[H+]

<h2>To find :- concentration of H+</h2>

<h2>Answer:- Antilog(-5.4) or 4× 10-⁶</h2>

<h2>Explanation:- </h2><h3>Formula:- pH = -log H+ </h3>

Take negative to other side

-pH = log H+

multiple Antilog on both side

(Antilog and log cancel each other )

Antilog (-pH) = [ H+ ]

New Formula :- Antilog (-pH) = [+H]

Now put the values of pH in new formula

Antilog (-5.4) = [+H]

we can write -5.4 as (-6+0.6) just to solve Antilog

Antilog ( -6+0.6 ) = [+H]

Antilog (-6) × Antilog (0.6) = [+H]

Antilog (-6)  = {10}^{ - 6} ,  \\ Antilog (0.6)  = 4

put the value in equation

{10}^{ - 6}   \times 4 = [H+] \\ 4 \times   {10}^{ - 6}  = [H+]

A gas mixture is composed of three different gases. The first gas in the mixture has a pressure of 0.35 atm. The second gas in t
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

1.20atm

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Partial pressure of gas 1 = 0.35atm

Partial pressure of gas 2  = 0.20atm

Partial pressure of gas 3  = 0.65atm

Unknown:

Total pressure of the gas mixture = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we need to recall and understand the Dalton's law of partial pressure.

Dalton's law of partial pressure states that "the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressure of the constituent gases".

    Total pressure  =Pressure of gas(1 + 2 + 3)

The partial pressure is the pressure a gas would exert if it alone occupied the volume of the gas mixture.

     

Now we substitute;

      Total pressure  = (0.35 + 0.20 + 0.65)atm  = 1.20atm

What determines the strength of an arrhenius base? give one example each of an aqueous solution of a strong base and an aqueous
IceJOKER [234]
The strength of an Arrhenius base determines percentage of ionization of base and the number of OH⁻ ions formed. 
Strong base completely ionize in water and gives a lot of hydroxide ions (OH⁻), for example sodium hydroxide: NaOH(aq) → Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq).
Weak  base partially ionize in water and gives a few hydroxide ions (OH⁻), for example ammonia: NH₃ + H₂O(l) ⇄ NH₄⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq).
