Answer is: 4.45 grams of methane gas <span>need to be combusted</span>.
Balanced chemical reaction: CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O.
Ideal gas law: p·V = n·R·T.<span>
p = 1.1 atm.
T = 301 K.
V(H</span>₂O) <span>= 12.5 L.
R = 0,08206 L·atm/mol·K.
</span>n(H₂O) = <span>1.1 atm · 12.5 L ÷ 0,08206 L·atm/mol·K · 301 K.
</span>n(H₂O) = 0.556 mol.
From chemical reaction: n(H₂O) : n(CH₄) = 2 : 1.
n(CH₄) = 0.556 mol ÷ 2 = 0.278 mol.
m(CH₄) = 0.278 mol · 16 g/mol.
m(CH₄) = 4.448 g.

II. Binding Forces A. Write a brief, one or two sentence, description of each binding force listed below. 1. London dispersion f
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

All description is given in explanation.

Explanation:

Van der Waals forces:

It is the general term used to describe the attraction or repulsion between the molecules. Vander waals force consist of two types of forces:

1.  London dispersion forces

2.  Dipole-dipole forces

1. London dispersion forces:

These are the weakest intermolecular forces. These are the temporary because when the electrons of atoms come close together they create temporary dipole, one end of an atom where the electronic density is high is create negative pole while the other becomes positive . These forces are also called induce dipole- induce dipole interaction.

2.  Dipole-dipole forces:

These are attractive forces , present between the molecules that are permanently polar. They are present between the positive end of one polar molecules and the negative end of the other polar molecule.

Hydrogen bonding:

It is the electrostatic attraction present between the atoms which are chemically bonded. The one atom is hydrogen while the other electronegative atoms are oxygen, nitrogen or flourine. This is weaker than covalent and ionic bond.

Ionic bond or electrostatic attraction:

It is the electrostatic attraction present between the oppositely charged ions. This is formed when an atom loses its electron and create positive charge and other atom accept its electron and create negative charge.

Hydrophobic interaction:

It is the interaction between the water and hydrophobic material. The hydrophobic materials are long chain carbon containing compound. These or insoluble in water.

Covalent bond:

These compounds are formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms of same elements are between the different element's atoms. The covalent bond is less stronger than ionic bond so require less energy to break as compared to the energy require to break the ionic bond.

A waste treatment pond is 50 m long and 25 m wide, and has an average depth of 2 m. The density of the waste is 75.3lbm/ft^3 .Ca
umka21 [38]

Answer:

W = 6.65 \cdot 10^{6} lbf

Explanation:

To find the weight (W) of the pond contents first we need to use the following equation:

W = m\cdot g   (1)

Where m the mass and g is the gravity  

Also, we have that the mass is:

m = \rho*V  (2)    

Where ρ is the density and V the volume

We cand calculate the volume as follows:

V = L*w*d   (3)

Where L is the length, w is the wide and d is the depth  

By entering equation (2) and (3) into (1) we have:

W = \rho*L*w*d*g

W = 75.3 lbm/ft^{3}*50 m*25 m*2 m*9.81 m/s^{2}  

W = 75.3 lbm/ft^{3}*\frac{(1 ft)^{3}}{(0.3048 m)^{3}}*\frac{0.454 kg}{1 lbm}*50 m*25 m*2 m*9.81 m/s^{2} = 2.96 \cdot 10^{7} N}*\frac{0.2248 lbf}{1 N} = 6.65\cdot 10^{6} lbf              

Therefore, the weight of the pond is 6.65x10⁶ lbf.

I hope it helps you!

Suggest why CaO rather than MgO is used to dry ammonia.
V125BC [204]
Ca<span>2+</span> is less electro-positive than Mg2+. Therefore, CaO is less ionic than MgO. and in turn means that the O in CaO is more like O<span>2<span>– will react with H in H2O more so than O2- of MgO, because it is more ionic means O is strongly bonded to Mg compare to Ca</span></span>
