Answer: Molecules of gas are usually far apart and can be compressed unlike molecules of liquids.
Explanation:
The molecules of gases are usually far apart, moving freely and randomly, occupying extra space in the containing vessel. Hence, when compressed to become closely packed, gases have lower volume.
However, unlike gases, the molecules of a liquid are restricted, move less freely and occupy no extra space. Hence, liquids cannot be compressed, and their volume remains the same in their containing vessel.
Because the coldness in the ice cream and the suns gamma rays are hitting the ice cream and then it will start to melt. and that is why ice cream melts.
Answer:
1. C4H8 + 6O2 -----> 4CO2 + 4H20
2. 3836.77 kcal
Explanation:
1. Balanced equation for the complete combustion of cyclobutane:
C4H8 + 6O2 -----> 4CO2 + 4H20
2. Heat of combustion of cyclobutane = 650.3 kcal/mol
Molecular weight of cyclobutane, C4H8 = 56.1 g/mol
Mole of C4H8 : mass of cyclobutane/Molecular weight of cyclobutane
Mole of C4H8 = 331/56.1 = 5.9 mol
Energy released during combustion = 5.9 mol × 650.3 kcal/mol = 3836.77kcal
Therefore the energythat is released during the complete combustion of 331 grams of cyclobutane is 3836.77kcal
