Answer:the initial composition of the reactants is

40cm^3 of CH4

40cm^3of H2

100cm^3 of H2O

Explanation:

Balanced reaction is

CH4 +H2+5/2O2______

CO2 +3H2O

Excess KOH at room temperature absorbs CO2 whose volume is given by 40cm^3 i.e the volume by which the solution decreases

So using Gay lussac combining ratio which states that gases combine in volumes that are in simple ratio to each other if gases.

Since CO2 in the equation is 1 mole

Means 1mole represent 40cm^3

So CH4:H2:O2 are in ratio of 1:1:5/2=(40:40:100)cm^3 respectively.

How do the particles in s waves move
Darya [45]
In a surface wave, particles of the medium move up and down as well as back and forth in an overall circular motion. The particles don't actually move closer to shore as the waves pass through. In shallow water close to shore, waves start to drag on the bottom of the water.
