How much heat in kj is released by burning 9.5 grams of methane?

Methane is the compound CH4, and burning it uses the reaction:

CH4 + O2 -> CO2 + H2O, which is rather exothermic. To find the heat released by burning a certain amount of the substance, you should look at the bond enthalpy of each compound, and then compare the values before and after the reaction. In methane, there are 4 C-H bonds, which have bond energy of 416 kj/mol, resulting in a total bond energy of 1664 kj/mol. O2 is 494 kj/mol. Therefore we have a total of 2080 kj/mol on the left side. On the right side we have CO2, which has 2 C=O bonds, each at 799 kj/mol each, resulting in 1598 kj/mol, and H2O has 2 O-H bonds, at 459kj/mol each, resulting in a total of 2516 kj/mol on the right hand side. Now, this may be confusing because the left hand side seems to have less heat than the right, but you just need to remember: making minus breaking, which results in a total change of 436kj/mol heat evolved.

Now it is a simple matter of find the mols of CH4 reacted, using n=m/mr.

n = 9.5/16.042 = 0.592195 mol

Therefore, if we reacted 0.592195 mol, and we produced 436 kj for one mol, the total amount of energy evolved was 436*<span>0.592195 kj, or 258.197 kj.</span>

43 mg = [?]g <br>A. 0.043 g <br>B. 4.3 g <br>C. 4300 g <br>D. 43,000 g​
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Option A (0.043 g) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Given:

= 43 mg

As we know,

1 \ mg = \frac{1}{1000} \ g

then,

⇒ 43 \ mg = \frac{43}{1000}  \ g

              = 0.043 \ g

Thus, the above is the correct alternative.

What is 10 times as many as 1 hundred is blank hundred or blank thousand ?
Rama09 [41]

10 times as many as 1 hundred is 10 hundred or 1 thousand.

This is the question of simple multiplications related to a place value system.

The given equation in unit form can be rewritten as:

10 × 1 × 100 = (X × 100) or (Y × 1000)

Arranging in two parts, we get,

10 × 1 × 100 = X × 100           ........(1)

10 × 1 × 100 = Y × 1000         ........(2)

Now, calculating the value of X and Y,

From equation (1), we get,

10 × 1 × 100 = X×100

or, 1000 = X × 100

or, X = 10

Hence, 10 times as many as 1 hundred is 10 hundred.

Similarly, from equation (2). we get,

10 × 1 × 100 = Y × 1000

or, 1000 = Y × 1000

or, Y = 1

Hence, 10 times as many as 1 hundred is 1 thousand.

Therefore, 10 times as many as 1 hundred is 10 hundred or 1 thousand.
