Although the moon's distance from earth varies each month because of its eccentric orbit, the moon's mean distance from Earth is nonetheless increasing at the rate of about 3.8 centimeters (1.5 inches) per year
Explanation:
21. The given molecule for cracking is tetradecane.
On cracking it forms one mole of decane (C10H22) and two moles of ethene gas.
The chemical equation is shown below:

22. The essential condition for the formation of an ester is the reaction of alcohol and acid in presence of concentrated sulfuric acid.
Thus among the given options, the first option is the correct one.
23. Isomers of butanol are shown below:

Explanation:
1. Water decomposition
- Decomposition reactions are represented by-
The general equation: AB → A + B.
- Various methods used in the decomposition of water are -
- Electrolysis
- Photoelectrochemical water splitting
- Thermal decomposition of water
- Photocatalytic water splitting
- Water decomposition is the chemical reaction in which water is broken down giving oxygen and hydrogen.
- The chemical equation will be -

Hence, balancing the equation we need to add a coefficient of 2 in front of
on right-hand-side of the equation and 2 in front of
on left-hand-side of the equation.
∴The balanced equation is -
→ 
2. Formation of ammonia
- The formation of ammonia is by reacting nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas.
→ 
Hence, for balancing equation we need to add a coefficient of 3 in front of hydrogen and 2 in front of ammonia.
∴The balanced chemical equation for the formation of ammonia gas is as follows -
→
.
- When 6 moles of
react with 6 moles of
4 moles of ammonia are produced.
