When you put a popcorn kernel in a microwave, the microwave heats up the water. The water then evaporates, and the air wants to escape. There will be so much pressure that the skin/shell of the kernel will break, exposing the corn.

35000 kJ/ 0.250 s <br><br> kJ is kilojoules
mario62 [17]
The unit 'kJ' or kilojoules is a unit of measurement for energy. It is equivalent to the SI units kg·m²/s². When energy is divided with time, that unit is now in terms of work, which energy per unit time. The parameter kJ/s is equivalent to kW or kilowatts.

Work = 35,000 kJ/0.250 s = <em>140,000 kW</em>

How many energy levels contain electrons in an atom of zirconium (Zr)?
ad-work [718]
<h3>Answer: five cause </h3>

The number of energy levels of zirconium is 5, and I know this because it is located in family five. Families are the rows across on the periodic table. The family number is always equal to the number of energy levels.Zirconium: properties of free atoms. Zirconium atoms have 40 electrons and the shell structure is 2.8.

Hope this helps have a awesome day/night✨

The chemical equation below shows the combustion of methane (CH4).
pishuonlain [190]
According to the chemical equation, the reaction ratio between O2 and CO2 is 2:1, which mean for every 2 moles of O2 reacted there is 1 mole of CO2 formed. 

Use the molar mass and mass of O2 to find out the moles of O2: moles of O2 = mass of O2/molar mass of O2 = 8.94g/32.00g/mol = 0.2794 mole.  Therefore, the moles of CO2 that formed is 0.2794moles/2 = 0.1397 mole

Use the moles and molar mass CO2 to find out the mass of CO2:
Mass of CO2 = moles of CO2 * molar mass of CO2 = 0.1397 mole * .44.01g/mole = 6.15 g.

So the answer is B 6.15g.
