Answer:

It's not correct. For balancing, we need to put the coefficients in the molecule, not in the athom. Because if you do this, you're creating another molecule, instead of a balacing, for which the reaction may not happen - but anyway, it would be another reaction.

The correct balacing is:

2NaOH + 1H2S → 1Na2S + 2H2O

Explanation:

Look: Na2OH does not even exist. OH has only one free link, so he can't - in normal conditions - make another one with any athom. That's why we should write 2NaOH instead of Na2OH. The first means "2 mols of NaOH".

How much heat is released when 24.8 g of ch4 is burned in excess oxygen gas?

balu736 [363]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:

How much heat is produced when 24.8 g of $CH_4$ is burned in excess oxygen gas

Given: $CH _4
+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O$ ΔH= −802 kJ.

Answer: 1243.1 kJ

Explanation:

Heat of combustion is the amount of heat released on complete combustion of 1 mole of substance.

Given :

Amount of heat released on combustion of 1 mole of methane = 802 kJ kJ/mol

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at NTP, weighs equal to the molecular mass and contains avogadro's number $6.023\times 10^{23}$ of particles.
