Answer:

Speed of light

Explanation:

The value 3.0 x 10⁸m/s is taken as the speed of light.

It is a constant.

It implies that light travels a distance of 3 x 10⁸ in just one second.
This value is for the speed of light in a vacuum when there are not particles obstructing its movement.
The speed of electromagnetic radiations in free space is also taken as the speed of light.

24g of methane were burned in an excess of air. What mass of water would be produced in the reaction assuming complete combustio

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

54g of water

Explanation:

Based on the reaction, 1 mole of methane produce 2 moles of water.

To solve this question we must find the molar mass of methane in order to find the moles of methane added. With the moles of methane and the chemical equation we can find the moles of water produced and its mass:

Molar mass CH₄:

1C = 12g/mol*1

4H = 1g/mol*4

12g/mol + 4g/mol = 16g/mol

Moles methane:

24g CH₄ * (1mol / 16g) = 1.5 moles methane

Moles water:

1.5moles CH₄ * (2mol H₂O / 1mol CH₄) = 3.0moles H₂O

Molar mass water:

2H = 1g/mol*2

1O = 16g/mol*1

2g/mol + 16g/mol = 18g/mol

Mass water:

3.0moles H₂O * (18g / mol) =

Which statement best explains how electrons form a covalent bond in a molecule?

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

covalent bond, also called a molecular bond, is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms

the sharing of electrons allows each atom to attain the equivalent of a full outer shell, corresponding to a stable electronic configuration.

Which statement about the reaction is correct?

Goshia [24]

The reactions based on the absorption and release of the energy are called endothermic and exothermic reactions. The reaction is exothermic.

<h3>What is an exothermic reaction?</h3>

Exothermic reactions are the reaction in which the reactant produces products that release energy from the system to the surroundings. In the reaction bond energy of the reactant is less than the product.

Energy from the system is released in the form of heat, sound, light and electricity. The weak bonds of the compounds are replaced with stronger ones and the standard enthalpy of the reaction is negative.

Therefore, option c. reaction is exothermic is correct.

Please help me equalize: PbO2 + MnSO4 + HNO3 = HMnO4 + PbSO4 + Pb(NO3)2 + H2O

Feliz [49]

Answer:

5PbO₂ + 2MnSO₄ + 6HNO₃ ⟶ 2PbSO₄ + 3Pb(NO₃)₂ + 2HMnO₄+ 2H₂O

Explanation:

PbO₂ + MnSO₄ + HNO₃ ⟶ HMnO₄ + PbSO₄ + Pb(NO₃)₂ + H₂O

It will be easiest to balance this equation by the ion-electron method.

1. Write the ionic equation

PbO₂ + Mn²⁺ + SO₄²⁻ + H⁺ + NO₃⁻ ⟶ H⁺ + MnO₄⁻ + Pb²⁺ + SO₄²⁻ + Pb²⁺ + NO₃⁻ + H₂O

2. Eliminate H⁺, H₂O, and spectator ions

PbO₂ + Mn²⁺ ⟶ MnO₄⁻ + Pb²⁺

3. Separate the skeleton equation into two half-reactions.

PbO₂ ⟶ Pb²⁺

Mn²⁺ ⟶ MnO₄⁻

4. Balance all atoms other than H and O

Done

5. Balance O by adding water molecules to the deficient side

PbO₂ ⟶ Pb²⁺ + 2H₂O

Mn²⁺ + 4H₂O ⟶ MnO₄⁻

6. Balance H by adding H⁺ ions to the deficient side.

PbO₂+ 4H⁺ ⟶ Pb²⁺ + 2H₂O

Mn²⁺ + 4H₂O ⟶ MnO₄⁻ + 8H⁺

7. Balance charge by adding electrons to the deficient side.

PbO₂+ 4H⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Pb²⁺ + 2H₂O

Mn²⁺ + 4H₂O ⟶ MnO₄⁻ + 8H⁺ + 5e-

8. Multiply each half-reaction by a number to equalize the electrons transferred.

5 × [PbO₂+ 4H⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Pb²⁺ + 2H₂O]

2 × [Mn²⁺ + 4H₂O ⟶ MnO₄⁻ + 8H⁺ + 5e⁻]

9. Add the two half-reactions.

5PbO₂+ 20H⁺ + 10e⁻ ⟶ 5Pb²⁺ + 10H₂O

2Mn²⁺ + 8H₂O ⟶ 2MnO₄⁻ + 16H⁺ + 10e⁻

5PbO₂ + 2Mn² + 8H₂O + 20H⁺ + 10e⁻⟶ 5Pb²⁺ + 2MnO₄⁻ + 10H₂O + 16H⁺ + 10e⁻

10. Cancel species that occur on each side of the equation

5PbO₂ + 2Mn² + 8H₂O + 20H⁺ + 10e⁻ ⟶ 5Pb²⁺ + 2MnO₄⁻ + 10H₂O + 16H⁺ + 10e⁻

becomes

5PbO₂ + 2Mn²⁺ + 4H⁺ ⟶ 5Pb²⁺ + 2MnO₄⁻ + 2H₂O

11. Add the missing spectator ions

5PbO₂ + 2Mn²⁺ + 4H⁺ ⟶ 5Pb²⁺ + 2MnO₄⁻ + 2H₂O

+ 2SO₄²⁻ + 4NO₃⁻ + 2H⁺ + 2NO₃⁻ +2SO₄²⁻ + 6NO₃⁻ + 2H⁺

becomes

5PbO₂ + 2MnSO₄ + 6HNO₃ ⟶ 2PbSO₄ + 3Pb(NO₃)₂ + 2HMnO₄ + 2H₂O

12. Check that all atoms are balanced.

$\begin{array}{ccc}\textbf{Atom} & \textbf{On the left} & \textbf{On the right}\\\text{Pb} & 5 & 5\\\text{O} & 36 & 36\\\text{S} & 2 & 2\\\text{H} & 6 & 6\\\text{N} & 6 & 6\\\end{array}$

Everything checks. The balanced equation is

5PbO₂ + 2MnSO₄ + 6HNO₃ ⟶ 2PbSO₄ + 3Pb(NO₃)₂ + 2HMnO₄ + 2H₂O
