The methane molecule undergoes oxidation and the carbon is oxidized to carbon dioxide and hydrogen to water.
In this reaction there is cleavage of four C-H bonds and two O=O bonds
there will be formation of two C=O bonds and four O-H bonds.
Overall due to more bond cleavage energy there will be evolution of energy. thus combustion is an exothermic reaction.
Answer:
See detailed explanation.
Explanation:
Hello!
i. In this case, since the given chemical reaction is exothermic due to the negative change in the enthalpy of reaction, we infer that according to the mentioned principle, by lowering the temperature the reaction will shift rightwards and therefore the yield is increased; thus, you need a lower temperature than the specified.
ii. In this case, since the reaction has less moles at the products side, according to the mentioned principle it'd be necessary to rise the pressure in order to increase the yield, since the increase of pressure favors the reaction side with the fewest number of moles.

A) all mechanical waves need a medium to travel through.
This is true because mechanical waves move in a wave like manner at the atomic level. This is why an table vibrates when you put a speaker on top of it .
