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.

1 mole of $CH_4$ weighs = 16 g

Thus we can say:

16 g of $CH_4$ on combustion releases heat = 802 kJ

Thus 24.8 g of $CH_4$ on combustion releases = $\frac{802}{16}\times 24.8=1243.1kJ$

Thus heat released when 24.8 g of methane is burned in excess oxygen gas is 1243.1 kJ

Latent heat is used to: 1. form chemical bonds. 2. change molecular structure. 3. change states of matter. 4. change the tempera

likoan [24]

Answer : The correct option is, (3) change states of matter.

Explanation :

Latent heat : It is defined as the heat required to convert the solid into liquid or vapor and a liquid into a vapor without changing the temperature.

There are two types of latent heat.

(1) Latent heat of fusion

(2) Latent heat of vaporization

Latent heat of fusion : It is defined as the amount of heat energy released or absorbed when the solid converted to liquid at atmospheric pressure at its melting point.

Latent heat of vaporization : It is defined as the amount of heat energy released or absorbed when the liquid converted to vapor at atmospheric pressure at its boiling point.

Hence, latent heat is used to change states of matter.

The kinetic molecular theory (KMT) deals specifically with

fgiga [73]

This kind of questions cannot be open because there might be many different answers depending of the focus.

In fact, I found the set of options that comes with this questions. This is:

A. behavior of ions.
B. molecular bonding.
C. molecular shape.
D. molecular motion.

Of course, the answer is the option D. molecular motion.

And, of course, you need an explanation.

It is good to know that the word kinetic refers to motion, so definetly kinetic molecular theory is a theory about the motion of the molecules.

With that you likely had been able to answer the question. But it is good to know what the molecular theory is.

The molecular kinetic molecular theory explains the properties and behavior of the gases in terms of the motion of its particles (molecules) making several assumptions about the energy, size and motion of such particles.

Control of Blood pH by respiratory rate.

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

A) During this procedure ( hypoventilation ) The CO2 in the arterial blood vessels and the lungs increases and this drives the PH level in the system lower, and the equilibrium will shift to the right. this is because the Blood-PH level is controlled by CO2 - bicarbonate buffer system

B) The blood PH may rise to 7.60 during Hyperventilation because the removal of CO2 from the lungs causes the increase in $H^+$ which is directly proportional to the increase in Blood PH levels

C) Hyper ventilation before a dash would be useful because it will remove excessive Hydrogen ions and and raise the Blood PH levels in preparedness of the production of acids like Lactic acid

Explanation:

$CO_{2} +H_{2} O$ ⇄ $H^+ + HCO^-_{3}$

B) The blood PH may rise to 7.60 during Hyperventilation because the removal of CO2 from the lungs causes the increase in $H^+$ which is directly proportional to the increase in Blood PH levels

C) Hyper ventilation before a dash would be useful because it will remove excessive Hydrogen ions and and raise the Blood PH levels in preparedness of the production of acids like Lactic acid
