Answer:

4 g

Explanation:

First you need to write a balanced chemical equation. You are given thatmethane is burned, meaning a combustion reaction in which carbon dioxide and water are released.

Unbalanced: CH4 + O2 ---> CO2 + H2O

Balanced: CH4 + 2O2 ---> CO2 + 2H2O

Givens:

X grams CH4 (Molecular mass 16.0 grams)

9 grams H2O (Molecular mass 18.0 grams)

11 grams CO2 (Molecular mass 44.0 grams)

Mole ratio: 1:2:1:2 (CH4:O2:CO2:H2O)

Then you need to find which of the reactants are the limiting reactant and which is the excess reactant. The limiting reactant is what you will base the rest of the problem on. To do this, you convert each measurement to moles from grams.

11 g CO2 / (44.0 g) = 0.25 moles CO2

9 g H2O / (18.0 g) = 0.5 moles

n of CH4 = n of CO2 = n of H2O /2 = 0.25 moles

m of CH4 = n* Mw = 0.25 * 16.0 = 4 g

Q 1. Element M is a metal that forms compounds of the type MX2, MX3, and MX4, where X is a Chlorine (Cl).
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The ionic radius of metal M decreases as the charge on the metal M increases. The ionic radius is generally defined as the distance between the nucleus and the outermost electron of the ion. Hence, ionic radius becomes much lesser as the magnitude of the positive charge increases.

It is obvious  from the various formulae of metal chlorides in the question that the metal forms cations M^2+, M^3+ and M^4+ respectively. The order of decreasing ionic radius of the compounds is;

MX2 > MX3 > MX4

A proton travels at a speed of 2.0 × 106 meters/second. Its velocity is at right angles with a magnetic field of strength 5.5 ×
Finger [1]

So here we are given that the the velocity of the proton ( V ) is 2.0 × 10^6 meters / second, with a magnetic field of strength 5.5 × 10^{-3}  tesla. If they each form a right angle, they are hence perpendicular to one another, such that ....

F = q( V × B ),

F = q v B( sin ∅ ),

F = q v B( sin( 90 ) )

.... they form the following formula. Let's go through each of the variables in our formula here -

{ F = Magnetic Force ( which has to be calculated ), q = charge of proton (has charge of 1.602 × 10^{19} coulombs ), B = magnetic field }

All we have to do now is plug and chug,

F = ( 1.602 × 10^{19} )( 2.0 × 10^6 )( 5.5 × 10^{-3} ) = ( About ) 1.8 × 10^{-15} Newtons

Identify the hybridization of each carbon atom for the molecule above
ipn [44]

Carbons starting from the left end:

  1. sp²
  2. sp²
  3. sp²
  4. sp
  5. sp

Refer to the sketch attached.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

The hybridization of a carbon atom depends on the number of electron domains that it has.

Each chemical bond counts as one single electron domain. This is the case for all chemical bonds: single, double, or triple. Each lone pair also counts as one electron domain. However, lone pairs are seldom seen on carbon atoms.

Each carbon atom has four valence electrons. It can form up to four chemical bonds. As a result, a carbon atom can have up to four electron domains. It has a minimum of two electron domains, with either two double bonds or one single bond and one triple bond.

  • A carbon atom with four electron domains is sp³ hybridized;
  • A carbon atom with three electron domains is sp² hybridized;
  • A carbon atom with two electron domains is sp hybridized.

Starting from the left end (H₂C=CH-) of the molecule:

  • The first carbon has three electron domains: two C-H single bonds and one C=C double bond; It is sp² hybridized.
  • The second carbon has three electron domains: one C-H single bond, one C-C single bond, and one C=C double bond; it is sp² hybridized.
  • The third carbon has three electron domains: two C-C single bonds and one C=O double bond; it is sp² hybridized.
  • The fourth carbon has two electron domains: one C-C single bond and one C≡C triple bond; it is sp hybridized.
  • The fifth carbon has two electron domains: one C-H single bond and one C≡C triple bond; it is sp hybridized.
