Answer: The sum of the coefficients needed to balance the combustion reaction of methane is 6.
Explanation:
Combustion is a chemical reaction in which hydrocarbons are burnt in the presence of oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.
The chemical equation for combustion of methane will be :
The coefficient foer methane is 1 , 2 for oxygen , 1 for carbon dioxide and 2 for water. The sum is 6.
The objects that are rubbed together will create charges among themselves due to friction.
(1) The balloon rubbed with a wool cloth will be charged.
(2) If she comb near a small, uncharged object nothing will change.
(3) This is a scientific investigation because it does not involved a step by step process to answer a scientific query.
The answer is 1815.15 mm hg
Answer:
The new temperature will be 2546 K or 2273 °C
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
The initial temperature = 1000 °C =1273 K
The volume = 20L
The volume increases to 40 L
Step 2: Calculate the new temperature
V1/T1 = V2/T2
⇒with V1 = the initial volume = 20L
⇒with T1 = the initial temperature = 1273 K
⇒with V2 = the increased volume = 40L
⇒with T2 = the new temperature = TO BE DETERMINED
20L/ 1273 K = 40L / T2
T2 = 40L / (20L/1273K)
T2 = 2546 K
The new temperature will be 2546 K
This is 2546-273 = 2273 °C
Since the volume is doubled, the temperature is doubled as well
Answer:
42.65g
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of K = 4g
Unknown: Mass of KCl
Solution:
Complete equation of the reaction:
2K + Cl₂ → 2KCl
To solve this problem, we know that the reactant in short supply is potassium K and this dictates the amount of products that would be formed. The chlorine gas is in excess and we can't use it to determine the amount of product that would form.
Now, we work from the known to the unknown. Since we know the mass of K given in the reaction, we can simply find the molar relationship between the reacting potassium and the product. We simply convert the mass to mole and compare to the product. From there we can find the mass of KCl that would be produced.
Calculating number of moles of K
Number of moles = 
Number of moles of K = 
= 0.103mol
From the given reaction equation:
2 moles of K will produce 2 moles of KCl
Therefore 0.103mol of K will produce 0.103mol of KCl
To find the mass of KCl produced,
Mass of KCl = number of moles of KCl x molar mass
Molar mass of KCl = 39 + 35.5 = 74.5gmol⁻¹
Mass of KCl = 0.103 x 74.5 = 42.65g
