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 :

$CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O$

The coefficient foer methane is 1 , 2 for oxygen , 1 for carbon dioxide and 2 for water. The sum is 6.

If you add a solution of NaOH to a solution of H₂CO₃, two reactions occur, one after the other. Write the chemical equations for

Crazy boy [7]

We have a solution of NaOH and H₂CO₃

First, NaOH will dissociate into Na⁺ and OH⁻ ions

The Na⁺ ion will substitute one of the Hydrogen atoms on H₂CO₃ to form NaHCO₃

The H⁺ released from the substitution will bond with the OH⁻ ion to form a water molecule

If there were to be another NaOH molecule, a similar substitution will take place, substituting the second hydrogen from H₂CO₃ as well to form Na₂CO₃

Explain why each mineral has its own properties, different from every other mineral

kaheart [24]

Each mineral has its own properties different from other minerals because minerals are made up of different elements. Different elements which can be found on the periodic table all have unique properties, therefore, gold will have distinct properties in comparison with zinc or aluminium for example because they are made up of different elements :))))

For the hypothetical reaction: A + B ---> 2C, write an expression that relates the disappearance of A and B to the appearance

forsale [732]

Answer:

Rate expression has been given below

Explanation:

According to the given equation, 1 molecule of A reacts with 1 molecule of B and produces 2 molecules of B at a time.

So, rate of disappearance of both A and B are one half of rate of appearance of B

Hence rate expression can be represented as:

$Rate=\frac{-\Delta [A]}{\Delta t}=\frac{-\Delta [B]}{\Delta t}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{\Delta [C]}{\Delta t}$

where $\frac{-\Delta [A]}{\Delta t}$ is rate of disappearance of A, $\frac{-\Delta [B]}{\Delta t}$ is rate of disappearance of B and $\frac{\Delta [C]}{\Delta t}$ rate of appearance of C
