What is the sum of the coefficients needed to balance the combustion reaction of methane?

Chemistry
1 answer:
pishuonlain [190]3 years ago
4 0

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.

Which of these elements is this group?
sergey [27]

Answer:

Strontium

Explanation:

In the periodic table, an element with two (2) valence electrons is found on group 2. Group 2 is a group of the periodic table that harbors element called ALKALINE EARTH METALS. As the name implies, they are metals that possess shiny and solid characteristics at room temperature.

Group 2 elements include the following: Beryllium (Be), Magnesium (Mg), Calcium (Ca), Strontium (Sr), barium (Ba), and radium (Ra). Based on the descriptive information in this question, the element being described is a GROUP 2 element. Based on the elements in the option, only STRONTIUM (Sr) is a group 2 element.

Which pair of atoms has the highest electronegativity difference? Na-F Ca-F H-F C-F F-F
babunello [35]
The answer is Na-F. The F has highest electronegativity among these elements. So we need to find the element with smallest electronegativity. And this element is Na.

Calculate the solubility at 25°C of CuBr in pure water and in a 0.0120M CoBr2 solution. You'll find Ksp data in the ALEKS Data t
iragen [17]

Answer:

S = 7.9 × 10⁻⁵ M

S' = 2.6 × 10⁻⁷ M

Explanation:

To calculate the solubility of CuBr in pure water (S) we will use an ICE Chart. We identify 3 stages (Initial-Change-Equilibrium) and complete each row with the concentration or change in concentration. Let's consider the solution of CuBr.

    CuBr(s) ⇄ Cu⁺(aq) + Br⁻(aq)

I                       0             0

C                     +S           +S

E                       S             S

The solubility product (Ksp) is:

Ksp = 6.27 × 10⁻⁹ = [Cu⁺].[Br⁻] = S²

S = 7.9 × 10⁻⁵ M

<u>Solubility in 0.0120 M CoBr₂ (S')</u>

First, we will consider the ionization of CoBr₂, a strong electrolyte.

CoBr₂(aq) → Co²⁺(aq) + 2 Br⁻(aq)

1 mole of CoBr₂ produces 2 moles of Br⁻. Then, the concentration of Br⁻ will be 2 × 0.0120 M = 0.0240 M.

Then,

    CuBr(s) ⇄ Cu⁺(aq) + Br⁻(aq)

I                       0           0.0240

C                     +S'           +S'

E                       S'            0.0240 + S'

Ksp = 6.27 × 10⁻⁹ = [Cu⁺].[Br⁻] = S' . (0.0240 + S')

In the term (0.0240 + S'), S' is very small so we can neglect it to simplify the calculations.

S' = 2.6 × 10⁻⁷ M
