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.

you have a lead ball with a mass of 420 g. the density of lead is 10.5 g/cm³. what is the volume of the ball
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>40.0 mL</h2>

Explanation:

The volume of a substance when given the density and mass can be found by using the formula

volume =  \frac{mass}{density}

From the question

mass = 420 g

density = 10.5 g/cm³

The volume is

volume =  \frac{420}{10.5}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>40.0 mL</h3>

What is the chemical formula for iron(III) Oxide with explanation, please
OLga [1]
Writing the name for Fe2o3 is a bit more challenging since Fe is a transition metal. this means you need to used parenthesis and Roman Numeral to show the charge on the Fe atoms. in these case each Fe atoms has a charge of +3 so we write Fe2o3 as an iron(III) oxide

Place the gases listed below in order from the slowest moving to fastest moving when the gases are at 25 C. O2, N2, F2, Cl2
Olin [163]
The way I solved this is through looking at the gases' weights on the periodic table. The heavier the gas is, the slower it will move (correct me if I'm wrong).

Cl2, F2, O2, N2
