Answer:

-800 kJ/mol

Explanation:

To solve the problem, we have to express the enthalpy of combustion (ΔHc) in kJ per mole (kJ/mol).

First, we have to calculate the moles of methane (CH₄) there are in 2.50 g of substance. For this, we divide the mass into the molecular weight Mw) of CH₄:

Mw(CH₄) = 12 g/mol C + (1 g/mol H x 4) = 16 g/mol

moles CH₄ = mass CH₄/Mw(CH₄)= 2.50 g/(16 g/mol) = 0.15625 mol CH₄

Now, we divide the heat released into the moles of CH₄ to obtain the enthalpy per mole of CH₄:

ΔHc = heat/mol CH₄ = 125 kJ/(0.15625 mol) = 800 kJ/mol

Therefore, the enthalpy of combustion of methane is -800 kJ/mol (the minus sign indicated that the heat is released).

djverab [1.8K]
•The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons it has. If the atomic number is 20 then we know the atom has 20 protons.

•The mass number of an atom is the total number of protons and neutrons the atom contains. The mass number is 41 and the number of protons is 20, just subtract 20 from 41 and you will get the number of neutrons: 41 - 20= 21. The atoms has 21 neutrons.

•The number of electrons found in an atom is equal to the number of protons. The atoms has 20 protons which means it has 20 electrons.

So, the answer is:
B) 20 protons, 20 electrons, and 21 neutrons

Consider this reaction: 2al(s) + 3 cucl2(aq) → 2alcl3(aq) + 3 cu(s) if the concentration of cucl2 drops from 1.000 m to 0.655 m
kirza4 [7]
The average rate of reaction over a given interval can be calculated by taking the difference of concentration on a particular given reactant, and dividing it by the total time. In this case, (1.00 M - 0.655 M)/30 s = 0.0115 M/s, or 0.0115 mol/L-s, and this is the final rate of reaction.
