Answer:

1. Nonmetal

2. Nonmetal

3. Covalent

Explanation:

Methane is the molecule being described in this question. It has a chemical formula of CH4 where four hydrogen atoms are bonded to one central carbon atom. Carbon as well as hydrogen are non-metallic elements, which means that they can only share their valence electrons to form a COVALENT BOND.

A covalent bond is a type of chemical bond in which two atoms share their valence electrons. It occurs between two non-metallic atoms. In this molecule, CH4, carbon and hydrogen share their valence electrons to form a covalent bond.

How is a coefficient used to balance an equation
ludmilkaskok [199]

Let's start to understand this question by a simple combustion reaction involving oxidation of Ethane in the presence of Oxygen. When Ethane is burned in the presence of Oxygen it produces Carbon Dioxide and Water respectively. Therefore, the equation is as,

                                C₂H₆  +  O₂    →    CO₂  +  H₂O

Above reaction shows the reaction and the equation is unbalanced. Balancing chemical equation is important because according to law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed. Hence, we should balance the number of elements on both side.

                                       LHS                      RHS

Carbon Atoms                  2                            1

Hydrogen Atoms              6                           2

Oxygen Atoms                  2                           3

It means this equation is not obeying the law. Now, how to balance? One way is as follow,

                                C₂H₆  +  O₃    →    C₂O₂  +  H₆O

                                       LHS                      RHS

Carbon Atoms                  2                            2

Hydrogen Atoms              6                           6

Oxygen Atoms                  3                           3

We have balanced the equation by changing the subscripts. But, we have messed up the chemical composition of compounds and molecules like Oxygen is converted into Ozone.

Therefore, we will change the coefficients (moles) to balance the equation as,

                                C₂H₆  +  7/2 O₂    →    2 CO₂  +  3 H₂O

                                       LHS                      RHS

Carbon Atoms                  2                            2

Hydrogen Atoms              6                           6

Oxygen Atoms                  7                           7

Now, by changing the coefficients we have balanced the equation without disturbing the chemical composition of compounds and molecules.

A container of gas has a volume of 3.5 L and a pressure of 0.8 atm. Assuming the temperature remains constant, what volume of ga
vovikov84 [41]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

5.6 L

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given;

  • Initial volume, V1 = 3.5 L
  • Initial pressure, P1 = 0.8 atm
  • Final pressure, P2 = 0.5 atm

We are required to calculate the final volume;

  • According to Boyle's law, the volume of a fixed mass of a gas and the pressure are inversely proportional at a constant temperature.
  • That is; P α 1/V
  • Mathematically, P=k/V
  • At two different pressure and volume;

           P1V1 = P2V2

In this case;

Rearranging the formula;

V2 = P1V1 ÷ P2

     = (0.8 atm × 3.5 L) ÷ 0.5 atm

    = 5.6 L

Therefore, the resulting volume is 5.6 L

Suppose that a person eats a diet of 2391 Calories per day.a.) Convert this energy into J. Express your answer using four signif
alekssr [168]

Explanation:

(a)

The given data is:-

Energy = 2391 Calories

The conversion of calories to J is shown below as:-

1 calorie = 4.184 J

So,

Energy = 4.184 * 2391 J = 10003.944 J

Answer in four significant digits: - 1.000\times 10^4\ J

(b)

The conversion of calories to kJ is shown below as:-

1 calorie = 0.004184 kJ

So,

Energy = 0.004184 * 2391 kJ = 10.003944 kJ

Answer in four significant digits: - 1.000\times 10\ kJ

(c)

The conversion of calories to kWh is shown below as:-

1 calorie = 1.1622\times 10^{-6} kWh

So,

Energy = 1.1622\times 10^{-6}\times 2391 kWh = 0.002778873 kWh

Answer in four significant digits: - 0.002779\ kWh
