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 :
The coefficient foer methane is 1 , 2 for oxygen , 1 for carbon dioxide and 2 for water. The sum is 6.
<span>Answer: Potassium hydroxide, KOH, is considered a BASE in an acid-base reaction because it ACCEPTS a hydrogen ion from the other reactant.
According to </span><span>Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory, Base is a specie which accepts proton (H</span>⁺) while, Acid is a specie which donate proton.
Bases may contain a negative charge or lone pair of electrons, while, Acids contain positive charge or a neutral atom with incomplete octet.
In given statement KOH is acting as a base because it contains a negatively charged hydroxyl group which can accept proton from a acid, i.e.
KOH → K⁺ + OH⁻
Reaction of OH⁻ with any acid,
K⁺ + OH⁻ + HCl → H₂O + KCl
Answer:
The third line
Explanation:
The first one us wrong because they're not all found inside,electron is outside.
The second one is wrong as I explained previously.
Lastly the fourth line is wrong because protons are found in the nucleus.
All of them are the current biggest sources of electrical energy.
3 of them will be explained.
------------------------
1) Natural gas:
it was the largest source, 38 % approx., of the USA electricity generation. It is used in steam turbines and gas turbines to generate electricity.
----------------------
2) Nuclear energy:
It was the source of 19% of the U.S. electricity generation in 2021. Nuclear power plants use steam turbines to produce electricity from fission.
---------------------
3) Coal power:
It was the 2nd.-largest energy source for US electricity generation in 2021.
About 75% of earth’s surface is covered by the ocean
