Answer:

In a combustion reaction, a substance reacts with oxygen from the air. Combustion reactions happen at high temperatures, and transfer energy to the surroundings as light and heat. ... Since methane is made up of atoms of carbon and hydrogen, the products of its combustion reaction are oxides of carbon and hydrogen.

Lisa [10]

Answer:

Nuclear power comes from nuclear fission

Nuclear power plants use heat produced during nuclear fission to heat water. In nuclear fission, atoms are split apart to form smaller atoms, releasing energy. Fission takes place inside the reactor of a nuclear power plan

Mercury is the only metal that is a liquid at room temperature. When mercury vapor is inhaled, it is readily absorbed by the lun

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

P = 0.0166 mm Hg

Explanation:

To solve this question, we need to use the Clausius Clapeyron equation, which is a commonly used expression to calculate vapour pressure at a given temperature. We have the enthalpy of vaporization of the mercury, so, let's write the equation:

Clausius Clapeyron equation:

Ln (P₂ / P₁) = (-ΔHv / R)(1/T₂ - 1/T₁) (1)

Where:

R: universal constant of gases (8.314 J / K.mol)

P₂: Vapour pressure at 43°C (or 316 K)

P₁: Pressure of mercury at the boiling point (1 atm)

T₂: temperature at 43 °C

T₁: Boiling point of mercury (357 °C or 630 K)

As we are given the boiling point of the mercury, we can safely assume that the pressure at this point is 1 atm, becuase remember that when a sustance boils, is because it's internal pressure has reached the atmospherical pressure of 1 atm. With this clear, all we just need to do is solve for P₂. We are going to do this very slowly so you can understand the process. First let's replace the given data:

Ln (P₂ / 1) = (-59100 J/mol / 8.314 J / K.mol) (1/316 - 1/630)

Ln P₂ = -7108.49 * (3.16x10⁻³ - 1.59x10⁻³)

Ln P₂ = -7108.49 * (1.51x10⁻³)

Ln P₂ = -10.7338

P₂ = 10⁽⁻¹⁰°⁷³³⁸⁾

P₂ = 2.18x10⁻⁵ atm

We can express this value in mm Hg and it will be:

P₂ = 2.18x10⁻⁵ * 760

Hope this helps

An alkene with the molecular formula C8H16 undergoes ozonolysis to yield a mixture of (CH3)2C=O and (CH3)3CCHO. The alkene is:

aalyn [17]

Answer:

2,4,4-trimethyl-2-pentene yields mixture of $(CH_{3})_{2}C=O$ and $(CH_{3})_{3}CHO$

Explanation:

In ozonolysis (hydrolysis step involve a reducing agent such as Zn, $Me_{2}S$ etc.), a pi bond is broken to form ketone/aldehyde.

Ketone is formed from di-substituted side of double bond and aldehyde is formed from mono-substituted side of double bond.

Ozoznolysis involves two consecutive steps : (1) formation of ozonide, (2) hydrolysis of ozonide.

Hydrolysis can be done with/without using reducing agent. Carboxylic acid/carbon dioxide/ketone is produced when hydrolysis is done without using reducing agent.

Here, 2,4,4-trimethyl-2-pentene yields mixture of $(CH_{3})_{2}C=O$ and $(CH_{3})_{3}CHO$

Reaction steps are shown below.

Oxygen and hydrogen are most likely to form what type of bond?

tekilochka [14]

Oxygen and Hydrogen would most likely form a covalent bond that is polar, or a polar covalent bond. Due to the electronegativity difference between the 2 elements, unequal sharing of the valence electrons will occur, electrons being in closer proximity to Oxygen and farther away from Hydrogen. Resulting in the characteristic partial positive and negative charges to appear for the respective elements.
