Annette [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Many hydrocarbons are found in plants, animals, and their fossils; other hydrocarbons have been prepared in the laboratory. We use hydrocarbons every day, mainly as fuels, such as natural gas, acetylene, propane, butane, and the principal components of gasoline, diesel fuel, and heating oil.

Explain in terms of types of matter why methane can be broken down by chemical means but argon cannot?
Fynjy0 [20]
Argon is a pure element which means that it cannot be broken down further than it already is. Methane, however, is a hydrocarbon, which means it is made out of both hydrogen and carbon and thus can be broken down to separate those elements.

If I have 21 liters of gas held at a pressure of 78 atm and a temperature of 900 K, what will
shusha [124]

Answer:

30.33L

Explanation:

Using Boyle's law which states that the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure, provided temperature remains constant  and Charles law states that the volume of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to the temperature provided the pressure remains constant

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/ T2

P1 =  78atm, V1 = 21L , T1 = 900K

P2 = 45atm, V2 = ? , T2 =750K

78× 21 / 900 = 45×V2 / 750

1638/900 = 45 V2 / 750

1638×750 = 900×45V2

1228500 = 40500V2

Divide both sides by 40500

1228500÷40500= V2

V2 = 30.33L

How many electrons can the 5th shell hold? 8 18 24 32 50
krok68 [10]

Each shell contains a fixed number of electrons. The general formula of the number of electrons can be hold in n-th shell is 2n². 5th shell can hold 2x5² = 50  number of electrons.

1st shell contains 2 X 1²= 2 number of electrons, 2nd shell contains 2 X 2²=8 number of electrons, 3rd shell contains 2 X 3²=18 number of electrons, 4th shell contains 2 X 4²=32 number of electrons,  5th shell contains 2 X 5²=50 number of electrons and so on.
