Answer: The amount of water produced is 9.3 grams

Explanation:

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.

$CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O$

mass of reactants = mass of methane + mass of oxygen = 22.5 g + 35.7 g = 58.2 g

mass of products = mass of carbon dioxide + mass of water = 48.9 g + mass of water

48.9 g + mass of water = 58.2 g

mass of water = 9.3 g

At what temperature are the liquid and the vapour of Bromine in equilibrium (e.g. boiling point)?

irina [24]

Explanation:

Boiling point is defined as the point at which liquid state and vapor state of a substance are existing in equilibrium.

Equilibrium is defined as the state in which rate of forward and rate of backward reaction are equal to each other.

For example, $Br(l) \rightleftharpoons Br(g)$

So, when we boil bromine which is present in liquid state then at the boiling point its vapors will exist in equilibrium. And unless all the liquid state of bromine will not convert into vapors its temperature will not change.

Therefore, we can conclude that at boiling point the liquid and the vapur of Bromine are in equilibrium.

For each of the following compounds, state whether it is ionic or covalent, and if it is ionic, write the symbols for the ions i

kupik [55]

Answer :

Covalent compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms forming a compound.

The covalent compound are usually formed when two non-metals react.

Ionic compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed when electron gets transferred from one atom to another atom.

All the polyatomic ions always form an ionic compound.

Polyatomic ions : It is a charged species that composed of two or more atoms and these charged species are bonded by the covalent bond.

For the given options:

Option A: $KClO_4$

This compound is formed by the combination of potassium, $K^+$ which is a metal and $ClO_4^-$ ion which is a polyatomic ion. Thus, it will form an ionic compound.

Option B: $Mg(C_2H_3O_2)_2$

This compound is formed by the combination of magnesium, $Mg^{2+}$ which is a metal and $C_2H_3O_2^{-}$ ion which is a polyatomic ion. Thus, it will form an ionic compound.

Option C: $H_2S$

Hydrogen and sulfur, both are non-metals and they will form a covalent compound.

Option D: $Ag_2S$

This compound is formed by the combination of silver, $Ag^{+}$ which is a metal and sulfur, $S^{2-}$ which is a non-metal. Thus, it will form an ionic compound.

Option E: $N_2Cl_4$

Nitrogen and chlorine, both are non-metals and they will form a covalent compound.

Option F: $Co(NO_3)_2$

This compound is formed by the combination of cobalt, $Co^{2+}$ which is a metal and $NO_3^{-}$ ion which is a polyatomic ion. Thus, it will form an ionic compound.
