Explanation:

In the extreme winters , the water inside pipes freeze, on freezing it's(water molecule)  density decreases and volume increases and therefore, the ice then expands and pushes the water towards the faucet, causing high pressure buildup in the pipe and after a limit the pipe burst. This is what happened to the family in Ottawa, where winters are chilly.

How many moles of methane (CH4) could be made from 4.6 moles of hydrogen?
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Number of moles of methane form = 2.3 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of Hydrogen = 4.6 mol

Number of moles of methane form = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

C + 2H₂     →   CH₄

Now we will compare the moles of methane with hydrogen from balance chemical equation.

                     H₂              :           CH₄

                       2              :             1

                     4.6             :            1/2×4.6 = 2.3 mol  

Form 3.6 moles of hydrogen 2.3 moles of methane can be formed.
