Answer:

carbon

Explanation:

Carbon forms compounds that make up about 18 percent of all the matter in living things. The processes by which organisms consume carbon and return it to their surroundings constitute the carbon cycle.

Reaction rate is expressed in terms of changes in the concentration of reactants and products. Write a balanced equation for the

KengaRu [80]

Answer : The balanced equations will be:

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

Explanation :

The general rate of reaction is,

$aA+bB\rightarrow cC+dD$

Rate of reaction : It is defined as the change in the concentration of any one of the reactants or products per unit time.

The expression for rate of reaction will be :

$\text{Rate of disappearance of A}=-\frac{1}{a}\frac{d[A]}{dt}$

$\text{Rate of disappearance of B}=-\frac{1}{b}\frac{d[B]}{dt}$

$\text{Rate of formation of C}=+\frac{1}{c}\frac{d[C]}{dt}$

$\text{Rate of formation of D}=+\frac{1}{d}\frac{d[D]}{dt}$

$Rate=-\frac{1}{a}\frac{d[A]}{dt}=-\frac{1}{b}\frac{d[B]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{c}\frac{d[C]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{d}\frac{d[D]}{dt}$

From this we conclude that,

In the rate of reaction, A and B are the reactants and C and D are the products.

a, b, c and d are the stoichiometric coefficient of A, B, C and D respectively.

The negative sign along with the reactant terms is used simply to show that the concentration of the reactant is decreasing and positive sign along with the product terms is used simply to show that the concentration of the product is increasing.

Now we have to determine the balanced equations corresponding to the following rate expressions.

$Rate=-\frac{d[CH_4]}{dt}=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{d[O_2]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{2}\frac{d[H_2O]}{dt}=+\frac{d[CO_2]}{dt}$

The balanced equations will be:

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

The specific heat of gold is 0.031 calories/gram°C and the specific heat of silver is 0.057 calories/gram°C. If equal amounts of

Vikki [24]

I think the substance that will heat up faster would be the silver metal since it has a higher heat capacity. Heat capacity is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of the system into one degree. Heat capacity and heat energy is directly related so higher value of heat capacity would lead to higher heat energy.

Which term is used to describe the reactant that is used up completely and controls the amount of product that can be produced d

givi [52]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A limiting reagent is defined as a reagent that completely gets consumed in a chemical reaction. A limiting reagent limits the formation of products.

For example, we have given 5 mol of A and the reaction is $2A + 4B \rightarrow 2AB$

Whereas when 4 mol B will react with 2 mol of A. Hence, 8 mol of B will react with 4 mol A as follows.

$\frac{2}{4} \times 8$ = 4 mol

As, the given moles of A is more than the required moles. Thus, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Hence, B is a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of products.

Thus, we can conclude that limiting reactant is the term used to describe the reactant that is used up completely and controls the amount of product that can be produced during a chemical reaction.
