The insulating ability of a substance is a physical characteristic and not a chemical one. A physical property is a characteristic that distinguishes one type of matter from the other and can be observed without changing the identity of the substance. A chemical property describes how one substance changes into another in a chemical reaction.
60mmHg = 1 atm
<span>1 mmHg = 1/760atm </span>
<span>610mmHg = 610/760 </span>
<span>= .80atm</span>
Answer:
The main component of natural gas is methane (CH4) at 60 to 90% followed by various combination of ethane, propane, and butane whose percentage can vary from 0 to 20% each. For each unit mass of alkanes, the combustion energy (energy released when the fuel reacts with oxygen) released is very high about 13 to 15 kcal/g, which is higher than even those generated by petrol or diesel. So, for heating or other energy generation purpose for household purposes, this source of energy is used.
The equation for combustion of methane is shown below. Upon combustion, carbondioxide and water is produced with simultaneous generation of heat which is the source of energy used for consumption.
CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2+ 2H2O + heat [ For methane, the combustion energy is ~ 6kcal/g]
As the CH2 units are increased in the alkanes, the combustion energy increases, for e.g., ethane has combustion energy of 7 kcal/g and propane has about 12 kcal/g.
Explanation:
A concentration gradient happens when there is a change of the concentration in solution for period of time. Diffusion is the movement of molecules or ions. The relationship between the two of them is molecules diffuse down from an area with a higher concentration to a lower one. An example of this is putting dye in water.
Explanation:
strong electrolyte- Nacl HCL NAOH
weak electrolyte- c12H22O, NH3
