Give reasons for : The empirical and molecular formulas of methane gas (CH4) areidentical.​

Chemistry
1 answer:
LiRa [457]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Because in methane atoms of carbon and hydrogen are present in simplest ratio of 1:4 that can not be simplified further in whole number so its Emperical formula is same as molecular formula.

Calculate the number of joules of heat energy needed to increase the temperature of 25.0 g of metal from 21.0 ºC to 80.0 ºC. The
Harman [31]

Answer:

Q = 768.47 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the metal, m = 25 g

Initial temperature, T₁ = 21.0 ºC

Final temperature, T₂ = 80.0 ºC

The specific heat of the metal is 0.521 J/gºC.

We know that the heat released due to the change in temperature is given by :

Q=mc\Delta T\\\\=25\times 0.521\times (80-21)\\Q=768.47\ J

Hence, 768.47 J of heat energy will be needed.

Complete and balance the reaction in acidic solution. equation: ZnS + NO_{3}^{-} -> Zn^{2+} + S + NO ZnS+NO−3⟶Zn2++S+NO Which
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Balanced reaction: 3ZnS+2NO_{3}^{-}+8H^{+}\rightarrow 3Zn^{2+}+3S+2NO+4H_{2}O

S is oxidized and N is reduced.

NO_{3}^{-} is the oxidizing agent and ZnS is the reducing agent.

Explanation:

Reaction: ZnS+NO_{3}^{-}\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+S+NO

\Rightarrow Oxidation: ZnS\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+S

Balance charge: ZnS-2e^{-}\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+S  ...............(1)

\Rightarrow Reduction: NO_{3}^{-}\rightarrow NO

Balance H and O in acidic medium : NO_{3}^{-}+4H^{+}\rightarrow NO+2H_{2}O

Balance charge: NO_{3}^{-}+4H^{+}+3e^{-}\rightarrow NO+2H_{2}O ...............(2)

[3\timesEquation-(1)] + [ 2\timesEquation-(2)]:

3ZnS+2NO_{3}^{-}+8H^{+}\rightarrow 3Zn^{2+}+3S+2NO+4H_{2}O

Oxidation number of S increases from (-2) to (0) for the conversion of ZnS to S. Therefore S is oxidized.

Oxidation number of N decreases from (+5) to (+2) for the conversion of NO_{3}^{-} to NO. Therefore N is reduced.

NO_{3}^{-} consumes electron from ZnS. Therefore NO_{3}^{-} is the oxidizing agent and ZnS is the reducing agent.

Balance H2 + O2 - H2O
sweet-ann [11.9K]
Currently in this equation, you have 2 hydrogen atoms and 2 oxygen atoms on the left, and then 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom on the right. To balance, you would need to even out the oxygens, so we can first place a 2 in front of H2O to get:
H2 + O2 -> 2H2O

Now, however, you can see that we have too many hydrogen atoms on the right, so to get the final answer, we add a 2 in front of hydrogen on the left:

2H2 + O2 -> 2H2O

I hope this helps!

Describe the process of convection and how it contributes to seafloor spreading
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

Seafloor spreading and other tectonic activity processes are the result of mantle convection. ... Seafloor spreading occurs at divergent plate boundaries. As tectonic plates slowly move away from each other, heat from the mantle's convection currents makes the crust more plastic and less dense.
