D. To answer this question refer to the periodic table and think logically about it. Adding one proton increases the atomic number so you go along the row to Nitrogen. If you lose one neutron then the atomic mass decreases by 1 so 14-1 is 13.
Answer:
The correct option is this: DECREASING THE TEMPERATURE.
Explanation:
During the process of chemical reaction, the reacting molecules typically move about randomly in the reacting vessels colliding with one another and with the wall of the container. The rate of movement of the reacting particles can be reduced by decreasing the temperature of the reaction. If the temperature is reduced, the particles will lose kinetic energy and thus, they will move more slowly and collide less often with one another.
Answer:
There are 5 significant figures
Answer:
-800 kJ/mol
Explanation:
To solve the problem, we have to express the enthalpy of combustion (ΔHc) in kJ per mole (kJ/mol).
First, we have to calculate the moles of methane (CH₄) there are in 2.50 g of substance. For this, we divide the mass into the molecular weight Mw) of CH₄:
Mw(CH₄) = 12 g/mol C + (1 g/mol H x 4) = 16 g/mol
moles CH₄ = mass CH₄/Mw(CH₄)= 2.50 g/(16 g/mol) = 0.15625 mol CH₄
Now, we divide the heat released into the moles of CH₄ to obtain the enthalpy per mole of CH₄:
ΔHc = heat/mol CH₄ = 125 kJ/(0.15625 mol) = 800 kJ/mol
Therefore, the enthalpy of combustion of methane is -800 kJ/mol (the minus sign indicated that the heat is released).
