You can stop the burning of methane with water or carbon dioxide extinguishers but problems arise when you try to use this to stop the burning of the magnesium.

Explanation:

To burn magnesium (Mg) and methane (CH₄) you need to react them with oxygen:

2 Mg (s) + O₂ (g) → 2 MgO + heat

CH₄ (g) + 2  O₂ (g) → CO₂ (g) + 2 H₂O (g) + heat

However at that temperatures magnesium (Mg) is able to react with water (H₂O) and carbon dioxide (CO₂).

Mg (s) + 2 H₂O (l) → Mg(OH)₂ (s) + H₂ (g)

2 Mg (s) + CO₂ (g) → 2 MgO (s) + C (s)

So the safe option to stop the burning of the magnesium is to limit the oxygen in the air.

we have used the following notations:

(s) - solid

(g) - gas

(l) - liquid

Substance X has a fixed volume, and the attraction between its particles is strong. Substance Y has widely spread out particles
enot [183]
Among the choices given, the correct answer is the first option. Substance X most likely is a crystal, and substance Y most likely is a liquid. Substance X having a fixed volume describes a crystal because crystals occupy a certain volume. Substance Y is a liquid because liquids can still be compressed further in order to attain a more packed <span>structure.</span>

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

the concentration of PCl5 in the equilibrium mixture = 296.20M

Explanation:

The concept of equilibrium constant was applied where the equilibrium constant is the ration of the concentration of the product over the concentration of the reactants raised to the power of their coefficients. it can be in terms of concentration in M or in terms of Pressure in atm.

The detaied steps is as shown in the attached file.
