<u>Answer:</u> The balanced chemical equation for the reaction of nitric acid and calcium hydroxide is written below.
<u>Explanation:</u>
A balanced chemical equation is defined as the equation in which total number of individual atoms on the reactant side is equal to the total number of individual atoms on product side.
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction of nitric acid and calcium hydroxide follows:

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:
2 moles of nitric acid reacts with 1 mole of calcium hydroxide to produce 1 mole of calcium nitrate and 2 moles of water molecule.
Hence, the balanced chemical equation for the reaction of nitric acid and calcium hydroxide is written below.
Answer:
Q = 2.60 •
J
Explanation:
Our specific heat capacity equation is:
Q = mC∆T
Q is the energy in joules.
m is the mass of the substance.
∆T is the temperature chance.
Let's plug in what we know.
- We have 76.0 g of octane
- The specific heat capacity of octane is 2.22 J/(g•K)
- The temperature increases from 10.6º to 26.0º (a 15.4º increase)
Q = 76.0(2.22)(15.4)
Multiply.
Q = 2598.288
We want three significant figures.
Q = 2.60 • 
or
Q = 2590 J
Hope this helps!
Explanation:
In gases the molecules are held together by weak Vander waal forces. Due to this they have more kinetic energy and they tend to diffuse at a faster rate because of more number of collisions between the molecules.
That is why, its molecules readily spread into the atmosphere as compared to the molecules of solids and liquids. Also, when molecules of a gas collide with the walls of a container then they tend to come back at their initial position for a fraction of second or more.
Hence, gas collisions are elastic in nature.
According to Graham's law, rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of molar mass of the gas. Hence, more is the molecular weight of gas less likely it is able to diffuse into the surroundings.

Thus, we can conclude that following apply to gases.
- Gas collisions are elastic.
- Gases mix faster than solids or liquids.
- Gases with larger molecular weights diffuse slower than gases with lower molecular weights.
First is hydrogen and second is oxygen
