In the presence of excess oxygen, methane gas burns in a constant-pressure system to yield carbon dioxide and water: CH4 (g) + 2
djyliett [7]

Answer:

-100.125

Explanation:

We are given

          CH4 (g) + 2O2 (g) → CO2 (g) + 2H2O (l)    △H = -890.0 kJ/mol

The given information is for complete reaction

we have 1.8grams of Methane

Molar mass of CH4 = 16  

No of moles of Methane = 1.8/ 16

                                          = 0.1125

So the amount of the heat will be released from the amount of the methane

Q = No of moles*( -890.0 kJ/mol)

  = 0.1125*(-890)

   = -100.125kJ/mole

Therefore the amount of Energy released from 1.8 grams of methane is equal to -100.125

Answer:

Explanation:

As one moves down the vertical groupings of elements on the periodic table, it is evident that new shells are being added from top to down.

An atomic orbital is the region of space surrounding the nucleus where there is a high probability of finding an electron.

Down a group, the atomic radius increases as more shells are added to an atom.

What’s the star made up of challenge?
Crank

Answer:

Stars are made of very hot gas. This gas is mostly hydrogen and helium, which are the two lightest elements. Stars shine by burning hydrogen into helium in their cores, and later in their lives create heavier elements.Stars are huge celestial bodies made mostly of hydrogen and helium that produce light and heat from the churning nuclear forges inside their cores.
