The molar mass of M is  0.225g/mol and the element M is Hydrogen

If a metal M combines with an oxygen element to form the oxide, M_2O then the chemical reaction will be expressed as:

4M + O_2 -> 2M_2O\\

This shows that 4 moles of an unknown element M react with the oxygen element to produce the oxide M_2O

Given the following parameters

Mass of M = 0.890 grams

Mass of M_2O = 0.956 grams

Get the molar mass of M:

Molar mass = Mass/number of moles

Molar mass = 0.890/4

Molar mass = 0.225g/mol

Hence the molar mass of M is  0.225g/mol and the element M is Hydrogen

Sloan [31]

Answer:

Natural gas combustion equation:

CH4 + O2 ==> CO2 + 2 H2O + HEAT

Octane or oil combustion equation:

2C8H18 + 25 O2 ===> 16CO2 + 18 H2O.

If these fuels were replaced by self-sustaining energy sources, the contamination of the environment would be less, since their combustion generates toxic compounds that damage the ozone layer, promoting the greenhouse effect, increasing the Earth's temperature and also promoting the increase in the passage of ultraviolet radiation.

Explanation:

The combustion reactions are exothermic, and irreversible, they can be complete and incomplete combustions.

They always consist of oxygen as a reagent and water and carbon dioxide as a product (complete), in the case of the incomplete the difference is that the products vary and there may be waste or chemical compounds that failed to burn.

What observation did Rutherford make from his gold-foil experiment which
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

A piece of gold foil was hit with alpha particles, which have a positive charge. Most alpha particles went right through. This showed that the gold atoms were mostly empty space. Some particles had their paths bent at large angles. A few even bounced backward. The only way this would happen was if the atom had a small, heavy region of positive charge inside it.

Mila [183]

Renewable energy has the potential to have all the same applications as non-renewable. But we currently don't have the resources and potential.

So I would say the answer would be B, but this question is somewhat confusing.
