Answer:

C. CH₄+2O₂ →2H₂O+CO₂

Explanation:

This is a popular combustion reaction.

            C. CH₄+2O₂ →2H₂O+CO₂

In combustion, hydrocarbons burn in the presence of oxygen gas and they produce water and carbon dioxide only. The process is accompanied with the release of energy.

We simply say for the above reaction that:

           One molecule of methane(CH₄) reacts with two molecules of oxygen gas(O₂) to produce two molecules of water(H₂O) and one molecule of carbon dioxide only

You have a 0.8 L of a 0.5 M HCl solution. How many moles of HCl does this solution contain?
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 0.4 \ mol \ HCl}}

Explanation:

Molarity is concentration measured in moles per liters. It is the number of moles of solute per liters of solution. The formula is:

molarity= \frac{moles \ of \ solute}{liters \ of \ solution}}

We know the solution of HCl has a molarity of 0.5 molar and there are 0.8 liters of solution.

  • 1 molar (M) is equal to 1 mole per liter.
  • Let's convert the molarity of 0.5 M HCl to 0.5 mol HCl per liter. This will make unit cancellation easier.

The moles of solute or HCl are unknown, so we can use x. Now, we can substitute all known values into the formula.

0.5 \ mol \ HCl /L  = \frac {x}{0.8 \ L}

Since we are solving for the moles of solute (x), we must isolate the variable. It is being divided by 0.8 liters. The inverse of division is multiplication, so we multiply both sides by 0.8 L.

0.8 \ L *0.5 \ mol \ HCl /L  = \frac {x}{0.8 \ L} *0.8 \ L

0.8 \ L *0.5 \ mol \ HCl /L=x

The units of liters (L) cancel.

0.8 * 0.5 \ mol \ HCl= x

0.4 \ mol \ HCl=x

This solution contains <u>0.4 moles of HCl.</u>

What should be done to investigate the cause of the contamination of well water?
elena-s [515]
One way is for <span>a landowner to gather as much information as possible about his or her private water well, to know how it works, as well as who has had the land before them. The landowner needs to see if anyone has used pesticides in the area, as it can contaminate the well water. This is the most common way. The landowner can also check to see if any other chemicals have been spilt in the area or even a gas or oil leak, as that too can cause the contamination of well water.

I hope this helps.</span>
