Answer:
CH4 + 2 O2 → CO2 + 2 H2O
Explanation:
There are one mole of O2 on the left side and on the right side there are three moles of O2. And to fix it you would need to make it two moles of O2 to have four molecules of O2 on the left side. Then you would make two moles of H2O to have a total of four moles of O2 on the right. Therefore, CH4 + 2 O2 → CO2 + 2 H2O is the answer.
D is the answer. A, B,C are absurd. Doing a little word right there.
Answer:
3,964 years.
Explanation:
- It is known that the decay of a radioactive isotope isotope obeys first order kinetics.
- Half-life time is the time needed for the reactants to be in its half concentration.
- If reactant has initial concentration [A₀], after half-life time its concentration will be ([A₀]/2).
- Also, it is clear that in first order decay the half-life time is independent of the initial concentration.
- The half-life of the element is 5,730 years.
- For, first order reactions:
<em>k = ln(2)/(t1/2) = 0.693/(t1/2).</em>
Where, k is the rate constant of the reaction.
t1/2 is the half-life of the reaction.
∴ k =0.693/(t1/2) = 0.693/(5,730 years) = 1.21 x 10⁻⁴ year⁻¹.
- Also, we have the integral law of first order reaction:
<em>kt = ln([A₀]/[A]),</em>
where, k is the rate constant of the reaction (k = 1.21 x 10⁻⁴ year⁻¹).
t is the time of the reaction (t = ??? year).
[A₀] is the initial concentration of the sample ([A₀] = 100%).
[A] is the remaining concentration of the sample ([A] = 61.9%).
∴ t = (1/k) ln([A₀]/[A]) = (1/1.21 x 10⁻⁴ year⁻¹) ln(100%/61.9%) = 3,964 years.
Iodine 131 and iodine 126 are the same in the sense that, they both have the same number of electrons and protons in their atoms, it is only the number of their neutrons that is different. Iodine 131 has 78 neutrons while iodine 126 has 73 neutrons.
Answer : The technology that can make coal a cleaner fuel is to use lower quality of coal with high sulfur content.
Explanation : Using lower quality of coal with high amount of sulfur in it can make coal a cleaner fuel because of high amount of sulfur it will have better combustion.
