The enthalpies of formation of the compounds in the combustion of methane, mc019-1.jpg, are ch4 (g): mc019-2.jpghf = –74.6 kj/mol; co2 (g): mc019-3.jpghf = –393.5 kj/mol; and h2 o(g): mc019-4.jpghf = –241.82 kj/mol. how much heat is released by the combustion of 2 mol of methane? use mc019-5.jpg. mc019-6.jpg80.3 kj mc019-7.jpg802.5 kj mc019-8.jpg1,605.1 kj mc019-9.jpg6,420.3 kj

The earth's moon is unusually large. two popular theories of the moon's origin include the "sister world" hypothesis, which states that the moon formed from the same materials as the earth, near enough to the earth that they fell into orbit around each other. a second theory is the "capture" hypothesis, in which the moon formed elsewhere in the solar system, and the earth's gravity pulled it into its orbit. studies of what the moon is made of indicate that some of its materials had to come from the earth or from the same area of the solar system where the earth had formed. at the same time, the moon does not contain much of the material that makes up the earth's core, so the moon could not have formed from the same materials as the earth. how do the two facts above affect the described theories of the moon's origin? a. they show that scientists will never agree on where the moon came from. b. they show that more experiments on moon formation need to be done. c. they show that no theory accounts for the existence of the moon. d. they show that neither theory is complete and entirely correct.

Astudent is given a sample of a blue copper sulfate hydrate. he weighs the sample in a dry covered porcelain crucible and got a mass of 23.875 g for the crucible, lid, and sample. the mass of the empty crucible and lid was found earlier to be 22.652 g. he then heats the crucible to expel the water of hydration, keeping the crucible at red heat for 10 minutes with the lid slightly ajar. on colling, he finds the mass of crucible, lid, and contents to be 23.403 g. the sample was changed in the process to very light clue anhydrous cuso4. if there are again 100.0 g of hydrate, how many grams of cuso4 are in it? how many moles of cuso4? (hint: molar mass of cuso4 = 159.6 g / mole. what per cent of the hydrate is cuso4? you may convert the mass of cuso4 to moles.)

Which is an example of the practical pursuit of alchemy? a. forming perfect substances. b. transforming base metals. c. developing metalworking techniques. d. linking spiritual characteristics with material substances.
