When methane undergoes chemical reaction with oxygen, carbon dioxide and water are formed as products. How do you know a chemical reaction has occurred?

Hey there!

We know that a chemical reaction has occurred because one or more new products are formed.

In a chemical reaction, bonds are broken and atoms are rearranged to make new substances.

In this case, methane and oxygen react with each other to produce carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O).

Hope this helps!

when the volume of gas is   changed from   717.73 ml   to 852 ml   the temperature will   change   from 315   c to 452   c

    calculation

this is calculated using the charles law formula

that is,   v1/t1 = v2/t2

          v1=?

        t1 = 315 c   into   kelvin = 315 +273 = 588 k

        v2 = 852   ml

        t2 = 425c + 273 =698 k

make v1   the subject of the formula ( by   multiplying both side by t1)

  v1=( v2 xt1) / t2

v1= (852 ml   x 588 k)/ 698 k= 717.73 ml
