Explain why, in terms of the energy involved in bond breaking and bond making, the combustion of methane is exothermic.

Base your answer on the information below and on your knowledge of chemistry. nitrogen dioxide, no2, is a dark brown gas that is used to make nitric acid and to bleach flour. nitrogen dioxide has a boiling point of 294 k at 101.3 kpa. in a rigid cylinder with a movable piston, nitrogen dioxide can be in equilibrium with colorless dinitrogen tetroxide, n2o4. this equilibrium is represented by the equation below. 2no2(g) n2o4(g) + 58kj at standard pressure, compare the strength of intermolecular forces in no2(g) to the strength of intermolecular forces in n2(g).

A3.37-mg sample of protein was chemically digested to convert its nitrogen into ammonia and then diluted to 100.0 ml. then 10.0 ml of this solution was placed in a 50-ml volumetric flask and treated with 5 ml of phenol solution plus 2 ml of sodium hypochlorite solution. the sample was diluted to 50.0 ml, and the absorbance at 625 nm was measured in a 1.00-cm cuvette and found to be 0.486. for reference, a standard solution was prepared from 10.0 mg of nh4cl (molar mass = 53.49 grams/mole) dissolved in 1.00 l of water. then 10.0 ml of this standard was placed in a 50-ml volumetric flask, treated in the same manner as the unknown, and the absorbance found to be 0.323. finally, a reagent blank was prepared using distilled water in place of unknown, it was treated in the same manner as the unknown, and the absorbance found to be 0.076. calculate the weight percent of nitrogen in the protein.

Achemist has dissolved a certain substance in water. the chemist knows that more of the substance could be dissolved into the water before it stops dissolving. therefore
