The main constituent of biogas is

A) Butane B) Methane
C) Hydrogen Sulphide D) Carbondioxide
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Methane

Explanation:

The main constituent of biogas is methane (55-70%), CO2 (30-45%) and some traces of gases such as H2S and ammonia.

Biogas is produced under anaerobic conditions; the process is denominated as anaerobic digestion.

Q:

The reactivity of an atom arises from 

A) the existence of unpaired electrons in the valence shell B) the energy differences between the electron shells
C) the sum of the potential energies of all the electron shells D) the average distance of the outermost electron shell from the nucleus
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) the existence of unpaired electrons in the valence shell

Explanation:

When atoms react they do so in order to reach the lowest energy, which is the most stable. The electrons orbitals will overlap in the way that reduces the energy the most. Orbitals of similar energy will produce the greatest stabilisation.The answer you gave isn't the whole story, it depends what species is reacting with what. The effective nuclear charge on the atom will affect the energy of the valance electrons.

 

Hence, the reactivity of an atom arises from the existence of unpaired electrons in the valence shell.

Q:

What are the reactants in a chemical reaction?

Answer

In a chemical reaction, substances (elements or compounds) called reactants are changed into other substances (compounds or elements) called products. Hence, reactants are those which start the chemical reaction.


 


For example:


1. In the burning of natural gas, methane (CH4) and oxygen (O2) are the reactants in the chemical reaction. are the substances formed by a chemical reaction. In the burning of natural gas, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) are the products formed by the reaction.


 


2. H2+O2 ----> H2O


Here H2 & O2 are called Reactants and H2O is called Product.
