Answer:
There are three possible chemical equations for the combustion of sulfur:
- 2S (s) + O₂ (g) → 2SO (g)
- 2S (s) + 3O₂ (g) → 2SO₃ (g)
Explanation:
<em>Combustion</em> is a reaction with oxygen. The products of the reaction are oxides, and energy is released in the form of heat and light.
<em>Sulfur</em> iis a nonmetal, so the oxide formed is a nonmetal oxide.
The most common oxidation numbers of sulfur are -2, + 2, + 4, and + 6.
The combination of sulfur with oxygen may be only with the positive oxidation numbers (+2, + 4, and +6).
Then you have three different equations for sulfur combustion:
<u>1) Oxidation number +2:</u>
Which when balanced is: 2S(g) + O₂(g) → 2SO(g)
<u>2) Oxitation number +4:</u>
That equation is already balanced.
<u>3) Oxidation number +6:</u>
Which when balanced is: 2S(s) + 3O₂(g) → 2SO₃(g)
It is an exothermic reaction because the heat is released.
Dude... h2o, thats why ICE FLOATS ON WATER!!!!
132 g of C , 22 g of H , 176 g of O
132 + 22 + 176 => 330 g <span>of the substance
</span>Now convert the masses in <span>moles :
</span>
C = 12.0 u H = 1.0 u O = 16.0 u
C = 132 / 12.0 => 11 moles
H = 22 / 1.0 => 22 moles
O = 176 / 16.0 => 11 moles
Using the values obtained the lowest proportion in mols of elements present, simply divide the values found for the least of them<span>:
</span>
C = 11 / 11 => 1
H = 22 / 11 => 2
O = 11 / 11 => 1
formula empirically <span>is : CH</span>₂O
hope this helps!
Non-renewable energy sources CAN EVENTUALLY BE USED UP.
Non renewable energy sources refer to those energy sources that can not be replenished. Once they are used up, new one can not be formed or produced, this is because they can only be formed by natural processes and these processes take millions of years to occur. Examples of non renewable energy sources are: coal, natural gas and oil. All the fuels obtained from fossils are non renewable in nature.
