Answer:

2C₄H₁₀ + 13O₂ ⇒ 8CO₂ + 10H2₀

<h2>What is combustion? </h2>

The reaction of a substance with oxygen, producing one or more oxides, heat and light.

Butane (C₄H₁₀) is a hydrocarbon ( The name used for a hydrocarbon with four carbon atoms and only single bonds.) Butane consists of carbon and hydrogen and thus when it combust, it produces carbon dioxide and water.

2C₄H₁₀ + 13O₂ ⇒ 8CO₂ + 10H2₀

The following chemical equation follow the law of conservation of mass.

The law of conservation of mass states that in a closed system, mass is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical or physical reaction. The law of conservation of mass is applied whenever you balance a <u>chemical equation</u>. It is also applicable to stoichiometry. On the product side, the number of atoms must match the total of atoms on the product side. As a result, the equation must be balanced.

How does the electron configuration of elements within the same group compare? (A.) They all have their valence electrons in the

lesya [120]

Answer:

B.They all have their valence electrons in the same type of subshell

Explanation:

The electron configurations of elements in the same group (column) of the periodic table have them in the same type of subshell.
But the subshells may be of different shells. Thus , the energies of them need not be the same.
For example , The Alkalai Metals are found in the first column of the periodic table Group IA. This set of elements all have valence electrons in only the ' $s$ ' orbital and because they are in the first column they all have $s^{1}$ configuration. i.e,

H $1s^1$
Li $1s^2 2s^1$
Na $1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^1$
K $1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^64s^1$

if a volume of air occupying 12.0Lat 20celsius is heated to a new temperature of 100 celsius,what would be the new volume

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

V₂ = 15.3

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 12.0 L

Initial temperature = 20°C

Final temperature =100°C

Final volume = ?

Solution:

First of all we will convert the temperature into kelvin.

20°C + 273 = 293 K

100°C + 273 = 373 K

Formula:

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

V₂ = Final volume

T₂ = Final temperature

Now we will put the values in formula.

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₂ = V₁T₂/T₁

V₂ = 12.0 L × 373 K / 293 k

V₂ = 4476 L.K /293 k

V₂ = 15.3

V₂ = 1566 L.K / 298 K

V₂ = 5.3 L

At 500 K in the presence of a copper surface , ethanoldecomposes according to the equation

klio [65]

Answer:

Explanation:

rate of reaction

= -ve change in pressure of ethanol / time

= - (250 -237 )/100 = - 13 / 100 torr/s

= - 0.13 torr/s

- (237 - 224 )/100 = - 13 / 100 torr/s

= - .13 torr/s

- (224 - 211 )/100 = - 13 / 100 torr/s

= - .13 torr/s

so on

So rate of reaction is constant and it does not depend upon concentration or pressure of reactant .

So order of reaction is zero.

rate of reaction =K [C₂H₅OH]⁰

K is rate constant

K = .13 torr/s

In 900 s decrease in pressure

= 900 x .13 = 117

So after 900s , pressure of ethanol will be

250 - 117 = 133 torr

Write half reactions and the overall reaction occurred during discharging of acid lead battery.

Gre4nikov [31]

When battery discharge / delivering current the lead at the anode is oxidized
that is ;
pb---->pb+ 2e-
since the lead ions are in presence of aquous sulfate in insoluble lead sulfate precipitate onto the electrode
the overall reaction at the anode is therefore
Pb + SO4^2- ---> PbSO4 + 2e-
