The compound which on combustion produces Carbon-di-oxide and water is carbohydrates.

  • Percentage of Carbon = 6.98 / 17.41 x 100 = 40 %
  • Percentage of Hydrogen = 15.08 / 17.41 x 100 = 86.61 %
  • Percentage of Oxygen = 4.6 / 17.41 x 100 = 26.42 %

<h3>What is combustion reaction ?</h3>

Those reaction in which the Crabon present in the reatctant gets reacted with oxygen and produces Carbon-di-oxide.


It is an Exothermic Reaction.

<h3>Combustion of carbohydrate ;

C_6H_1_2 O_6 + O_2    - > 6CO_2 +2H_2O</h3>

To find out the percentage of C, H and O, we must know about there weight in the product.

Given,

Total weight of compund [Reactant] = 17.41 grams

Weight of carbon dioxide [Product] = 25.61 grams

Weight of water [Product]= 10.48 grams

Now, we need to find out the weight of C,H and O in the products ;

  • Mass of Carbon = No. of Moles x Atomic weight


No. of Moles of Crabon =   \frac{Given \\ weight\\  of\\  the\\  compound}{Molecular\\ weight\\  of\\  the compound} x No. of C-atoms in molecule                          

No. of Moles of Crabon =25.61 / 44 = 0.58 x 1 = 0.58 moles

Mass of Carbon = 0.58 moles x 12 = 6.98 gm

  • Mass of Hydrogen = No. of Moles x Atomic weight

No. of Moles of Hydrogen =   \frac{Given \\ weight\\  of\\  the\\  compound}{Molecular\\ weight\\  of\\  the compound} x No. of H-atoms in molecule                          

No. of Moles of Hydrogen =10.48/ 18 = 0.58 x 2 = 1.16 moles

Mass of Hydrogen = 1.16 moles x 12 = 15.08 gm

  • Mass of Oxygen = Total weight of compound - (Weight of C & H)

                                       =   17.41 grams - ( 15.08 gm + 6.98 gm)
Mass of Oxygen  = 4.6 gm

Now,

Percentage of atom =  \frac{Mass \\ of \\ Atom}{Total\\  weight \\ of\\  compound}   x 100

  • Percentage of Carbon = 6.98 / 17.41 x 100 = 40 %
  • Percentage of Hydrogen = 15.08 / 17.41 x 100 = 86.61 %
  • Percentage of Oxygen = 4.6 / 17.41 x 100 = 26.42 %

How is Carbon returned to the atmosphere<br><br>Please help image below​
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

Carbon is released back into the atmosphere when organisms die, volcanoes erupt, fires blaze, fossil fuels are burned, and through a variety of other mechanisms.Humans play a major role in the carbon cycle through activities such as the burning of fossil fuels or land development.

The potential energy diagram shows the gain and loss of potential energy as water molecules decompose into hydrogen and oxygen.
Dovator [93]

Answer:

  • The<em> diagram</em> with the five<em> labels</em> of the parts is in the image attached. Please, see the image.

Explanation:

<u>1) General explanation:</u> a <em>potential chemical energy diagram</em> is used to show how the <em>reactants</em> gain energy until they reach the <em>activation energy</em>, form the <em>activated complex</em>, and release part of the energy to form the <em>products</em>.

The difference between the chemical potential energy of the products and the reactants is the <em>enthalpy of the reaction</em>:

  • ΔH rxn = ΔH products - ΔH reactants.

The labels that correspond to each part of the diagram are explained next.

<em><u>2) Reactants:</u></em>

This is the substances at the start, so they appear on the left bottom side of the diagram.

<em><u>3) Activation energy:</u></em>

It is the energy that the reactants must reach (the highest point) in order to the reaction occurs.

<u><em>4) Activated complex:</em></u>

This is the intermediate state and of highest energy. The reactants have formed a complex at mid way between the reactants and the products.

<u><em>5) Products:</em></u>

These are the substances formed when the reaction is completed. They are lower in energy than the activated complex. They can be either higher or lower in energy than the reactants. The products are shown to the right of the diagram.

<em><u>6) Enthalpy of the reaction:</u></em>

The enthalpy of the reaction is the difference in energy of the products and the reactants. In this case, since, the products are higher in energy, it means that the reaction absorbed energy and it is an endothermic reaction.
