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 %

ollegr [7]

Answer:

rate = kxyz

Explanation:

It is worth knowing that the rate low can only be determined by experimentation only not by just balancing equations. So here we are told that all the reactants x , y and z are all first order. This is important because we use this as exponents. That is why the exponents of all the reactants will be 1.

rate = kxyz

shtirl [24]
The skin consists of two layers: the epidermis and the dermis. Beneath the dermis lies the hypodermis or subcutaneous fatty tissue. The skin has three main functions: protection, regulation and sensation. Wounding affects all the functions of the skin. The skin protects us from microbes and the elements, helps regulate body temperature, and permits the sensations of touch, heat, and cold. Skin has three layers: The epidermis, the outermost layer of skin, provides a waterproof barrier and creates our skin tone.
