Answer:

1. 2C2H6 + 7O2 —> 4CO2 + 6H2O

2. 56moles of O2

Explanation:

Ethane undergo Combustion to produce CO2 and H20 according the equation below:

C2H6 + O2 —> CO2 + H2O

Let us balance the equation. There are 6 atoms of H on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balanced by putting 3 in front of H2O as shown below:

C2H6 + O2 —> CO2 + 3H2O

There are 2 atoms of C on left and 1atom on the right. It can be balanced by putting 2 in front of CO2 as shown below:

C2H6 + O2 —> 2CO2 + 3H2O

There are a total of 7 atoms of O on the right and 2 atoms on the left. It can be balanced by putting 7/2 in front of O2 as shown below:

C2H6 + 7/2O2 —> 2CO2 + 3H2O

Now we multiply through by 2 to remove the fraction as shown below

2C2H6 + 7O2 —> 4CO2 + 6H2O

Now the equation is balanced

2. 2C2H6 + 7O2 —> 4CO2 + 6H2O

From the equation above,

2 moles of ethane(C2H6) combined with 7moles of O2.

Therefore, 16moles of ethane(C2H6) will combine with = (16x7)/2 = 56moles of O2

Consider these ground-state ionization energies of oneelectron species:
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Explanation:

general expression for the ionization energy of any one-electron species.

=  z² x ground level energy / n²

z is atomic no , n is energy level .

ground level energy of

 H = 1.31 x 10³ kJ/mol

He⁺ = 2² x  1.31 x 10³ kJ/mol  =  5.24 x 10³ kJ/mol

Li²⁺ = 3² x  1.31 x 10³ kJ/mol   = 1.18 x 10⁴ kJ/mol

b ) the ionization energy of B⁴⁺.

= 5² x 1.31 x 10³ kJ/mol  = 32.75 x 10³ kJ/mol  

c )  minimum energy required to remove the electron from the n = 3 level of He⁺ per mole

= 5.24 x 10³ / 9  kJ/mol

= 5.82 x 10² kJ/mol

= 5.82 x 10² x 10³ / 6.02 x 10²³ J

.9667 X 10⁻¹⁸ J

= .9667 X 10⁻¹⁸ / 1.6 X 10⁻¹⁹ eV

= 6.042 eV

= 1237.5 / 6.042

= 204.82 nm

Some of the physical properties used to distinguish between the three groups are: _________
Pavlova-9 [17]

The Group 3A metals have three valence electrons in their highest-energy orbitals (ns2p1). They have higher ionization energies than the Group 1A and 2A elements, and are ionized to form a 3+ charges. The Group 3A metals are silvery in appearance, and like all metals are good conductors of electricity.
