The combustion of the fatty acid called stearic acid has the  the complete equation; C18H36O2(s) + 26O2(g) ------> 18CO2 (g) + 18 H2O(g)

<h3>What is combustion?</h3>

The term combustion has to do with the burning of a substance in air. For organic compounds, we get carbon dioxide and water as the products.

Thus, for the combustion of the fatty acid called stearic acid, the complete equation is; C18H36O2(s) + 26O2(g) ------> 18CO2 (g) + 18 H2O(g)

Which has more kenetic energy: A 150 g bullet fired from a gun achieving a velocity of 440 m/s and a standard baseball weighing
aleksley [76]

Answer:

Bullet has more kinetic energy then baseball.

Explanation:

Mass of the bullet , m = 150 g = 0.150 kg

Velocity of the bullet = v = 440 m/s

Kinetic energy =\frac{1}{2}\times mass\times (velocity)^2

Kinetic energy of the bullet = K.E

K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.150 kg\times (440 m/s)^2

=14,520 Joules

Mass of the baseball, m' = \frac{51}{4} oz= 0.36146 kg

(1 ounce = 0.0283495 kg)

Velocity of the baseball= v' = 105.1 mph

1 mile = 1609.34 m

1 hour = 3600 seconds

v'=\frac{ 105.1\times 1609.34 m}{3600 s}=46.98 m/s

Kinetic energy of the baseball = K.E'

K.E'=\frac{1}{2}m'v'^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.36146 kg\times (46.98 m/s)^2

=398.83 Joules

14,520 Joules > 398.83 Joules

K.E > K.E'

Bullet has more kinetic energy then baseball.

The equilibrium: 2 NO2(g) \Longleftrightarrow&amp;iff; N2O4(g) has Kc = 4.7 at 100ºC. What is true about the rates of the forwar
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

  • Initial: forward rate > reverse rate
  • Equilibrium: forward rate = reverse rate

Explanation:

2NO₂(g) → N₂O₄(g)   Kc=4.7

The definition of <em>equilibrium</em> is when the forward rate and the reverse rate are <em>equal</em>.

Because in the initial state there's only NO₂, there's no possibility for the reverse reaction (from N₂O₄ to NO₂). Thus the forward rate will be larger than the reverse rate.

What is the mass of 4.5 moles of nitrogen monoxide
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

135.027

Explanation:

Take the molar mass (from the periodic table) of Nitrogen (14.007) and Oxygen (15.999)

Add them together: 30.006 (this is 1 mole of NO)

30.006x4.5=135.027g

A solution is prepared from 8 grams of acetic acid (CH2CO2H) and 725 grams of water. What is the molarity of this solution?
Andrews [41]
Hello!

First, we can assume the density of water to be 1 g/mL, so the volume of water would be 725 mL. The density of Acetic Acid (Pure) is 1,05 g/mL so 8 grams would represent 7,61 mL

Now we can apply the following conversion factor to calculate the molarity of the solution, using the molar mass of Acetic Acid:

[CH_3CO_2H]=\frac{8 g_{CH_3CO_2H}  }{725 mL + 7,61 mL}* \frac{1000 mL}{1 L}* \frac{1 mol_{CH_3CO_2H} }{60,05 g_{CH_3CO_2H} }

[CH_3CO_2H]=0,1818 M

So, the concentration of acetic acid would be 0,1818 M

Have a nice day!
