The percentage of excess air used during combustion process of ethane will be 37 %.

Burning, also known as combustion, would be a high-temperature highly exothermic chemical process that occurs when an oxidant, typically atmospheric oxygen, interacts with a fuel to generate oxidized, frequently gaseous products in a mixture known as smoke.

Calculation of percentage of air .

C_{2} H_{6} + (1-x)+a(O_{2} +3.76N_{2} )=bCO_{2}  + cH_{2} O + axO_{2}  + 3.76dN_{2} .

Mair=Mair/Rin

( MN)O_{2} + (MN)N_{2}÷ (MN)O_{2} + (MN)N_{2} +(MN)C_{2} H_{6} .

33 . 3.25(1-x) + 28 × 13.16(1-x) ÷ 33 × 3.25(1-x) + 28 × 13.16(1-x). + 30.1

= 176/176+8

X= 0.37

0.37 × 100

X= 37%

Therefore, the percentage of excess air used during combustion process of ethane will be 37 %.

Which of the following is true about nuclear fusion
Sonja [21]

Answer:

 i would assume that it would be (a)

Explanation:

The Sun generates its energy by nuclear fusion

NUCLEAR FISSION is when the heavy atom is split

fusion energy is scientifically feasible. Plasma conditions that are very close to those required in a fusion reactor are now routinely reached in experiments

mass gets lost is nuclear fusion

so (a) is the most accurate

Answer:

V = 80.65L

Explanation:

Volume = ?

Number of moles n = 5 mol

Temperature (T) = 393.15K

Pressure = 1520mmHg

Ideal gas constant (R) = 62.363mmHg.L/mol.K

According to ideal gas law,

PV = nRT

P = pressure of the ideal gas

V = volume the gas occupies

n = number of moles of the gas

R = ideal gas constant (note this can varies depending on the unit of your variables)

T = temperature of the ideal gas

PV = nRT

Solve for V,

V = nRT / P

V = (5 * 62.363 * 393.15) / 1520

V = 80.65L

The volume the gas occupies is 80.65L

What is altered by a catalyst?
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:Effect of Catalysts on the Activation Energy. Catalysts provide a new reaction pathway in which a lower Activation energy is offered. A catalyst increases the rate of a reaction by lowering the activation energy so that more reactant molecules collide with enough energy to surmount the smaller energy barrier.

Which of the following is true regarding the law of conservation of mass
Luda [366]
These are the answer options of this question and the comments about their validity:

<span>A) It dictates that the number of molecules on each side of a chemical equation must be the same.

False: the number of molecules can change. Take this simple reaction for example:

2H2(g) +  O2 -> 2H2O

You start with 3 molecules, 2 molecules of H2 and 1 molecule of O2, and end with 2 molecules of water. Then the number of molecules of each side is different.



B) It dictates that the number of atoms of each element must be the same on both sides of a chemical equation.

TRUE: in a chemical reaction the atoms remain being the same at start and at the end of the process. Given that each atom has a characteristic mass, their conservation implies the law of conservation mass.


C) It states that the mass of the reactants must remain constant in order for a chemical reaction to proceed.

FALSE. The mass of the reactants changes during a chemical reaction, while they transform into the products.

D) It does not apply to chemical reactions.

FALSE: It is an important law used in the calculus related with chemical reactions.
