If the pressure of 1.5 moles of a gas is 2 atm and the temperature is 27°C, what is the volume of the gas?

Please help I need the answer now. Write a balanced equation for combustion of pentane in plenty supply of air and in limited su

Ratling [72]

Pentane burns in plenty of air: CO₂ and H₂O is produced.

C₅H₁₂ + 8 O₂ → 5 CO₂ + 6 H₂O

Pentane burns in limited amount of air: CO or even C is produced along with H₂O.

2 C₅H₁₂ + 11 O₂ → 10 CO + 12 H₂O

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Pentane is a hydrocarbon. There are five carbon atoms in each of its molecule. Its molecular formula will be C₅H₁₂.

Hydrocarbon fuels burn to produce CO₂ when there's plenty of air.

? C₅H₁₂ + ? O₂ → ? CO₂ + ? H₂O

Among all species in this reaction, C₅H₁₂ has the largest number of atoms per molecule. Assume that the coefficient of C₅H₁₂ is one.

1 C₅H₁₂ + ? O₂ → ? CO₂ + ? H₂O

C₅H₁₂ is the only reactant that contains C atoms. There are 5 C atoms in a C₅H₁₂ molecule. There should be the same number of C atoms in the products.
CO₂ is the only product that contains C atoms. There are one C atom in each CO₂ molecule. 5 C atoms correspond to 5 CO₂ molecules.

1 C₅H₁₂ + ? O₂ → 5 CO₂ + ? H₂O

Similarly, C₅H₁₂ is the only reactant that contains H atoms. H₂O is the only product that contains H atoms. There are 12 H atoms in one C₅H₁₂ molecule, which corresponds to 6 H₂O molecules.

1 C₅H₁₂ + ? O₂ → 5 CO₂ + 6 H₂O

Both CO₂ and H₂O are products that contains O atoms. There are 5 × 2 + 6 × 1 = 16 O atoms in total in 5 CO₂ molecules and 6 H₂O molecules. The 16 O atoms on the product side corresponds to 8 O₂ molecules on the reactant side.

1 C₅H₁₂ + 8 O₂ → 5 CO₂ + 6 H₂O

1 C₅H₁₂ + 8 O₂ → 5 CO₂ + 6 H₂O

All coefficients shall be whole numbers. If there's any fraction in this equation, multiply both sides by the least common multiple of their denominators.

Hydrocarbon fuels burn to produce H₂O and CO when there's a limited supply of air. C (soot) might also be produced. Assuming that only CO is produced. Try to balance the equation using the same method.

1 C₅H₁₂ + 11/2 O₂ → 5 CO + 6 H₂O

2 C₅H₁₂ + 11 O₂ → 10 CO + 12 H₂O

Less O₂ is consumed for each mole of C₅H₁₂.

Consider: What would be the balanced equation when only C is produced?

Why does such a small decrease in pH mean such a large increase in acidity?

den301095 [7]

Answer:

pH is an index of how many protons, or hydrogen ions (H+) are dissolved and free in a solution. The pH scale goes from 0 to 14. A fluid with a pH of 7 is neutral. Below 7, it is acidic; above 7, it is alkaline.

The more below or above 7 a solution is, the more acidic or alkaline it is. The scale is not linear—a drop from pH 8.2 to 8.1 indicates a 30 percent increase in acidity, or concentration of hydrogen ions; a drop from 8.1 to 7.9 indicates a 150 percent increase in acidity. Bottom line: Small-sounding changes in ocean pH are actually quite large and definitely in the direction of becoming less alkaline, which is the same as becoming more acidic.

If you think about it, we use descriptive words like this all the time. A person who stands 5’5” tall and weighs 300 pounds isn’t thin. If he loses 100 pounds, he still won’t be thin, but he will be thinner than he was before he went on the diet. (And we are more likely to comment that he’s looking trimmer than to say he’s not as fat as he used to be.)

A gaseous mixture contains 443.0 Torr H 2 ( g ) , 369.9 Torr N 2 ( g ) , and 82.7 Torr Ar ( g ) . Calculate the mole fraction, χ

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

χH₂ = 0.4946

χN₂ = 0.4130

χAr = 0.0923

Explanation:

The total pressure of the mixture (P) is:

P = pH₂ + pN₂ + pAr

P = 443.0 Torr + 369.9 Torr + 82.7 Torr

P = 895.6 Torr

We can find the mole fraction of each gas (χ) using the following expression.

χi = pi / P

χH₂ = pH₂ / P = 443.0 Torr/895.6 Torr = 0.4946

χN₂ = pN₂ / P = 369.9 Torr/895.6 Torr = 0.4130

χAr = pAr / P = 82.7 Torr/895.6 Torr = 0.0923
