PLEASE HELP!?!.!,! What are the products of the combustion of a hydrocarbon?
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

carbon dioxide and water

Explanation:

Example: Combustion of Methane (CH₄(g))

CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g) => CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(g)**

____________________

Note: The combustion of any hydrocarbon produces CO₂ & H₂O. That is,

Ethane (C₂H₆) + O₂ => CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

Propane (C₃H₈) + O₂ => CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

Butane (C₄H₁₀) + O₂ => CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

The issue remaining is to balance the reaction equation. For these type equation balance Carbon 1st, then Hydrogen and finish with Oxygen. Balancing in this order leaves Oxygen which can be balanced using fractions. If problem requires lowest whole number ratios of elements, simply multiply entire equation by 2 to get standard equation*

______________________

*Standard Equation is defined as the smallest whole number ratios of elements. The 'standard equation' is significant in that it is assumed to be at STP conditions; i.e., 0⁰C (=273K) & 1.0 Atmosphere pressure.

  • Ethane (C₂H₆) + 7/2O₂(g) => 2CO₂(g) + 3H₂O(g)

    => 2C₂H₆ + 7O₂(g) => 4CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(g)  <= Standard Form of Rxn

  • Propane (C₃H₈) + 5O₂(g) => 3CO₂(g) + 4H₂O(g) <= Standard Form of Rxn (no need to balance with the '2' multiple)
  • Butane (C₄H₁₀) + 13/2O₂ => 4CO₂(g) + 5H₂O(g)

    => 2C₃H₈ + 13O₂(g) => 4CO₂(g) + 5H₂O(g) <= Standard Form of Rxn

______________________

**Also, note that water, H₂O(g), is listed as a gas. In some cases it will be listed as a liquid, H₂O(l).

a 108ml sampl of gas has a mass of 77.96mg at a pressure of 1140mmhg and temperature of 183°c .what is the molar mass of the gas
madam [21]

Answer:

146.85 g/mol

Explanation:

PV=nRT

n=mass/molar mass

covert from mmhg to atm = 0.184 atm

convert from ml to L= 0.108 L

convert from degree C to K= 456.15 K

convert from mg to g= 0.07796g

then rearrange the formula:

n=PV/RT

=(0.184)(0.108)/(0.08206)(456.15)

n= 5.308*10^(-4)

rearrange the n formula interms of molar mass:

Molar mass= mass/n

=0.07796/(5.308*10^-4)

molar mass= 146.85g/mol

The pH of a solution is measured eight times by one operator using the same instrument. She obtains the following data: 7.15, 7.
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

7.186

Explanation:

The mean is the average of some given data from a sample point.

To calculate the mean, we use the formula below:

             Mean = ∑fx/∑f

Where f = frequency

           x = sample data

   

From the given pH of the solutions, we can form a table:

      x                                     f                                          fx

    7.15                                  1                                         7.15

    7.16                                  1                                         7.16

    7.18                                  1                                         7.18

    7.19                                  1                                         7.19

    7.20                                 3                                        21.6

    7.21                                  1                                         7.21

Now ∑fx = 7.15 +7.16 +7.18 + 7.19 + 7.20 + 7.21 = 57.49

         ∑f = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 3 + 1 = 8

The mean = \frac{57.49}{8} = 7.18625 = 7.186

The compound methyl butanoate smells like apples. Its percent composition is 58.8% C, 9.9% H, and 31.4% O. What’s the empirical
blsea [12.9K]
To find the empirical formula you would first need to find the moles of each element:

58.8g/ 12.0g = 4.9 mol C

9.9g/ 1.0g = 9.9 mol H

31.4g/ 16.0g = 1.96 O

Then you divide by the smallest number of moles of each:

4.9/1.96 = 2.5

9.9/1.96 = 6

1.96/1.96 = 1

Since there is 2.5, you find the least number that makes each moles a whole number which is 2.

So the empirical formula is C5H12O2.

Select the missing words to complete the definition of buffer capacity. Buffer capacity is the _____________ of acid or base a b
horsena [70]

Answer:

amount, pH value.

Explanation:

The buffer range is the pH range in which the buffer performs optimally, i.e., neutralizes even when a strong acid or base is introduced to it and resists any major change in its pH value.

The buffer capacity is the amount of acid or base that can be added before the pH of the buffer solution changes significantly.

Thus, the final statement becomes,

Buffer capacity is the amount of acid or base a buffer can handle before pushing the pH value outside of the buffer range.
