41.4 grams of oxygen is essentially required for complete combustion of 3 moles of butane gas.

<h3>What is combustion?</h3>
  • Combustion is a chemical reaction that often involves the presence of oxygen and produces heat and light in the form of flames.
  • Because of the nature of the chemical reaction and the fact that more energy is produced than can be released into the surrounding medium, the rate or speed at which the reactants combine is high.
  • As a result, the temperature of the reactants is increased, accelerating the process even further.

As you know, combustion reaction is a chemical reaction in which a substance reacts with the atmospheric oxygen (O₂) to produce carbon dioxide and water. Therefore, balanced combustion reaction of butane (C₄H₁₀) will be as follows:

C₄H₁₀+\frac{13}{2}O₂→4CO₂+5H₂O

You can observe in the above reaction that, \frac{13}{2} moles of oxygen are required for combustion of 1 mole of butane.

Therefore, going by unitary method, for complete combustion of 3 moles of butane, (\frac{13}{2}×0.398) moles of oxygen would be required.

Now, we know, number of moles = \frac{Given mass}{Molar mass}

Molar mass of oxygen is 16 g/mol

We need to find a given mass which is the mass of oxygen required when the number of moles is equal to 2.59.

Thus, given mass of oxygen or mass of oxygen required = number of moles of oxygen × molar mass of oxygen

Mass of oxygen required = 2.59 moles × 16 g/mol = 41.4 g.

Hence, 41.4 grams of oxygen is essentially required for complete combustion of 3 moles of butane gas.

The mass of a radioactive substance follows a continuous exponential decay model, with a decay rate parameter of 8.1% per day. f
Elanso [62]
The general equation for radioactive decay is;
N = N₀e^(-λt)
x - decay constant (λ) - rate of decay 
t-  time 
N - amount remaining after t days , since we are calculating the half life, amount of time it takes for the substance to to be half its original value, its N₀/2
N₀ - amount initially present 
substituting the values 
N₀/2 = N₀e^(-0.081t)
0.5 = e^(-0.081t)
ln (0.5) = -0.081t
-0.693 = -0.081t
t = 0.693 / 0.081 
  = 8.55
half life of substance is 8.55 days

Phosphorus pentachloride decomposes to phosphorus trichloride at high temperatures according to the equation:
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

D) [PCl5]=0.00765M,[PCl3]=0.117M,and [Cl2]=0.0.117M

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

PCl₅(g) ⇄ PCl₃(g) + Cl₂(g)

And knowing:

Kc = [PCl₃] [Cl₂] / [PCl₅] = 1.80

When you add PCl₅ into a flask, this gas will react producing PCl₃ and Cl₂ until [PCl₃] [Cl₂] / [PCl₅] = 1.80

This could be written as:

[PCl₃] = X

[Cl₂] = X

[PCl₅] = 0.125M - X

<em>Where X represents the moles of PCl₅ that react, </em><em>reaction coordinate.</em>

Replacing in Kc expression:

[PCl₃] [Cl₂] / [PCl₅] = 1.80

[X [X] / [0.125 - X] = 1.80

X² = 0.225 - 1.80X

0 = -X² -1.80X + 0.225

Solving for X:

X = -1.9M → False solution, there is no negative concentrations

X = 0.11735M → Right solution.

Replacing, concentrations in equilibrium are:

[PCl₃] = X

[Cl₂] = X

[PCl₅] = 0.125M - X

[PCl₃] = 0.117M

[Cl₂] = 0.117M

[PCl₅] = 0.00765M

And right option is:

<h3>D) [PCl5]=0.00765M,[PCl3]=0.117M,and [Cl2]=0.0.117M</h3>
