<u>Answer</u>

So this is the reaction that happens. 
<span>C4H10 + O2 = CO2 + H2O </span>

<span>Balanced, it is </span>
<span>2C4H10 + 8O2 = 8CO2 + 10H2O </span>

<span>Given 1 kg or 1000 g of butane, use stoichiometry aka factor labeling aka conversions and mole ratios to get to grams of oxygen. </span>

<span>I'll do an example. Let's form water. Hydrogen is diatomic too. </span>
<span>2H2 + O2 = 2H2O </span>

<span>Given 1000 g of Hydrogen, I need to know how many grams of oxygen to use. To convert grams to moles,
I know that 1 mol of H2 equals 2.02 g. Then, for every mole of O2, there are 2 moles of H2. Then converting moles of O2 to grams, I know that one mole of it equals 32 grams. </span>
<span>[1000 g H2] x [1 mol H2/2.02 g H2] x [1 mol O2/2 mol H2] x [32 g O2/1 mol O2] </span>

<span>My answer would be  7.9 kg </span>

When PCl5 solidifies it forms PCl4+ cations and PCl6– anions. According to valence bond theory, what hybrid orbitals are used by
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

sp³

Explanation:

Number of hybrid orbitals = ( V + S - C + A ) / 2

Where

H is the number of hybrid orbitals

V is the valence electrons of the central atom = 5

S is the number of single valency atoms = 4

C is the number of cations = 1

A is the number of anions = 0

For PCl₄⁺

Applying the values, we get:

H = ( 5+4-1+0) / 2

= 4

<u>This corresponds to sp³ hybridization.</u>

Explain transmethylation reaction of amino acids.
tester [92]

Answer:Transamination, a chemical reaction that transfers an amino group to a ketoacid to form new amino acids. This pathway is responsible for the deamination of most amino acids. This is one of the major degradation pathways which convert essential amino acids to non-essential amino acids (amino acids that can be synthesized de novo by the organism).

a steel cylinder is left out in the sun the pressure at 2:00 pm was 1014 kpa at 33.0 c at 7:00 am at a temperature of 21.4c what
e-lub [12.9K]
The easiest way is to use the Law of Gay-Lussac. This law states that there is a direct relation between the temperature in Kelvin of a gas and the pressure.

Then, namig p the pressure and T the temperature in Kelvin and using subscripts for every state:

p/T is constant ==> p_1 / T_1 = p_2/T_2

From which you obtain:

p_2 = [p_1 / T_1] * T_2

T_1 = 33.0 + 273.15 = 306.15 K
T _2 = 21.4 + 273.15 = 294.55 K

p_1 = 1014 kPa

p_2 = 1014 kPa * 294.55 K / 306.15 K = 975.6 kPa
