Answer:

1) When 69.9 g heptane is burned it releases 5.6 mol water.

2) C₇H₁₆ + 11O₂ → 7CO₂ + 8H₂O.

Explanation:

Firstly, we should balance the equation of heptane combustion.

The balanced equation is: C₇H₁₆ + 11O₂ → 7CO₂ + 8H₂O.

This means that every 1.0 mole of complete combustion of heptane will release 8 moles of H₂O.

We need to calculate the no. of moles in 69.9 g of heptane that is burned using the relation: n = mass/molar mass.

n of 69.9 g of heptane = mass/molar mass = (69.9 g)/(100.21 g/mol) = 0.697 mol ≅ 0.7 mol.

Using cross multiplication:

1.0 mol of heptane releases → 8 moles of water.

0.7 mol of heptane releases → ??? moles of water.

∴ The no. of moles of water that will be released from burning (69.9 g) of water = (0.7 mol)(8.0 mol)/(1.0 mol) = 5.6 mol.

∴ When 69.9 g heptane is burned it releases 5.6 mol water.

Complete the sentences to explain your reasoning.

vredina [299]

Answer:

1-b

2-weaker(option is incorrect)

3-a

Explanation:

1-b because iodine is more electronegative because of this negative on iodine will be more stable as negative charge on more electronegative element is more stable.

2-weaker as size of Te (Tellurium) is greater than S (sulphur) so bond length of H-Te is larger than H-S and therefore bond energy will be lesser and can easily give hydrogen in case of H-Te. as bond energy is inversly proportional to bond length.

3-a hydrogen has more negative electron affinity so hydrogen will have -1 charge and it will behave as a electron donar atom that is basic not acidic hence NaH is not acidic.

Draw a Lewis structure for C2H3Cl. Show all unshared electron pairs. None of the atoms bears a formal charge, and all atoms have

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

See picture below

Explanation:

To do this, we first need to know how are the bonds in this molecule are. To do so, let's calculate the number of insaturations in the molecule:

n°I = C+1 - (H-N+X)/2

These numbers indicate if the molecule has double bond, triple bond, ring, cyclo, among other options:

n°I = 3 - (3+1)/2

n°I = 1

As it's a very small molecule, we can assume this molecule only have a double bond, and it's an alkene.

So the lewis structure, shows the electrons and the bonding, and also shows the unshared electron pairs, depending on how much electron have each molecule.

In the case of carbon:

[C] = [He] 2s2 2p2 ----> 4 electrons

[H] = 1s1 ----> 1 electron

[Cl] = [Ne] 3s2 3p5 ----> 7 electrons.

Therefore, we also know that Carbon has a double bond, so, the main molecule would have something like this:

C = C

so next to the carbons, we can put two hydrogens and in the other carbon, the chlorine and the remaining hydrogen.
