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.

When sodium is put in water, the metal floats on the surface and reacts to form sodium

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer: Sodium also floats on the surface, but enough heat is given off to melt the sodium (sodium has a lower melting point than lithium and the reaction produces heat faster) and it melts almost at once to form a small silvery ball that dashes around the surface.

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

A. The partial pressure for CH4 = 0.0925atm

B. The partial pressure for C2H6 = 0.925atm

C. The partial pressure for C3H8 = 0.346atm

D. The partial pressure for C4H10 = 0.115atm

Explanation:

Total pressure = 1.48atm

Total mole = 0.4+4+1.5+0.5=6.4

A. Mole fraction of CH4 = 0.4/6.4 = 0.0625

The partial pressure for CH4 = 0.0625 x 1.48 = 0.0925atm

B. Mole fraction of C2H6 = 4/6.4 = 0.625

The partial pressure for C2H6 = 0.625 x 1.48 = 0.925atm

C. Mole fraction of C3H8 = 1.5/6.4 = 0.234

The partial pressure for C3H8 = 0.234 x 1.48 = 0.346atm

D. Mole fraction of C4H10 = 0.5/6.4 = 0.078

The partial pressure for C4H10 = 0.078 x 1.48 = 0.115atm

An ionic bond forms when atoms blank electrons

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

An ionic bond forms when atoms transfer electrons.

Explanation:

Ionic bonds are formed when atoms transfer electrons. (In contrast, covalent bonds are formed when atoms share electrons.)

There's a distinction between the two: when two atoms react to form an ionic bond, one atom would completely lose one electron, while the other would completely gain that electron. The atom that loses the electron becomes a positively-charged ion called a cation, whereas the atom that gains the electron becomes a negatively-charged ion called an anion.

For example, consider the reaction between a sodium $\rm Na$ atom and a chlorine $\rm Cl$ atom: $\rm Na + Cl \to NaCl$ .

When the sodium atom and the chlorine atom encounter, the sodium atom would lose one electron to form a positively-charged sodium ion, $\rm Na^{+}$ . The chlorine atom would gain that electron to form a negatively-charged chlorine ion $\rm Cl^{-}$ .

These two ions will readily attract each other because of the opposite electrostatic charges on them. This electrostatic attraction (between two ions of opposite charges) is an ionic bond.

Overall, it would appear as if the sodium $\rm Na$ atom transferred an electron to the chlorine $\rm Cl$ atom to form an ionic bond.

In contrast, when two atoms react to form a covalent bond, they share electrons without giving any away completely. Therefore, it is possible to break certain covalent bonds apart (using a beam of laser, for example) and obtain neutral atoms.

On the other hand, when an ionic bond was broken, the result would be two charged ions- not necessarily two neutral atoms. The electron transfer could not be reversed by simply breaking the bond.

For example, when table salt $\rm NaCl$ is melted (at a very high temperature,) the ionic bond between the sodium ions and chloride ions would (mostly) be broken. However, doing so would only generate a mixture of $\rm Na^{+}$ and $\rm Cl^{-}$ ions- not sodium and chlorine atoms.
