Answer:

CH

Explanation:

When a hydrocarbon burns, there are only two products. These are hydrogen and carbon iv oxide. The general equation for burning a hydrocarbon is shown below:

Fuel + O2 → CO2 + H2O

Since 9g Of water is formed, we can get the number of moles of hydrogen and the mass of hydrogen.

We now need to get the actual moles of carbon and hydrogen in the hydrocarbon to know what the chemical formula is.

The number of moles of hydrogen and its mass can be obtained from that of water. The number of moles of water is simply the mass of water divided by the molar mass. The molar mass of water is 18g/mol. The number of moles is thus 9/18 which is 0.5. Since there are two atoms of hydrogen in one molecule of water, the number of moles of hydrogen is thus 2 * 0.5 which equals one mole.

The mass of hydrogen is thus the number of moles of hydrogen * the molar mass of hydrogen which is

1 * 1 = 1g

Hence, the mass of the carbon in the hydrocarbon is 13 - 1 = 12g

The number of moles of carbon present is thus 12/12 which equals 1.

Since the mole ratio is 1 to 1 , the formula of the hydrocarbon is thus CH

Explain your observations in term of how tempurature affects paritcle motion and how liquid changes to a solid
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Temperature is defined as a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a body.

When a substance is heated, the kinetic energy of its molecules increases as the temperature increases; hence the particles of the substance moves faster with increasing temperature.

When heat is withdrawn from a liquid, the temperature decreases and the average kinetic energy of the molecules decreases. The molecules become less energetic hence the liquid changes into solid

Para la siguiente reacción química demuestre que cumple con la Ley de la Conservación de la Materia. Recuerde que debe justifica
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

In this chemical reaction, which is considered irreversible, that is why the reaction arrow is ONE and unidirectional and not two in opposite directions, which means reversibility of the reaction.

In summary, if we look closely at the reaction, we observe that the stoichiometric values are balanced in the reaction, therefore there is THE SAME AMOUNT OF REAGENTS AS PRODUCTS.

This phenomenon has to be met in ALL CHEMICAL REACTIONS, the stoichiometric balance is essential for this reaction to be well expressed.

Why is stoichiometric balance so important? Why we indicate that we have the same amount of reagents as products, means that NOTHING IS LOST, EVERYTHING IS TRANSFORMED in the matter of the organic compounds that reacted.

Explanation:

Although if we observe the stoichiometric values well they are not correct with respect to oxygen, therefore it would be necessary to correct that in the chemical reaction, but above we briefly explain why the balancing of the reactions and the relationship they have with the conservation of the mass.

The law of conservation of mass indicates that mass is never lost, but is transformed, like energy, considering that it happens in terrestrial life.

Which half-reaction can occur at the anode in a
alexira [117]
The answer is (3). The reaction that can occur at the anode is oxidation reaction which will lose electrons. So (1) and (2) are not correct. For (4) Fe3+ can not lose electrons again.
