Balance the combustion eqation; C5H + O2 ---> CO2+H2O

1 answer:

8 0

This equation C5H + O2 ---> CO2 + H2O has a mistake.

C5H is wrong. You missed the subscript of H.

I will do it for you assuming some subscript to show you the procedure, but you have to use the right equation to get the right balanced equation.

Assuming the tha combustion equation is C5H12 + O2 ---> CO2 + H2O

First you need to balance C, so you put a 5 before CO2 and get

C5H12 + O2 ---> 5CO2 + H2O

Now you count the hydrogens: 12 on the left and 2 on the right. So put a 6 before H2O and get:

C5H12 + O2 ---> 5CO2 + 6H2O

Now count the oxygens: 2 on the left and 16 on the right, so put an 8 on before O2:

=> C5H12 + 8O2 ---> 5CO2 + 6H2O.

You can verify that the equation is balanced

What is the ultimate end of a high mass star that has a core about 2.8x the mass of our sun?

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

It is formed after the star has ended its star cycle into a supernova. The star collapsed into a neutron star that is smaller than the progenitor star but has inherited angular momentum. IT, therefore, spins faster emitting electromagnetic radiation that seems to pulsate.

What is the molality of an aqueous solution containing FeCl3 (MM = 162.2 g/mol) with a mole fraction of FeCl3 of 0.15?

Natalka [10]

Answer:

10 m

Explanation:

The mole fraction of FeCl₃ of 0.15, that is, per mole of solution, there are 0.15 moles of FeCl₃ and 1 - 0.15 = 0.85 moles of water.

The molar mass of water is 18.02 g/mol. The mass corresponding to 0.85 moles is:

0.85 mol × 18.02 g/mol = 15 g = 0.015 kg

The molality of FeCl₃ is:

m = moles of solute / kilogram of solvent

m = 0.15 mol / 0.015 kg

m = 10 m

Elements occur in a number of isotopic forms. In this problem, you will learn about the notation used to distinguish different i

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

Number of protons, Z = 14
Number of neutrons, N = 14

Explanation:

1) About isotopes:

Isotopes are different kind of atoms of the same element. Hence, they have the atomic number (Z), which is the number of protons, the same number of electrons (talking about to neutral atoms, not ions), and different number of neutrons N).

This is, it is the number of neutrons what distinguish different isotopes of an element.

2) About the notation used to distinguish different isotopes:

A superscript and a subscript, both to the left of the chemical symbol of the element, are used to distinguish different isotopes:

A ←------------- This superscript tells the mass number of the isotope

X ←--------- This is the chemical symbol of the element

Z ←-------------- This subscript is the atomic number of isotope

In our case, the notiation for the isotope of silicon is: ²⁸₁₄ Si

So, we have:

28 is the mass number (A)
14 is the atomic number (Z)
Si is the chemical symbol.

Now, you can answer the questions of the part A:

Number of protons: Z = 14

Number of neutrons N:

mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons

A = Z + N

⇒ N = A - Z = 28 - 14 = 14

In conclusion:

Number of protons, Z = 14
Number of neutrons, N = 14
