Answer : The balanced equation for the complete combustion of cyclopentane will be :

2C_5H_{10}+15O_2\rightarrow 10CO_2+10H_2O

Explanation :

As we know that the hydrocarbons can undergo complete or incomplete combustion that depends on the amount of oxygen available.

Complete combustion : It takes place when there is a good supply of oxygen. In this, hydrocarbon react with the oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water as a product.

The general reaction will be :

\text{Hydrocarbon}+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O

Incomplete combustion : It takes place when there is a poor supply of oxygen. In this, hydrocarbon react with the oxygen to give carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and water as a product.

The general reaction will be :

\text{Hydrocarbon}+O_2\text{(limited)}\rightarrow CO+CO_2+H_2O

As per question, the complete combustion of cyclopentane react with oxygen to gives carbon dioxide and water as a product.

Therefore, the balanced chemical reaction will be :

2C_5H_{10}+15O_2\rightarrow 10CO_2+10H_2O

The decomposition reaction: SO,Cl, SO2 + Cl2, has a first order rate constant of 2.2 x 10's at 320 °C. If the initial concentrat
trapecia [35]

Answer :

(a) The concentration of SO_2Cl_2 after 1.00 hr will be 0.0037 M

(b) The concentration of SO_2Cl_2 after 1.00 day will be 0.00060 M

Explanation :

(a) The expression for first order reaction is:

[C_t]=[C_o]e^{-kt}

where,

[C_t] = concentration of SO_2Cl_2 at time 't'  = ?

[C_o] = concentration of SO_2Cl_2 at time '0' = 0.0040 M

k = rate constant = 2.2\times 10^{-5}s^{-1} (assuming the power of 10 from the correct source)

t = time = 1.00 hr = 3600 s (1 hr = 3600 s)

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

[C_t]=(0.0040)\times e^{-(2.2\times 10^{-5})\times (3600)}

[C_t]=0.0037M

Thus, the concentration of SO_2Cl_2 after 1.00 hr will be 0.0037 M

(b) The expression for first order reaction is:

[C_t]=[C_o]e^{-kt}

where,

[C_t] = concentration of SO_2Cl_2 at time 't'  = ?

[C_o] = concentration of SO_2Cl_2 at time '0' = 0.0040 M

k = rate constant = 2.2\times 10^{-5}s^{-1}

t = time = 1.00 day = 86400 s (1 day = 86400 s)

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

[C_t]=(0.0040)\times e^{-(2.2\times 10^{-5})\times (86400)}

[C_t]=0.00060M

Thus, the concentration of SO_2Cl_2 after 1.00 day will be 0.00060 M
