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

How is the Delta Hf related to the delta H of <br> a reaction?
artcher [175]

Answer:

n a chemical reaction, delta H represents the sum of the heats of formation, commonly measured in kilojoules per mol (kJ/mol), of the products minus the sum of those of the reactants. The letter H in this form is equal to a thermodynamic quantity called enthalpy, representing the total heat content of a system.

aluminum has a density or 2.7g/cm3. copper has a density of 8.96/cm3. which metal would you choose to build a model airplane?
erik [133]

Answer: Aluminium

Explanation: Aluminium metal has a lower density than copper. So, for the same volume of metal used to build a model airplane, the aluminium plane would be very lightweight while that of copper would be heavy.  The lightweight airplane will fly easily.

How many molecules are in 128g of H2O?
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

4.28x10^24 molecules

Explanation:

From Avogadro's hypothesis, 1mole of any substance contains 6.02x10^23 molecules. From the above, we understood that 1mole of H2O also contains 6.02x10^23 molecules.

1mole of H2O = (2x1) + 16 = 2 + 16 = 18g

Now, if 18g of H2O contains 6.02x10^23 molecules,

Then 128g of H2O will contain = (128x 6.02x10^23) /18 = 4.28x10^24 molecules

A 104 m3 thoroughly mixed pond has a water inflow and outflow of 5 m3/h. The inflow water contains 0.01 mol/m3 of chemical. Chem
Naily [24]

Answer:

C ≈ 1.44 × 10⁻³ mol/m³

Explanation:

The given information are;

The liquid volume the pond can hold = 104 m³

The volume of inflow into the pond = 5 m³/h

The volume of outflow into the pond = 5 m³/h

The concentration of the chemical in the inflow water = 0.01 mol/m³

The concentration of the chemical discharged directly into the water = 0.1 mol/h

The concentration, c_{(inflow)}, of chemical that enters the water through inflow per hour is given as follows;

c_{(inflow)} = 0.01 mol/m³ × 5 m³/h = 0.05 mol/h

The concentration, c_{(discharge)}, of chemical that enters the water through direct discharge per hour is given as follows;

c_{(discharge)} = 0.1 mol/h

The total concentration that enters the pond per hour is given as follows;

c_{(inflow)} + c_{(discharge)} = 0.1 mol/h + 0.05 mol/h = 0.15 mol/h

Whereby the water in the pond properly mixes with the pond, we have;

The concentration of chemicals (C) in the outflow water = 0.15 mol/(104 m³) ≈ 0.00144 mol/m³

C ≈ 1.44 × 10⁻³ mol/m³.

A green powder was placed into a beaker of water. After it was stirred
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

A solution was NOT formed.

Explanation:

For a solution to be formed, the green powder would need to dissolve in the water to form a homogenous mixture. But since the water was cloudy and had lumps of the green powder, it means that the powder did not dissolve, but instead remained insoluble.
