Changing the volume increases the area that the molecules collide with so the force is spread over a larger area.

Please help I need the answer now. Write a balanced equation for combustion of pentane in plenty supply of air and in limited su

Ratling [72]

Pentane burns in plenty of air: CO₂ and H₂O is produced.

C₅H₁₂ + 8 O₂ → 5 CO₂ + 6 H₂O

Pentane burns in limited amount of air: CO or even C is produced along with H₂O.

2 C₅H₁₂ + 11 O₂ → 10 CO + 12 H₂O

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Pentane is a hydrocarbon. There are five carbon atoms in each of its molecule. Its molecular formula will be C₅H₁₂.

Hydrocarbon fuels burn to produce CO₂ when there's plenty of air.

? C₅H₁₂ + ? O₂ → ? CO₂ + ? H₂O

Among all species in this reaction, C₅H₁₂ has the largest number of atoms per molecule. Assume that the coefficient of C₅H₁₂ is one.

1 C₅H₁₂ + ? O₂ → ? CO₂ + ? H₂O

C₅H₁₂ is the only reactant that contains C atoms. There are 5 C atoms in a C₅H₁₂ molecule. There should be the same number of C atoms in the products.
CO₂ is the only product that contains C atoms. There are one C atom in each CO₂ molecule. 5 C atoms correspond to 5 CO₂ molecules.

1 C₅H₁₂ + ? O₂ → 5 CO₂ + ? H₂O

Similarly, C₅H₁₂ is the only reactant that contains H atoms. H₂O is the only product that contains H atoms. There are 12 H atoms in one C₅H₁₂ molecule, which corresponds to 6 H₂O molecules.

1 C₅H₁₂ + ? O₂ → 5 CO₂ + 6 H₂O

Both CO₂ and H₂O are products that contains O atoms. There are 5 × 2 + 6 × 1 = 16 O atoms in total in 5 CO₂ molecules and 6 H₂O molecules. The 16 O atoms on the product side corresponds to 8 O₂ molecules on the reactant side.

1 C₅H₁₂ + 8 O₂ → 5 CO₂ + 6 H₂O

1 C₅H₁₂ + 8 O₂ → 5 CO₂ + 6 H₂O

All coefficients shall be whole numbers. If there's any fraction in this equation, multiply both sides by the least common multiple of their denominators.

Hydrocarbon fuels burn to produce H₂O and CO when there's a limited supply of air. C (soot) might also be produced. Assuming that only CO is produced. Try to balance the equation using the same method.

1 C₅H₁₂ + 11/2 O₂ → 5 CO + 6 H₂O

2 C₅H₁₂ + 11 O₂ → 10 CO + 12 H₂O

Less O₂ is consumed for each mole of C₅H₁₂.

Consider: What would be the balanced equation when only C is produced?

To prepare an acetic acid/acetate buffer, a technician mixes 30.6 mL of 0.0880 acetic acid and 21.6 mL of 0.110 sodium acetate i

enyata [817]

Answer: There are 0.00269 moles of acetic acid in buffer.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution in ml}}$ .....(1)

Molarity of acetic acid solution = 0.0880 M

Volume of solution = 30.6 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.0880M=\frac{\text{Moles of acetic acid}\times 1000}{30.6ml}\\\\\text{Moles of acetic acid}=\frac{0.0880\times 30.6}{1000}=0.00269mol$

Thus there are 0.00269 moles of acetic acid in buffer.

To what volume should 25ml of 15m nitric acid be diluted to prepare a 3m solution

Maurinko [17]

We can use the dilution formula to find the volume of the diluted solution to be prepared

c1v1 = c2v2

Where c1 is concentration and v1 is volume of the concentrated solution

And c2 is concentration and v2 is volume of the diluted solution to be prepared

Substituting the values in the equation

15 M x 25 mL = 3 M x v2

v2 = 125 mL

The 25 mL concentrated solution should be diluted with distilled water upto 125 mL to make a 3 M solution
