Balance the reaction for the combustion of pentane: ?C5H12+?O2→?CO2+?H2O Enter the four coefficients in order, separated by comm

Daniel [21]

Answer:

The four coefficients in order, separated by commas are 1, 8, 5, 6

Explanation:

We count the atoms in order to balance this combustion reaction. In combustion reactions, the products are always water and carbon dioxide.

C₅H₁₂ + ?O₂→ ?CO₂ + ?H₂O

We have 12 hydrogen in right side and we can balance with 6 in the left side. But the number of oxygen is odd. We add 2 in the right side, so we have 24 H, and in the product side we add a 12.

As we add 2 in the C₅H₁₂, we have 10 C, so we must add 10 to the CO₂ in the product side.

Let's count the oxygens: 20 from the CO₂ + 12 from the water = 32.

We add 16 in the reactant side. Balanced equation is:

2C₅H₁₂ + 16O₂→ 10CO₂ + 12H₂O

We also can divide by /2 in order to have the lowest stoichiometry

C₅H₁₂ + 8O₂→ 5CO₂ + 6H₂O

15.00 g of NH4HS(s) is introduced into a 500. mL flask at 25 °C, the flask is sealed, and the system is allowed to reach equilib

Ahat [919]

Answer:

0.328 atm

Explanation:

Kp is the equilibrium constant calculated based on the pressure, and it depends only on the gas substances. It will be the multiplication of partial pressures of the products raised to their coefficients divided by the multiplication of partial pressures of the reactants raised to their coefficients.

For the equation given, the stoichiometry is 1 mol of NH₃ for 1 mol of H₂S, so they will have the same partial pressure in equilibrium, let's call it p. So:

Kp = pxp

0.108 = p²

p = √0.108

p = 0.328 atm, which is the partial pressure of the ammonia.

For which of the following elements would the most common ion be expected to have a larger radius than that of its corresponding

Andre45 [30]

Answer: The ion that is expected to have a larger radius than the corresponding atom is chlorine.

Explanation:

There are two types of ions:

Cations: They are formed when an atom looses its valence electrons. They are positive ions.
Anions: They are formed when an atom gain electrons in its outermost shell. They are negative ions.

For positive ions, the removal of electron increases the nuclear charge for an outermost electron because the outermost electrons are more strongly attracted by the nucleus. So, the effective nuclear charge increases for cations and thus, the size of the cation will be smaller than that of the corresponding atom.

For negative ions, the addition of electron decreases the nuclear charge for an outermost electron because the outermost electrons are less strongly attracted by the nucleus. So, the effective nuclear charge decreases for anions and thus, the size of the anion will be larger than that of the corresponding atom.

For the given options:

Option a: Chlorine

Chlorine gains 1 electron and form $Cl^-$ ion

Option b: Sodium

Sodium looses 1 electron and form $Na^+$ ion

Option c: Copper

Copper looses 2 electrons and form $Cu^{2+}$ ion

Option d: Strontium

Strontium looses 2 electrons and form $Sr^{2+}$ ion

Hence, the ion that is expected to have a larger radius than the corresponding atom is chlorine.

How many moles of oxygen gas are there in 395 L of oxygen at STP?

kozerog [31]

Answer:

17.6 moles of oxygen gas.

Explanation:

STP Variables:

P=1 atm

R=0.082

T=273 K

Use the PV=nRT, then plug in.

n=PV/RT

n= (1 atm)(395 L)/(0.082) (273 K)

Simplify.

n=17.6 moles of O2

Hoped this helped.
