Which of the following shows an accurate combustion reaction?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Jet001 [13]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

  • <em>Cu + O₂  → CuO₂</em>

Explanation:

A <em>combustion reaction</em> is the reaction with oxygen along with the release of energy in form of heat or light.

Organic compounds (like CH₄) undergo combustion forming water and CO₂.

The combustion reaction of CH₄ is:

  • CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

Hence, the first equation from the choices is not showing the combustion reaction of CH₄.

Not only organic compounds can undergo combustion. Metals and no metals can undergo combustion, i.e. metals and no metals can react with oxygen releasing light or heat.

The reaction of copper and oxygen (second choice) is a combustion reaction:

  • <em>Cu + O₂ → CuO₂</em>

The formation of water (2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O) is other example of a combustion reaction where no organic compounds are involved.

On the other hand, the other two equations from the choice list are not reactions with oxygen, so they do not show combustion reactions.

A balloon occupies a volume of 2.00 l at 40.0oc. how much volume will it occupy at 30.0oc?
hodyreva [135]
<span>Charles' law says "at a constant pressure, the volume of a fixed amount of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature".

V </span>α T

Where V is the volume and T is the temperature in Kelvin of the gas. We can use this for two situations as,
V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₁ = 2.00 L
T₁ = 40.0 ⁰C = 313 K
V₂ = ?
T₂ = 30.0 ⁰C = 303 K

By applying the formula,
2.00 L / 313 K = V₂ / 303 K                   
                   V₂ = (2.00 L / 313 K) x 303 K
                   V₂ = 1.94 L

Hence, the volume of the balloon at 30.0 ⁰C  is 1.94 L

What happens when you drop iodine on a leaf?
insens350 [35]
When you drop iodine on a leaf you may observe a colour change of orange/brown to a blue/black complex.

This is because in the leaf there are starch molecules that form a blue/black complex with the starch molecules.

hope that helps :)
