The reaction, 2C4H10 (g) + 13O2 (g) à 8CO2 (g) + 5H2O (g), is the combustion of butane. What occurs as the reaction proceeds?

The reaction, 2 C4H10 (g) + 13 O2 (g) = 8 CO2 (g) + 5 H2O (g), is the combustion of butane. A combustion reaction involves the reaction of a hydrocarbon with oxygen producing carbon dioxide and water. This reaction is exothermic which means it releases energy in the form of heat. Therefore, as the reaction proceeds,a heat energy is being given off by the reaction. This happens because the total kinetic energy of the reactants is greater than the total kinetic energy of the products. So, the excess energy should be given off somewhere which in this case is released as heat.

Answer:

6.25%

Explanation:

Given data:

Half life of lutetium-117 = 6.75 days

Percentage remaining after 27 days = ?

Solution;

Number of half lives = Time elapsed / half life

Number of half lives = 27 days / 6.75 days

Number of half lives = 4

At time zero = 100%

At first half life = 100%/2 = 50%

At second half life = 50%/2 = 25%

At 3rd half life = 25%/2 = 12.5%

At 4th half life = 12.5%/2 = 6.25%

In the laboratory you dissolve 22.0 g of nickel(II) nitrate in a volumetric flask and add water to a total volume of 125

Ahat [919]

Answer:

1.364 M.

Explanation:

Molarity formula: M= n/v, where n is moles of solute, and v is liters of solution.

Now, we need to convert the grams of nickel to moles and the volume of water to liters.

125mL/1000= 0.125 L.

To convert nickel grams to moles, we need to take a look at it's chemical formula, which is:

$Ni(NO_{3} )_{2}$

Now we count how many molecules of each element we have:

Ni= 1

N= 2

O= 6

Calculate the weight (g) of each element (the values of g/mol can be found on the periodic table and they may vary slightly between one table and the other):

Ni: (1) (58.6934)= 58.6934

N= (2) (14.007)= 28.014

O= (6) (15.999)= 95.994

Sum all the values to obtain the total weight of 1 mole of this compound:

58.6934+28.014+95.994= 129(g/mole)

Now that we know the that 129 grams equal 1 mole of nickel(II) nitrate, we can convert the 22.0 g to moles:

129g ------- 1 mole

22.0g ----- x

x= (22*1)/129= 0.1705 moles.

Now, we have all the values needed to calculate the molarity of this solution. All we have to do is substitute the values in the formula:

M= (0.1705 moles) / (0.125 L)= 1.364 M.

What components did you collect to convert your two molecules of pyruvate to acetyl-coa?

GenaCL600 [577]

You need to have NAD+ as a source of oxidation for the pyruvate, as well as a supply of coenzyme A. CO2 is released by the pyruvate as a carboxyl group is removed

Please help with this question

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

215 amu

Explanation:

In the reactants:

There is 1 iron atom, 3 chlorine atoms, 6 hydrogen atoms and 3 oxygen atoms:

Fe: 56 × 1 = 56
Cl: 35 × 3 = 105
H: 1 × 6 = 6
O: 16 × 3 = 48

56 + 105 + 6 + 48 = 215 amu

Hope this helps!
