What is the guiding formula for combustion reactions​

Chemistry
1 answer:
IgorLugansk [536]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation: so a combustion occurs when we react a substance with oxygen .you commonly call this "burning'' .therefore combustion will always include oxygen in the equation and the product will include carbon dioxide and give off water vapours

Therefore the general equation for a complete combustion reaction would be

Fuel + O2 ------ CO2 + H2O

An "empty" container is not really empty if it contains air. How may moles of nitrogen are in an "empty" two-liter cola bottle a
Lisa [10]

Answer:

1. 0.0637 moles of nitrogen.

2. The partial pressure of oxygen is 0.21 atm.  

Explanation:

1. If we assume ideal behaviour, we can use the Law of ideal gases to find the moles of nitrogen, considering that air composition is mainly nitrogen (78%), oxygen (21%) and argon (1%):  

V_{N_2}=V_{T}\times 0.78=2L \times 0.78 =1.56 L\\PV=nRT\\n_{N_2}=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{1 atm\times 1.56 L}{0.0821\frac{atmL}{molK}\times 298 K}\\n_{N_2}= 0.0637 mol

2. Now, in order to find he partial pressure of oxygen we need to find the total moles of air, and then the moles of oxygen. Then, we use these results to determine the molar fraction of oxygen, to multiply it with total pressure and get the partial pressure of oxygen as follows:

n_{total}=\frac{1 atm \times 2L}{0.0821 \frac{atmL}{molK}298K}=0.0817 mol

V_{O_2}=2L \times 0.21 = 0.42 L\\n_{O_2}=\frac {1atm \times 0.42 L}{0.0821 \frac{atm L}{mol K}298 K}=0.0172 mol\\X_{O_2}=\frac{n_{O_2}}{n_{total}}=\frac{0.0172 mol}{0.0817 mol}= 0.21

P_{O_2}=X_{O_2} \times P = 1 atm \times 0.21 = 0.21 atm

As you see, the molar fraction and volume fraction are the same because of the assumption of ideal behaviour.

EXPLAIN How would you explain the difference between single displacement and
IrinaK [193]
  • The difference between single displacement reaction and double displacement reaction are:

Explanation:

in the chemical reaction an atom in a molecule is replaced by another atom forming the end product .this type of chemical reaction involved only two reactants for example zinc + copper sulphate give us copper sulphate + copper.double displacement reaction is the reaction in which two compounds react together to form two other compounds by mutual exchange of other ions is called double displacement reaction.this type of reaction is involved two or more than two reactants.for example AG and O3 + NaCl give us agcl + nano3

Difference between hygroscopic and deliquescent substance with of each​
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

The water soluble substance which absorb moisture from the air and then dissolve on the absorbed moisture to change into liquid taste are called deliquescent substances whereas the substances which absorb moisture from air but do not change their state are called hygroscopic substances.
