Determine the correct set of coefficients to balance the chemical equation. c6h6(l) + o2(g)? co2(g) + h2o(g)

1 answer:

3 0

To balance this equation, first we should consider balancing C because it only presents in one reactant and one product. Assuming the coefficient of C6H6 is 1, there are 6 C's in the reactant, so it generates 6CO2. Then consider balancing H for the same reason. If the coefficient of C6H6 is 1, there are 6 H's in the reactant, so it generates 3H2O.
Now that the coefficient of the products are determined, we can balance O. There are 6*2=12 O's in CO2 and 3*1=3 O's in H2O. So the total number of O in the products is 12+3 = 15. O2 is the only reactant that contains O, so to balance the equation, the coefficient of O2 should be 15/2.
Now the equation looks like:
C6H6 + 15/2O2 ⇒ 6CO2 + 3H2O.
Times both sides of the equation by 2 results the final answer:
2C6H6 + 15O2 ⇒ 12CO2 + 6H2O

Oxygen and hydrogen are kept under the same temperature and pressure. Oxygen molecule is 16 times more massive than hydrogen one

lozanna [386]

Explanation:

When we increase the temperature of a substance then there will occur an increase in the kinetic energy of its molecules.

Also, K.E = $\frac{3}{2}kT$

So, kinetic energy is directly proportional to the temperature.

Hence, when temperature and pressure are kept the same for both oxygen and hydrogen gas then values of their kinetic energy will be the same irrespective of their masses.

Thus, we can conclude that kinetic energy of oxygen molecule is the same as compared to hydrogen molecule.

Which boiling point is lower an why?

DiKsa [7]

Answer:4

Explanation:

If we carefully observe the electronegativity of the elements in question

P-2.19

N-3.04

C-2.55

Si-1.9

H-2.2

SiH4 is definitely more polar than CH4 hence greater dipole forces of a higher boiling point. NH3 is more polar than PH3 hence NH3 has greater dipole forces and a higher boiling point. Electronegative differences influences the polarity of a bond. The greater the electro negativity difference between bonding atoms, the greater the dipole forces and the greater the boiling point.

A sample of gas has a volume of 3.75 L at a temperature of 25°C and a pressure of 1.15 atm. What will the volume be at a tempera

omeli [17]

Answer: V = 5.1 L

Explanation: To find the new volume, we will use the formula of Combined Gas Law and derive V2. We also need to convert first the temperature in Kelvin and convert torr to atm ( 1 atm = 760 torrs ).
