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:
When 0.250 moles of a gas is placed in a container at 25 °C, it exerts a pressure of 700 mm Hg.
Explanation:
Answer:
a. The specific heat capacity of the gaseous ethanol is less than the specific heat capacity of liquid ethanol.
Explanation:
The heating curve is a curve that represents temperature (T) in the y-axis vs. added heat (Q) in the x-axis. The slope is T/Q = 1/C, where C is the heat capacity. Then, the higher the slope, the lower the heat capacity. For a constant mass, it can also represent the specific heat capacity (c).
Heats of vaporization and fusion cannot be calculated from these sections of the heating curve.
<em>Which statement below explains that?</em>
<em>a. The specific heat capacity of the gaseous ethanol is less than the specific heat capacity of liquid ethanol.</em> YES.
<em>b. The specific heat capacity of the gaseous ethanol is greater than the specific heat capacity of liquid ethanol.</em> NO.
<em>c. The heat of vaporization of ethanol is less than the heat of fusion of ethanol.</em> NO.
<em>d. The heat of vaporization of ethanol is greater than the heat of fusion of ethanol.</em> NO.
Answer:He 1+
Explanation:
Both Hydrogen atom and helium ion are one electron species. Hence we expect the spectrum of the helium ion to closely resemble that of hydrogen atom also containing one valence electron.
