Word equations for the combustion of wood, natural gas(methane) and ethanol

1 answer:

8 0

Wood combustion: CH2O + O2 = CO2 + H2O (Wood is (CH2O) to the nth power)

Methane combustion: CH4 + 2O2 = CO2 + 2H2O

Ethanol combustion: C2H6O + 3O2 = 2CO2 + 3H2O

Semmy [17]

I believe you just look at your periodic table for this value. I don't think there is any math involved.
Therefore one mole of Mg = 24.305g.

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

B) the chemicals are gaining energy from the surroundings.

Explanation:

The positive sign of the energy difference in a chemical reaction would indicate that the chemicals are gaining energy from the surroundings. This is what happens in an endothermic reaction.

In an endothermic reaction, heat is absorbed from the surroundings hence the surrounding becomes colder at the end of the changes.

Here the energy change is assigned a positive value.
This is because the heat energy level of the final state is higher than that of the initial state.
So, the difference gives a positive value.

g Select the correct statements. I. Reduction is the loss of electrons, and oxidation is the gain of electrons II. Reduction is

Karolina [17]

Answer: The correct answer is Option D.

Explanation:

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. Here, the oxidation state of the substance decreases.

$X^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow X$

Oxidizing agents are the agents that helps in the oxidation of other substance and itself gets reduced. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. Here, oxidation state of the substance increases.

$X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-$

Reducing agents are the agents that helps in the reduction of the other substance and itself gets oxidized. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

Oxidation state is the number which is given to an atom when it looses or gains electron. It is written as a superscript. In a compound, the total charge is equal to the sum of the charges of all atoms in that compound. For Example: In $MnO_4^-$ , manganese has +7 oxidation number and oxygen has -2.

So, the charge on the compound = $[=7+(4\times (-2))]=-1$

Hence, the correct answer is Option D.
