Answer:

The mole ratio of C₄H₁₀ and CO₂ is 2 : 8, which simplifies to 1 : 4.

Explanation:

The mole ratio is the relative proportion of the moles of products or reactants that participate in the reaction according to the chemical equation.

The chemical equation given is:

2C₄H₁₀ + 13O₂ → 8CO₂ + 10H₂O

Once you check that the equation is balanced, you can set the mole ratios for all the reactants and products. The coefficients used in front of each reactant and product, in the balanced chemical equation, tells the mole ratios.

In this case, they are: 2 mol C₄H₁₀ : 13 mol O₂ : 8 mol CO₂ : 10 mol H₂O

Since you are asked about the mole ratio of C₄H₁₀ and CO₂ it is:

2 mol C₄H₁₀ : 8 mol CO₂ , which dividing by 2, simplifies to

1 mol C₄H₁₀ : 4 mol CO₂, or

1 : 2.

Which reactants would lead to a spontaneous reaction?

balandron [24]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The elements which have excess or deficiency of electrons will react readily.

Atomic number of Mn is 25 and electronic configuration of $Mn^{2+}$ is [Ar] $4s^{0}3d^{5}$ . This configuration is stable.

Atomic number of Cr is 24 and electronic configuration of $Cr$ is [Ar] $4s^{1}3d^{5}$ . This configuration is not stable.

Atomic number of Fe is 26 and electronic configuration of $Fe$ is [Ar] $4s^{2}3d^{6}$ . This configuration is stable.

Atomic number of Cu is 29 and electronic configuration of $Cu^{2+}$ is [Ar] $4s^{0}3d^{9}$ . This configuration is not stable.

Atomic number of Al is 13 and electronic configuration of Al is $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{2}3p^{1}$ . This configuration is not stable.

Atomic number of Ba is 56 and electronic configuration of $Ba^{2+}$ is [Kr] $4d^{10}5s^{2}5p^{6}$ . This configuration is stable.

Atomic number of Mg is 12 and electronic configuration of $Mg^{2+}$ is $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}$ . This configuration is stable.

Atomic number of Sn is 50 and electronic configuration of Sn is [Kr] $4d^{10}5s^{2}5p^{2}$ . This configuration is stable.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, only Fe and $Cu^{2+}$ reactants would lead to a spontaneous reaction as they have incomplete sub-shells. Therefore, in order to gain stability they will readily react.

Which molecule is a substrate dipeptide, water or amino acid?

Leona [35]

Amino acids.
Amino acids group together to form proteins. Enzymes are protein in nature. Thus the substrate is an amino acid.
