Answer:

  • <em>The mole ratio of C₄H₁₀ and CO₂ is</em><u> 2 : 8, which  simplifies to 1 : 4</u>.

Explanation:

The<em> mole ratio</em> 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 <em>mole ratios</em> 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 substance is the oxidizing agent in this reaction? fe2o3+3co→2fe+3co2 express your answer as a chemical formula?
erma4kov [3.2K]
Equation is as follow,

                            Fe₂O₃  +  3 CO     →     2 Fe  +  3 CO₂

Oxidation:

                                        3 CO     →     3 CO₂

Oxidation state of C in CO is +2, and that in CO₂ is +4. So, carbon has lost 2 electrons per mole and 6 electrons per 3 moles hence,

                                 3 CO     →     3 CO₂  +  6 e⁻

Reduction:

                                    Fe₂O₃     →     2 Fe

Oxidation state of Fe in Fe₂O₃ is +3 per atom, and that in Fe is 0. So, Iron has gained 3 electrons per atom and 6 electrons per 2 atoms hence,

                                    Fe₂O₃  +  6e⁻     →     2 Fe

Result:
             Iron in Fe₂O₃ has been reduced in this reaction and has played a role of oxidizing agent by oxidizing carbon from +2 state to +4 state.

Is Potassium Acetate an acidic or basic salt?
Softa [21]
Cause potassium comes from strong base and acetate comes from weak acid, when they disociate potassium is stronger base or weaker conjugated acid than acetate is cause acetate is weaker acid or stronger conjugated base... i hope you can get it from this what i wrote

Help me please i dont understand
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

1. Dissolving powder in milk - Chemical

  - It is chemical because the milk has changed on a molecular level

2. Toasting bread - Chemical

   - It is chemical because adding heat to the bread cooks it, therefore

     changing it on a molecular level

3. Melting cheese - Physical

   - It is physical because the physical appearance was the only change

4. Slicing apples or bannanas - Physical

   - It is physical because the physical appearance was the only change

5. Frying an egg - Chemical

   - It is chemical because new particles were formed

6. Milk souring - Chemical

   -  It is chemical because it is forming a new product (lactic acid)

Explanation:

Physical Change occurs when the particles of a substance become rearranged, but do not change into different particles.  

Chemical change occurs when a new substance is formed. This process is irreversable.
