The combustion of ethane results in the balanced equation 2C2H6 + 7O2 -> 4CO2 + H2O + energy because we see that after the combustion, the reactants have 8 + 6 = 14 Oxygen atoms in total (8 from 4CO2, 6 from 6H2O). Therefore, since there are 2 atoms of Oxygen in oxygen gas, we have 7O2 molecules in the beginning to hold the ratio true.

To balance an equation, we need to make sure the amount of atoms on the reactants and the products. 

How much oxygen's are on the reactants side? 

Lets count, 4*2 = 8  and 6, so 8+6 = 14

Now, start to predict the number. 

14/2 = 7

Answer: 7 is the correct answer

How many joules of work are done against a truck when a force of 50 N pushes it 1 kilometer away
ELEN [110]

Answer:

Work = 50,000 J

Explanation:

Work = force * distance

Given that,

  • force = 50N
  • Distance = 1km = 1000m

Work = 50 * 1000

Work = 50,000 J

How far can a sound wave travel in 90 seconds when the ambient air temperature is 10 C?
Ksju [112]

Answer:

s = 30330.7 m = 30.33 km

Explanation:

First we need to calculate the speed of sound at the given temperature. For this purpose we use the following formula:

v = v₀√[T/273 k]

where,

v = speed of sound at given temperature = ?

v₀ = speed of sound at 0°C = 331 m/s

T = Given Temperature = 10°C + 273 = 283 k

Therefore,

v = (331 m/s)√[283 k/273 k]

v = 337 m/s

Now, we use the following formula to calculate the distance traveled  by sound:

s = vt

where,

s = distance traveled = ?

t = time taken = 90 s

Therefore,

s = (337 m/s)(90 s)

<u>s = 30330.7 m = 30.33 km</u>

How does a bimetallic strip work in a sinple alarm system​
tatiyna
The bimetallic strip in a fire alarm is made of two metals with different expansion rates bonded together to form one piece of metal. Typically, the low-expansion side is made of a nickel-iron alloy called Invar, while the high-expansion side is an alloy of copper or nickel. The strip is electrically energized with a low-voltage current. When the strip is heated by fire, the high-expansion side bends the strip toward an electrical contact. When the strip touches that contact, it completes a circuit that triggers the alarm to sound. The width of the gap between the contacts determines the temperature that will set off the alarm.
