Answer: The chemical reaction is given below.

Explanation:

When solid carbon reacts with oxygen molecule, it leads to the production of carbon dioxide gas.

The chemical equation for the formation of carbon dioxide follows:

$C(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of solid carbon reacts with 1 mole of oxygen gas to produce 1 mole of carbon dioxide gas.

How to balance the question?

umka21 [38]

Answer:

CH4 + 2O2 —> CO2 + 2H2O

CH4 + 2O2

C = 1

H = 4

O = 2 ×2 = 4

__o_o___

CO2 + 2H20

C = 1

H = 2 × 2 = 4

O = 2 + 2 = 4

So ; 1 C , 4 H , 4 O

I hope I helped you^_^

Explain how a Buffer acts to resist pH change in a system upon addition of an acid or a base

Leokris [45]

Answer:

Explanation has been given below.

Explanation:

A buffer consists of either of a weak acid along with it's conjugate base or a weak base along with it's conjugate acid.
Let's consider a buffer consists of a weak acid along with it's conjugate base
If we add an acid to this buffer then conjugate base gets protonated and converted to corresponding weak acid. So effect of addition of acid gets neutralized by forming weak acid rather than increase in concentration of proton in solution.
If we add a base to this buffer then weak acid gets converted to corresponding conjugate base. So effect of addition of base gets neutralized by forming conjugate base rather than in crease in concentration of hydroxyl ion in solution.

When a 3.00 grams sample of a compound containing only c, h, and o was completely burned, 1.17 grams of h2o and 2.87 grams of co

Answer:- $CH_2O_2$

Solution:- From given masses of carbon dioxide and water we could calculate the moles that helps to calculate the moles of C and H.

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 gram per mol

molar mass of water = 18.02 gram per mol

From given info, combustion of compound gives 1.17 grams of water and 2.87 grams of carbon dioxide. Let's calculate the moles of these:

$1.17gH_2O(\frac{1mol}{18.02g})$

= $0.0649molH_2O$

Similarly, $2.87gCO_2(\frac{1mol}{44g})$

= $0.0652molCO_2$

One mol of water has two moles of H. So, the moles of H would be two times the moles of water as calculated above.

So, moles of H = 2* 0.0649 = 0.1298 mol

One mol of carbon dioxide contains one mol of C. So, the moles of C would be equal to the moles of carbon dioxide calculated above.

moles of C = 0.0652 mol

Let's convert the moles of H and C to grams so that we could calculate the amount of oxygen present in the sample as:

grams of H in sample = 1.008 x 0.1298 = 0.1308 g

grams of C in sample = 12*0.0652 = 0.7824 g

If we subtract the sum of the masses of C and H from sample mass then it would give as the mass of oxygen since the sample has only C, H and O.

mass of O in sample = 3.00g - (0.1308 g + 0.7824 g)

= 3.00 g - 0.9132 g

= 2.0868 g

Let's convert these grams of oxygen to moles on dividing by it's atomic mass as:

$2.0868gO(\frac{1mol}{15.999g})$

= 0.130 mol O

Now, we have the moles of all the three atoms and we know that an empirical formula is the simplest whole number ratio of the moles of atoms. So, let's calculate the ratio. For this, we divide the moles of each by the least one of them.Looking at the moles, the least value is for carbon. So, let's divide the moles of each by the moles of C as:

C = $\frac{0.0652}{0.0652}$ = 1

H = $\frac{0.1298}{0.0652}$ = 2

O = $\frac{0.130}{0.0652}$ = 2

The ratio of C, H and O is 1:2:2. So, the simplest formula of the compound is $CH_2O_2$ .
