Answer:

A. It is exothermic

Explanation:

Combustion is a chemical reaction in which a substance combines with oxygen present in air to produce carbon (iv) oxide and water as well release heat and light energy.Combustion is an exothermic process.

An exothermic reaction releases energy in the form of heat to the surroundings. The energy required to break bonds in the reactants is less than the energy required to form new bonds in the products in an exothermic reaction.

From the given options;

A. It is exothermic is determinable since the reaction is a combustion reaction

B. The bond making energy is more than 600 kJ is not certain because the mass of the wood being burnt is not given. Also, wood is not composed of a specific element that would be taking part in the reaction, rather it is composed of various substances.

C. It is endothermic. is wrong because combustion of wood is exothermic.

D. The bond breaking energy is more than 600 kJ is not certain because the mass of the wood being burnt is not given. Also, wood is not composed of a specific element that would be taking part in the reaction, rather is composed of many substances.

What can crystalize size tell us about where an igneous rock formed?

Mila [183]

Answer:

Crystalization is solidfying of atoms or molecules or things,,it can be speeded up depends on nature of something in terms of it's molecular force of attraction eg sand and loam soil also temperature and pressure above the sure to be crystalized

An igneus rock is formed where magma(molten rock) cool and solify(crystalized especially in volcanoes areas

The combustion of propane may be described by the chemical equation C 3 H 8 ( g ) + 5 O 2 ( g ) ⟶ 3 CO 2 ( g ) + 4 H 2 O ( g ) C

Kipish [7]

Answer: 72 grams of $O_2(g)$ are needed to completely burn 19.7 g $C_3H_8(g)$

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to molecular mass and contains avogadro's number $6.023\times 10^{23}$ of particles.

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Putting in the values we get:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{19.7g}{44g/mol}=0.45moles$

$C_3H_8(g)+5O_2(g)\rightarrow 3CO_2(g)+4H_2O(g)$

According to stoichiometry:

1 mole of $C_3H_8$ requires 5 moles of oxygen

0.45 moles of $C_3H_8$ require= $\frac{5}{1}\times 0.45=2.25$ moles of oxygen

Mass of $O_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=2.25\times 32=72g$

72 grams of $O_2(g)$ are needed to completely burn 19.7 g $C_3H_8(g)$

Answer:

The mass of a pure substance represents a specific number of pure substance 'molecules', as defined by molecular weight. The relative atomic mass (atomic weight) in grams/mole (g/mol) is the molar mass of a substance, which means it is the mass of one mole of that substance.

Hope this helps :)
