Answer: The ratio of carbon dioxide molecules to oxygen molecules is 20 :31
Explanation:
Combustion is a chemical reaction in which hydrocarbons are burnt in the presence of oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.
The balanced combustion reaction is,:
Thus the ratio of carbon dioxide molecules to oxygen molecules is 20 : 31
Answer:
2.03125g of acetylene
Explanation:
First thing's first, we have to write out the balanced chemical equation;
CaC2(s) + 2H2O(l) → Ca(OH)2(aq) + C2H2(g)
Water is in excess, so CAC2 is our limiting reactant. i.e it determines the amount of product that would be formed.
1 mol of CaC2 produces 1 mol of C2H2
In terms of mass;
Mass = Number of moles * Molar mass
where the molar mass of the elements are;
Ca = 40g/mol
C = 12g/mol
H = 1g/mol
CaC2 = 40+ (2*12) = 64g/mol
C2H2 =( 2 * 12) + ( 2 * 1) = 26g/mol
64g (1 * 64g/mol) of CaC2 produces 26g ( 1mol * 26g/mol) of C2H2
5g would produce x?
64 = 26
5 = x
Upon solving for x we have;
x = (5 * 26) / 64
x = 2.03125g
Answer:
The number before any molecular formula applies to the entire formula. So here you have five molecules of water with two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom per molecule. Thus you have ten hydrogen atoms and five oxygen atoms in total.
Answer: option B.
carbon + oxygen → carbon dioxide
