Based on the information, what is the balanced chemical equation representing the burning of butane?

Chemistry
1 answer:
kompoz [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

OptionA. 2C4H10 + 13O2 —> 8CO2 + 10H20

Explanation:

Butane burns is air (O2) according to the equation:

C4H10 + O2 —> CO2 + H20

Considering the equation, it is evident that it not balanced. Now let us balance the equation as shown below;

There are a total of 4 carbon atoms on the left and 1 carbon atom on the right. It can be balanced by putting 4 in front of CO2 as shown below:

C4H10 + O2 —> 4CO2 + H20

Next, there are 10 hydrogen atoms on the left and 2 hydrogen atoms on the right. Therefore to balance it, put 5 in front of H2O as shown below:

C4H10 + O2 —> 4CO2 + 5H20

Now, there are a total of 13 oxygen atoms on the right and 2 at the left. To balance it, put 13/2 in front of O2

as shown below

C4H10 + 13/2O2 —> 4CO2 + 5H20

Now we multiply through by 2 clear off the fraction and we obtained:

2C4H10 + 13O2 —> 8CO2 + 10H20

Acetic acid (CH3COOH) is a weak acid that partially dissociates in water. Given the reaction CH3COOH(aq) ↔ CH3COO−(aq) + H+(aq)
likoan [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is: 1.035 x 10⁻³ M

Explanation:

The dissociation equilibrium for acetic acid (CH₃COOH) is the following:

CH₃COOH(aq) ↔ CH₃COO⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq)  Kc = 1.8 x 10⁻⁵

The expression for the equilibrium constant (Kc) is the ratio of concentrations of products over reactants. The products are acetate ion (CH₃COO⁻) and hydrogen ion (H⁺) while the reactant is acetic acid (CH₃COOH):

Kc=\frac{[CH_{3} COO^{-} ][H^{+} ]}{[CH_{3} COOH]}= 1.8 x 10^{-5}

Given: [CH₃COOH]= 0.016 M and [CH₃COO⁻]= 0.92 M, we replace the concentrations in the equilibrium expression and we calculate [H⁺]:

\frac{(0.016 M)[H^{+} ]}{(0.92M)}= 1.8 x 10^{-5}

⇒[H⁺]= (1.8 x 10⁻⁵)(0.92 M)/(0.016 M)= 1.035 x 10⁻³ M

In reaction CFCl3 + UV Light -> CFCl2 + Cl, there is only one reactant (CFCl3) and no collision
Alla [95]

The reaction CFCl3 + UV Light -> CFCl2 + Cl does not need another reactant as with CFCl3 because the reaction itself is reactive to light. Note that there are reactions that are sensitive to light to form products and when this type of reaction are not exposed to light, no reaction occurs.
