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

Which pair below describes isotopes of the same element? A) an atom with 6 protons and 8 neutrons - an atom with 8 protons and 6
V125BC [204]

<u>Answer:</u> The atom with 6 protons and 6 neutrons and an atom with 6 protons and 7 neutrons are the isotopes of same element.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Isotopes are defined as the chemical species that belong to the same element but differ in their mass number.

This also means that the chemical species have same number of protons and electrons but different number of neutrons.

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or electrons that are present in a neutral atom.

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

From the given options:

The elements having same number of protons will be the isotopes of same element.

Hence, the atom with 6 protons and 6 neutrons and an atom with 6 protons and 7 neutrons are the isotopes of same element.

CalcuLate the velocity of an electron ejected if 300.0 mm of light is applied to the surface. A wavelength of 795 nm has suffici
worty [1.4K]
The equation relating velocity and wavelength is written below:

v = λf
where λ is the wavelength in m while f is frequency in 1/s.

Let's determine first the frequency from the speed of light:
c = distance/time, where c is the speed of light equal to 3×10⁸ m/s
3×10⁸ m/s = (300 mm)(1 m/1000 mm)/ time
time = 1×10⁻⁹ seconds
Since f = 1/t,
f = 1/1×10⁻⁹ seconds = 10⁹ s⁻¹

Thus,
v = (795×10⁻⁹ m)(10⁹ s⁻¹)
v = 795 m/s
