Answer:

All the light a candle makes comes from a chemical reaction known as combustion in which the wax (made from carbon-based chemicals typically derived from petroleum) reacts with oxygen in the air to make a colorless gas called carbon dioxide. Water is also produced in the form of steam.

Explanation:

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

It comes from the chemical reaction of The wax and the gas because the wax is made up of carbon-based chemicals so the gas and carbon make the candle light =)

For the reaction H2O(g) + Cl2O(g) → 2HCIO(9), you know S rxn and Sosys and S° of HCIO(g) and of H2O(g). Write an expression that

Liono4ka [1.6K]

The expression that can be used to determine Cl2O(g) is ;

$S_{cl_{2}o(g) } ^{o} = 2S_{HCIO(g)} ^{o} - S_{H_{2}O(g) }^{o} - \beta S_{rxn} ^{o}$

<h3>Determine an expression that can be used to determine Cl2O(g)</h3>

The general expression for ΔS°rxn of a chemical reaction

ΔS°rxn = ∑mS°products - ∑nS°reactants

where ; m and n = stoichiometry coefficients

Considering the given reaction : H₂O(g) + Cl₂O(g) → 2HCIO (g)

$\beta$ S°rxn = $2S_{HCIO(g)} ^{o} - S_{H_{2}O(g) } ^{o} - S_{Cl_{2}O } ^{o}$ ------- ( 2 )

Rearranging the equation above

$S_{cl_{2}o(g) } ^{o} = 2S_{HCIO(g)} ^{o} - S_{H_{2}O(g) }^{o} - \beta S_{rxn} ^{o}$

Hence we can conclude that The expression that can be used to determine Cl2O(g) is ;

$S_{cl_{2}o(g) } ^{o} = 2S_{HCIO(g)} ^{o} - S_{H_{2}O(g) }^{o} - \beta S_{rxn} ^{o}$

The complete combustion of propane (C3H8) in the presence of oxygen yields CO2 and H2O: C3H8 (g) + 5O2 (g) 3CO2 (g) + 4H2O (g) a

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

26.9 L is the volume of CO₂, we obtained

Explanation:

The reaction is: C₃H₈(g) + 5O₂(g) → 3CO₂ (g) + 4H₂O (g)

Let's determine the reactants moles:

27.5 g . 1mol / 44 g = 0.625 moles

We need density of O₂ to determine mass and then, the moles.

O₂ density = O₂ mass / O₂ volume

O₂ density . O₂ volume = O₂ mass

1.429 g/L . 45L = O₂ mass → 64.3 g

Moles of O₂ → 64.3 g . 1mol/32g = 2.009 moles

Let's find out the limiting reactant:

1 mol of propane needs 5 moles of oxygen to react

Then, 0.625 moles will react with (0.625 . 5)/1 = 3.125 moles of O₂

Oxygen is the limiting reactant, we need 3.125 moles but we only have 2.009 moles

Ratio is 5:3. 5 moles of O₂ produce 3 moles of CO₂

Therefore, 2.009 moles of O₂ must produce (2.009 .3) /5 = 1.21 moles of CO₂. Let's find out the volume, by Ideal Gases Law (STP are 1 atm and 273K, the standard conditions)

1 atm . V = 1.21 moles . 0.082 . 273K

V = (1.21 moles . 0.082 . 273K) / 1atm = 26.9 L

What does conserving mass mean in a chemical equation?

expeople1 [14]

The correct answer should be letter choice C) There is an equal number of each type of atom on the reactant and product side. Its C) because if its trying to conserve mass, than that means save or be equally balanced so it should be even for both sides.

Infrared radiation A) Heat from warm objects, used to detect the location of objects Microwaves B) All the radiation humans can

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

Infrared radiation → A) used to detect the location of objects

Microwaves → D) Used in radar and to heat food

Ultraviolet light → C)Given off by very hot objects, such as the sun Heat from warm objects

Visible light → B) All the radiation humans can see, ranging from red to violet

Explanation:

Microwaves have magnetic waves with very long lengths, greater than that of infrared light. These waves are produced through vibrations that produce heat, as the microwave is turned on, which allows the food to be heated. These waves are also used to provide communication on some types of devices.

Infrared radiation is a type of non-ionizing radiation that has a low frequency and therefore cannot be visualized, since it is not within a visible electromagnetic spectrum, having a frequency lower than red. It can be used to detect the licalization of objects and does not pose a health risk.

Ultraviolet radiation is extremely harmful to our body. It is characterized by radiation with very small wavelengths, less than 400nm. This type of radiation can be released by the sun and ultraviolet lamps.

Visible light refers to the simplest form of electromagnetic wave and covers all the radiation that our eyes can see, allowing different colors to be seen in the objects we observe according to the reorganization of atoms and molecules.

Indicate how the concentration of each species in the chemical equation will change to reestablish equilibrium after changing th

Viktor [21]

Explanation:

Since this is an equilibrium problem, we apply le chatelier principle. This principle states that whenever a system at equilibrium is disturbed due to change in several factors, it would move in a way to annul such change.

C2H4(g) + Cl2 ⇔ 2C2H4Cl2(g)

When the concentration of C2H4 is increased, there is more reactant sin the system. In order to annul this change, the equilibrium position will shift to the right favoring product formation.

When the concentration of C2H4Cl2 is increased, there is more product in the system. To annul this change, the equilibrium position will shift to the left, favoring reactant formation.
