C16H32O2(aq) --> 16CO2(g) + 16H2O(l) ... said its wrong though? 
<span>This is because you haven't added any oxygen needed for the combustion, so your equation does'nt balance. Also a solution in water [aq] doesn't burn! </span>
<span>Try </span><span>C16H32O2(s) + 23O2(g) --> 16CO2(g) + 16H2O(l)

Explanation:

Combustion is a type of chemical reaction in which substance burns under the presence of oxygen or in other words reaction of hydrocarbon with oxygen to produce water and carbondioxide.

Palmitic acid when undergoes combustion it gives carbondioxide and water.

The balanced chemical  equation is given as:

C_{16}H_{32}O_2(s)+23O_2(g)\rightarrow 16CO_2(g)+16H_2O(l)

According to stoichiometry, when 1 mol of palmitic acid reacts with 23 moles of oxygen to give 16 moles of carbondioxide and 12 moles of water.

Give the spectator ions for the reaction that occurs when aqueous solutions of H 2SO 4 and KOH are mixed.
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

The spectator ions is: K^+   and  SO^{2-}_4

Explanation:

The equation of reaction between  H₂ SO₄ and KOH is:

H_2SO_{4(aq)} + 2KOH _{aq} \to K_2SO_{4(aq)} +2H_2O _{(l)}

Rewriting this equation as ionic;

[2H^{+} + SO^{2-}_4 + 2K^+ +2OH^- \to 2K^+  SO_4^{2-} + 2H_2O ]

Spectators ions are ions present on both sides of the ionic equation by the same quantity but do not take part in the net reaction.

stealth61 [152]

According to markovnikov's rule of the electrophilic addition to an alkene, the electrophile, usually a proton, is more likely to add to the less-substituted carbon in a double bond.

With additional substituents present in this configuration, the intermediate carbocation is stabilised by being located on the more-substituted carbon.

The nucleophile will then end up in a double bond on the more-substituted carbon in a reaction that follows Markovnikov's rule.The outcome of some addition reactions is described by Markovnikov's rule or Markownikoff's rule in organic chemistry. Vladimir Markovnikov, a Russian scientist, created the rule in 1870.

Suppose of potassium sulfate is dissolved in of a aqueous solution of sodium chromate. Calculate the final molarity of potassium
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

This question is incomplete, here's the complete question:

<em><u>"Suppose 0.0842g of potassium sulfate is dissolved in 50.mL of a 52.0mM aqueous solution of sodium chromate. Calculate the final molarity of potassium cation in the solution. You can assume the volume of the solution doesn't change when the potassium sulfate is dissolved in it. Round your answer to 2 significant digits."</u></em>

Explanation:

Reaction :-

K2SO4 + Na2CrO4 ------> K2CrO4 + Na2SO4

Mass of K2SO4 = 0.0842 g, Molar mass of K2SO4 = 174.26 g/mol

Number of moles of K2SO4 = 0.0842 g / 174.26 g/mol = 0.000483 mol

Concentration of Na2CrO4 = 52.0 mM = 52.0 * 10^-3 M = 0.052 mol/L

Volume of Na2CrO4 solution = 50.0 ml = 50 L / 1000 = 0.05 L

Number of moles of Na2CrO4 = 0.05 L * 0.052 mol/L = 0.0026 mol

Since number of moles of K2SO4 is smaller than number of moles Na2CrO4, so 0.000483 mol of K2SO4 will react with 0.000483 mol of Na2CrO4 will produce 0.000483 mol of K2CrO4.

0.000483 mol of K2CrO4 will dissociate into 2* 0.000483 mol of K^+

Final concentration of potassium cation

= (2*0.000483 mol) / 0.05 L = 0.02 mol/L = 0.02 M

Nistu is cooking rice in a pot. When she leaves the pot on the stove for a while, the temperature of the rice increases. What ha
Mila [183]

Answer:

Their average kinetic energy increases

Explanation:

The average kinetic energy of the rice molecules increases as the pot is left on the cooking stove.

Heat is transferred to the pot by conduction from the heat source. The heat is then transferred to the rice in the cooking pot by convection.

  • As the water in the pot heats up.
  • The rice gains thermal energy.
  • This causes the molecules of the rice particles to start vibrating.
  • As the molecules vibrate about their fixed position, their thermal energy continues to increase.
  • Therefore, the amount of heat absorbed by the rice increases with time and this actually cooks the food.
