Answer:

C8H8 + 10O2 → 8CO2 + 4H2O

Explanation:

unbalanced reaction:

C8H8 + O2 → CO2 + H2O

balanced for semireactions:

(1) 16H2O + C8H8 → 8CO2 + 40H+

(2) 10(4H+ + O2 → 2H2O)

⇒ 40H+ + 10O2 → 20H2O

(1) + (2):

balanced reaction:

⇒ C8H8 + 10O2 → 8CO2 + 4H2O

                      8 - C - 8

                     20 - O2 - 20

                      8 - H - 8

How many moles of H2O are needed to produce 5.6 mol of NaOH?<br> Na2O + H2O --&gt; 2NaOH
navik [9.2K]

Answer: 2.8 moles

Explanation:

The balanced equation below shows that 1 mole of sodium oxide reacts with 1 mole of water to form 2 moles of sodium hydroxide respectively.

Na2O + H2O --> 2NaOH

1 mole of H2O = 2 moles of NaOH

Let Z moles of H2O = 5.6 mole of NaOH

To get the value of Z, cross multiply

5.6 moles x 1 mole= Z x 2 moles

5.6 = 2Z

Divide both sides by 2

5.6/2 = 2Z/2

2.8 = Z

Thus, 2.8moles of H2O are needed to produce 5.6 mol of NaOH

Consider the reaction 2 SO2(g) + O2(g) &lt;=&gt; 2 SO3(g), which is exothermic as written. What would be the effect on the equil
enot [183]

Answer:

Removing O₂, means removing one of the reactants and the system would counteract this effect by producing more O₂, thereby shifting the equilibrium position to the left and favouring the backward reaction.

Explanation:

The principle that explains how changes in temperature, Concentration and Pressure of reactants or products of a reaction at equilibrium affect the equilibrium position of the reaction is the Le Chatelier's principle.

The Principle explains that a system/process if a system/process which is at equilibrium is disturbed/perturbed/constrained by one or more changes (in concentration, pressure or temperature), the system would shift the equilibrium position to counteract the effects of this change.

Removing O₂, means removing one of the reactants (changing its concentration) and the system would counteract this effect by producing more O₂, thereby shifting the equilibrium position to the left and favouring the backward reaction.

What happens to the pressure of a gas inside a rigid container if the temperature of a gas decreases?
NikAS [45]

Answer:

If the temperature of gas is decreased the pressure will also goes to decrease.

Explanation:

The pressure and temperature have direct relation. If the temperature of gas will increase the pressure of gas will also goes to increase.

According to the Gay-Lussas's Law,

The pressure of given amount of gas is directly proportional to the absolute  temperature when volume is kept constant.

Mathematical relationship:

P ∝ T

P = kT

P/T = k

and

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

Analysis of an athletes urine found the presence of a compound with a molar mass of 312 g/mol. How many moles of this compound a
rewona [7]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

= 5.79 × 10^19 molecules

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The molar mass of the compound is 312 g/mol

Mass of the compound is 30.0 mg equivalent to 0.030 g (1 g = 1000 mg)

We are required to calculate the number of molecules present

We will use the following steps;

<h3>Step 1: Calculate the number of moles of the compound </h3>

Moles=\frac{mass}{molar mass}

Therefore;

Moles of the compound will be;

=\frac{0.030}{312g/mol}

      = 9.615 × 10⁻5 mole

<h3>Step 2: Calculate the number of molecules present </h3>

Using the Avogadro's constant, 6.022 × 10^23

1 mole of a compound contains 6.022 × 10^23  molecules

Therefore;

9.615 × 10⁻5 moles of the compound will have ;

= 9.615 × 10⁻5 moles × 6.022 × 10^23  molecules

= 5.79 × 10^19 molecules

Therefore the compound contains 5.79 × 10^19 molecules
