The combustion of carbohydrates and the combustion of fats are both exothermic processes, yet the combustion of carbohydrates is

a faster process. How can this be? Answer in detail please, Thanks.

Explanation:

Combustion of a compound is the reaction with oxygen , hence , the process of combustion is an oxidation reaction.

The carbohydrates contain more amount of oxygen as compared to the fats ,

Hence ,

carbohydrates , have a lot of oxygen contents , are are already partially oxidized , but fats have lower oxygen content .

Therefore ,

The partially oxidized carbohydrates are very difficult to oxidized in comparison to fats .

A mixture containing initially 3.90 mole of NO(g) and 0.88 mole of CO2(g) was allowed to react in a flask of volume 1.00 L at a
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Equilibrium constant Kc for the reaction will be 1.722

Explanation:

O2(g)+NO(g)→CO(g)+ NO2(g)

0.88    3.9        ---         ---

0.88x   3.9-x     x           x

GIVEN:

0.88X-X= 0.11

⇒ X=0.77

CO2(g)+NO(g) → CO(g) + NO2(g)

0.88       3.9         ---          ---

0.88-x    3.9-x      x            x

=              3.13       0.77      0.77

=0.11

Kc = \frac{[CO] *[NO2]} {[CO2]*[NO]}

     ={{0.77}×0.77÷{{0.11×3.13}}

     = 1.722

A metal forms the fluoride MF3. Electrolysis of the molten fluoride by a current of 3.86 A for 16.2 minutes deposits 1.25 g of t
larisa86 [58]

<u>Answer: </u>The molar mass of the metal is 96.45 g/mol

<u>Explanation:</u>

The fluoride of the metal formed is MF_3

The oxidation half-reaction follows:

M\rightarrow M^{3+}+3e^-

Calculating the theoretical mass deposited by using Faraday's law, which is:

m=\frac{M\times I\times t(s)}{n\times F}       ......(1)

where,

m = actual mass deposited = 1.25 g

M = molar mass of metal = ?

I = average current = 3.86 A

t = time period in seconds = 16.2 min = 972 s            (Conversion factor: 1 min = 60 sec)

n = number of electrons exchanged = 3mol^{-1}

F = Faraday's constant = 96500 C

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

1.25g=\frac{M\times 3.86A\times 972s}{3mol^{-1}\times 96500 C}\\\\M=\frac{1.25g\times 3mol^{-1}\times 96500 C}{3.86A\times 972s}\\\\M=96.45g/mol

Hence, the molar mass of the metal is 96.45 g/mol

What mass of CO is needed to react completely with55.0 g of Fe2O3(s)+CO(g) yield Fe(s)+CO2(g)?
Katarina [22]

Answer:

28.9 g

Explanation:

We know that we will need a balanced equation with masses, moles, and molar masses of the compounds involved.  

<em>Gather all the information in one place</em> with molar masses above the formulas and masses below them.  

M_{r}:     159.69    28.01

              Fe₂O₃ + 3CO ⟶ 2Fe + 3CO₂

Mass/g:  55.0

1. Use the molar mass of Fe₂O₃ to calculate the moles of Fe₂O₃.

\text{Moles of Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$} =\text{55.0 g Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$} \times \frac{\text{1 mol Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$}}{\text{159.69 g Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$}}= \text{0.3444 mol Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$}

2. Use the molar ratio of CO:Fe₂O₃ to calculate the moles of CO.

\text{Moles of CO} = \text{0.3444 mol Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$} \times \frac{\text{3 mol CO}}{\text{1 mol Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$}}= \text{1.033 mol CO}

3.Use the molar mass of CO to calculate the mass of CO.

\text{Mass of CO} = \text{1.033 mol CO}  \times \frac{\text{28.01 g CO} }{\text{1 mol CO}}= \textbf{28.9 g CO}
