Explanation:

Combustion is defined as the reaction in which a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen and leads to the formation of carbon dioxide and water.

For example, CH_{4} + 2O_{2} \rightarrow CO_{2} + 2H_{2}O

C_{3}H_{8} + 5O_{2} \rightarrow 3CO_{2} + 4H_{2}O

According to law of conservation of mass, mass of reactants will be equal to the mass of products formed because mass can neither be created nor it can be destroyed. It simply changes into one form to another.

Thus, we can conclude that when a hydrocarbon undergoes combustion, it reacts with oxygen and produces carbon dioxide and water.

Hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water if it is complete combustion. But during incomplete combustion carbon mono oxide and water are formed.

What is the [OH-] if the [H3O+] is 1 x 10 -10?
anastassius [24]

The answer is [OH⁻] = 1 x 10⁻⁴.

[OH⁻] = H₂O ÷ [H₃O⁺]

[OH⁻] = 1 x 10⁻¹⁴ / 1 x 10⁻¹⁰

[OH⁻] = 10⁻⁴

How many moles of oxygen are needed to make 12 moles of magnesium oxide ?
Artemon [7]

Answer:

6 moles of oxygen are needed to make 12 moles of magnesium oxide.

Explanation:

First of all you should know that the balanced chemical equation is:

2 Mg + O₂ → 2 MgO

The rule of three or is a way of solving problems of proportionality between three known values and an unknown value, establishing a relationship of proportionality between all of them. That is, what is intended with it is to find the fourth term of a proportion knowing the other three. Remember that proportionality is a constant relationship or ratio between different magnitudes.

If the relationship between the magnitudes is direct, that is, when one magnitude increases, so does the other (or when one magnitude decreases, so does the other) , the direct rule of three must be applied. To solve a direct rule of three, the following formula must be followed:

a ⇒ b

c ⇒ x

So:

x=\frac{c*b}{a}

In this case the rule of three applies as follows: if 2 moles of magnesium oxide are produced from 1 mole of oxygen, 12 moles of magnesium oxide from how many moles of oxygen is produced?

moles of oxygen=\frac{12 moles of magnesium oxide* 1 mole of oxygen}{2 moles of magnesium oxide}

moles of oxygen= 6

<u><em>6 moles of oxygen are needed to make 12 moles of magnesium oxide.</em></u>
