<span>During complete combustion, the hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen (O2) to from carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). For the combustion of one molecule of octane, 8 molecules of CO2 and 9 molecules of H2O must be formed to account for all the atoms of carbon and hydrogen in the octane. This requires 25 atoms of oxygen, or 12.5 molecules of O2: C8H18+12.5*O2=9*H2O+8*CO2 Multiply both sides by 2 to obtain whole number coefficients: 2*C8H18+25*O2=18*H2O+16*CO2 The coefficient of carbon dioxide in the balanced equation is 16.</span>

4. Describe the arrangement of the electrons on each energy level.
never [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the energy of an atom is increased, an electron in the atom gets excited. To go back to its ground state, the electron releases energy. The energy of the light released when an electron drops in energy level is the same as the difference in energy between the two levels.

Viewed simply, electrons are arranged in shells around an atom’s nucleus. Electrons closest to the nucleus will have the lowest energy. Electrons further away from the nucleus will have higher energy. An atom’s electron shell can accommodate 2n2 electrons (where n is the shell level).

In a more realistic model, electrons move in atomic orbitals, or subshells. There are four different orbital shapes: s, p, d, and f. Within each shell, the s subshell is at a lower energy than the p. An orbital diagram is used to determine an atom’s electron configuration.

There are guidelines for determining the electron configuration of an atom. An electron will move to the orbital with lowest energy. Each orbital can hold only one electron pair. Electrons will separate as much as possible within a shell.

How many liters of oxygen gas, at standard temperature and pressure, will react with 35.4 grams of calcium metal? Show all of th
katrin [286]
At STP, P = 1 atm, and T = 0 C
Thus, PV = nRT => V = nR(273). We will use this later...
if you have 35.4 Ca, and the molar mass of Ca is 40.08, you get .883 moles Ca. Thus, since it takes 2 moles of Ca to form a reaction, you only need half the moles of Ca of O2. Thus, n(O2) = .883/2
Tie this back to the first equation and you get
V = .442 * <span>0.082057(which is R) * 273 = 9.9 L</span>

Based on the kinetic theory, which statement is true?
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

(D) The particles of matter are arranged in different ways for the different states.

Explanation:

The particles of matter arrange differently based on the different states

They don't stay the same for each state. They have to change depending on certain things.

The heat of vaporization of 1-pentanol is 55.5 kj/mol, and its entropy of vaporization is 148 j/k.mol. what is the approximate b
KonstantinChe [14]
As you can see, the unit of heat of vaporization is in kJ/mol, while the unit for entropy of vaporization is in J/mol·K. Since it is vaporization, this occurs at the boiling point. Thus, the formula would be:

Boiling Point = ΔHvap/ΔSvap

Make sure the units are consistent.

Boiling point = 55.5 kJ/mol * 1000 J/kJ / 148 J/mol·K = <em>375 K or 102°C</em>
