Answer:

C2H6O(aq) + 3O2(g) → 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(l)

Explanation:

Step 1: data given

The reactants are:

ethanol = C2H6O(aq)

oxygen gas = O2(g)

The products are:

gaseous carbon dioxide = CO2(g)

liquid water = H2O(l)

Step 2: The unbalanced equation

C2H6O(aq) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + H2O(l)

Step 3: Balancing the equation

C2H6O(aq) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + H2O(l)

On the left side we have 2 time C (in C2H6O), on the right side we have 1x C (in CO2). To balance the amount of C on both sides, we have to multiply CO2 on the right side by 2.

C2H6O(aq) + O2(g) → 2CO2(g) + H2O(l)

On the left side we have 6x H (in C2H6O), on the right side we have 2x H(in H2O). To balance the amount of H on both sides, we have to multiply H2O on the right side by 3.

C2H6O(aq) + O2(g) → 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(l)

On the right side we have 7x O (4x O in 2CO2 and 3x O in 3H2O), on the left side we have 3x O (1x in C2H6O and 2x in O2). To balance the amount of O on both sides, we have to multiply O2 on the left side by 3. Now the equation is balanced.

C2H6O(aq) + 3O2(g) → 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(l)

Answer:

C₂H₆O + 3 O₂ → 2 CO₂ + 3 H₂O

Explanation:

Ethanol (C₂H₆O) is processed by the body when reacts with oxygen (O₂) producing carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O). The unbalanced reaction is:

C₂H₆O + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O

As you can see, ethanol contains 2 atoms of carbon, that means must be produced 2 CO₂:

C₂H₆O + O₂ → <em>2</em> CO₂ + H₂O

Also, ethanol contains 6 atoms of hydrogen that produced 3 molecules of water:

C₂H₆O + O₂ → <em>2</em> CO₂ + <em>3</em> H₂O

Now, with carbon and hydrogen balanced, there are produced 7 atoms of oxygen. As ethanol contains 1 atom of oxygen. 3 moles of O₂ must react in the beginning. Thus, balanced reaction is:

C₂H₆O + <em>3</em> O₂ → <em>2</em> CO₂ + <em>3</em> H₂O

A 1.0-L buffer solution is 0.10 M in HF and 0.050 M in NaF. Which action destroys the buffer? (a) adding 0.050 mol of HCl (b) ad
Volgvan

Answer:

(a) adding 0.050 mol of HCl

Explanation:

A buffer is defined as the mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base -or vice versa-.

In the buffer:

1.0L × (0.10 mol / L) = 0.10 moles of HF -<em>Weak acid-</em>

1.0L × (0.050 mol / L) = 0.050 moles of NaF -<em>Conjugate base-</em>

-The weak acid reacts with bases as NaOH and the conjugate base reacts with acids as HCl-

Thus:

<em>(a) adding 0.050 mol of HCl:</em> The addition of 0.050moles of HCl produce the reaction of 0.050 moles of NaF producing HF. That means after the reaction, all NaF is consumed and you will have in solution just the weak acid <em>destroying the buffer</em>.

(b) adding 0.050 mol of NaOH: The NaOH reacts with HF producing more NaF. Would be consumed just 0.050 moles of HF -remaining 0.050 moles of HF-. Thus, the buffer <em>wouldn't be destroyed</em>.

(c) adding 0.050 mol of NaF: The addition of conjugate base <em>doesn't destroy the buffer</em>

How is the periodic law demonstrated in halogens
inn [45]
Halogens is defined as the group of 7 periodic table. As, every periodic table contains 7 valence electrons and they only need 1 more to complete an outer shell, that is why they are extremely reactive. And according to the law that recurring patterns of the properties of elements arise when they are arranged in order of increasing atomic number. As the halogen all act very similarly with each other in chemical reaction, it is true.
