Answer:

2C2H2 + 5O2 —> 4CO2 + 2H2O

Explanation:

When acetylene, C2H2 under goes combustion, carbon (iv) oxide and water, H2O are produced according to the equation given below:

C2H2 + O2 —> CO2 + H2O

Thus, we shall balance the equation as follow:

C2H2 + O2 —> CO2 + H2O

There are 2 atoms of C on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of CO2 as shown below:

C2H2 + O2 —> 2CO2 + H2O

There are 2 atoms of O on the left side and a total of 5 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 5/2 in front of O2 as shown below:

C2H2 + 5/2O2 —> 2CO2 + H2O

Multiply through by 2 to clear the fraction

2C2H2 + 5O2 —> 4CO2 + 2H2O

Thus, the equation is balanced.

A solution of NaOH has a concentration of 25.00% by mass. What mass of NaOH is present in 0.250 g of this solution? Use the peri
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

1) 0.0625  g.

2) 0.0125 g.

Explanation:

<em>1) A solution of NaOH has a concentration of 25.00% by mass. What mass of NaOH is present in 0.250 g of this solution?</em>

  • We can use the relation:

mass% of NaOH = [(mass of NaOH)/(mass of solution)] x 100.

mass% of NaOH = 25.0%, mass of NaOH = ???  g, mass of solution = 0.250 g.

∴ mass of NaOH = (mass% of NaOH)(mass of solution)/100 = (25.0%)(0.250 g)/100 = 0.0625  g.

<em>2) What mass of NaOH must be added to the solution to increase the concentration to 30.00% by mass?</em>

We can use the relation:

mass% of NaOH = [(mass of NaOH)/(mass of solution)] x 100.

mass% of NaOH = 30.0%, mass of NaOH = ???  g, mass of solution = 0.250 g.

∴ mass of NaOH = (mass% of NaOH)(mass of solution)/100 = (30.0%)(0.250 g)/100 = 0.075  g.

∴ The mass of NaOH should be added = 0.075 - 0.0625 = 0.0125 g.

Which fuel is better renewable or non-renewable fuel and give a reason why
Scilla [17]

Answer:renewable

Explanation:Renewables Can Cost Less than Fossil Fuels

These days, the energy produced by renewables is just as affordable as energy produced by fossil fuels, if not cheaper in some cases. Some solar panel projects can even generate power at roughly half the cost of fossil fuels like coal. That's a lot of potential savings.

1. If 3.25 moles of oxygen were consumed, how much moles of carbon dioxide are<br> produced?
liraira [26]

Answer:

3.25 mol CO₂

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

C(s) + O₂(g) ⇒ CO₂(g)

Step 2: Establish the appropriate molar ratio

According to the balanced equation, the molar ratio of O₂ to CO₂ is 1:1.

Step 3: Calculate the number of moles of CO₂ produced from 3.25 moles of O₂

We will use the previously established molar ratio.

3.25 mol O₂ × 1 mol CO₂/ 1 mol O₂ = 3.25 mol CO₂
