What are the requirements for combustion of a candle?

1 answer:

7 0

For a candle to burn, it requires a spark, which provides the activation energy for the oxidation reaction of the hydrocarbon making the candle.
It also requires oxygen to facilitate the oxidation of the hydrocarbon.
Therefore the two main requirements of combustion of a candle are oxygen and a spark (or an initial flame)

To show the electron configuration for an atom, when would it be better to use an orbital notation than to use a written configu

anzhelika [568]

I believe it would be better to use an orbital designation than the written configuration, if the number of electrons in the ground state of the atom are quite high for the given element, as above 50, for instance.

This saves space and also one can see the discrete quantized energy levels associated with the subshells of the main energy levels if written in orbital designation.

5. 16.3 g of NaCl is dissolved in water to make 1.75 L of solution. What is the molarity of this solution? A 0.159 M B 0.278 M C

ira [324]

Answer: The molarity of this solution is 0.159 M.

Explanation:

Given: Mass of solute = 16.3 g

Volume = 1.75 L

Number of moles is defined as the mass of substance divided by its molar mass.

Hence, moles of NaCl (molar mass = 58.44 g/mol) ar calculated as follows.

$Moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\= \frac{16.3 g}{58.44 g/mol}\\= 0.278 mol$

Molarity is the number of moles of a substance present in a liter of solution.

So, molarity of the given solution is calculated as follows.

$Molarity = \frac{no. of moles}{Volume (in L)}\\= \frac{0.278 mol}{1.75}\\= 0.159 M$

Thus, we can conclude that the molarity of this solution is 0.159 M.

Why is it possible to collect hydrogen gas over water?

maw [93]

A gas produced in a chemical reaction can be collected by water displacement. Because the gas is collected over water, it is not pure but is mixed with vapor from the evaporation of the water. Dalton's law can be used to calculate the amount of the desired gas by subtracting the contribution of the water vapor.
