Answer:

C2H5OH(l) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + ?H2O(l)

The coefficient should be 3

Explanation:

C2H5OH(l) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + ?H2O(l)

The chemical equation is a reaction between ethanol and oxygen . The reaction yield is carbon dioxide and water. Balancing the chemical equation requires one to make the number of atoms on the reactant side be equal to the number of atoms on the product side.

C2H5OH(l) + 3O2(g) → 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(l)

The hydrogen atom on the left hand side of the equation is 6. Therefore, the number of atom of hydrogen should be 6 on the right hand side. The number of oxygen atom on the left hand side is 7. Therefore, the number of Oxygen atom on the right hand side should  7 . Oxygen atom in carbon dioxide(right hand side) is 4 atoms, therefore, it requires 3 atoms of oxygen to make the  oxygen atoms 7.

Using 3 as the coefficient of water in the equation will make hydrogen 6 and oxygen 3 .Adding the 3 oxygen to the already 4 atoms of oxygen in carbon dioxide will make oxygen 7 atoms

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

0.257 L

Explanation:

The values missing in the question has been assumed with common sense so  that the concept could be applied

Initial volume of the AICI3 solution =23.1 \mathrm{mL}

Initial Molarity of the solution =833 \mathrm{mM}

Final molarity of the solution =75.0 \mathrm{mM}

Final volume of the solution =?

From Law of Dilution, M_{f} V_{f}=M_{i} V_{i}

\Rightarrow V_{f}=\frac{M_{i} V_{i}}{M_{f}}=\frac{833 \mathrm{mM} \times 23.1 \mathrm{mL}}{75.0 \mathrm{mM}}=256.564 \mathrm{mL}=0.256564 \mathrm{L}=0.257 L

Final Volume of the solution =0.257

Anna [14]

Answer:

second option and last option

Explanation:

Know how to do an electron configuration. This is correct because it adds up to 8 and is in the correct order.

All valence electrons are in the last shell. In this case, 2p is the last shell.

If an unknown quantity of gas is held at a temperature of 789 K in a container with a volume of
Orlov [11]

Answer:

n = 0.34 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Given temperature = 789 K

Pressure = 765 torr ( 765/760 = 1.0 atm

Volume of container = 22.0 L

Number of moles of gas = ?

Solution:

Formula:

PV = nRT

n = PV/RT

n = 1.0 atm × 22.0 L / 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K ×789 K

n = 22.0 L.atm /64.8 atm.L/mol

n = 0.34 mol

Chemical Reactions

Chemical changes take place when molecules or elements interact with other elements or molecules to form new chemical compounds. In order for a reaction to take place between molecules and or atoms, these molecules must come into contact with each other.

An example of a chemical reaction can be shown by the reaction of ammonia with hydrogen chloride to form ammonium chloride.  This reaction is usually shown by a shorthand method called a chemical equation. The chemical equation for this reaction is...

NH3   +   HCl   �   NH4Cl

This equation does not clearly show what has happened. In order for these two molecules to react, the pair of electrons on nitrogen must collide with the hydrogen atom of the hydrogen chloride on the side exactly opposite of the chlorine atom. 

This collision must not only be precise as to the angle of the collision, it must have enough energy to break the bond between the hydrogen atom and the chlorine atom and form a new bond between the hydrogen atom and the nitrogen atom. Energy is released when a bond is formed. If all of these requirements are met, a reaction occurs forming a new compound.



The rate of a chemical reaction depends on all of the above factors.  The reaction rate is measured by the change in concentration of one of the reactants or products over a measured period of time.

If some reaction condition is changed, the reaction rate will be changed.

Reaction coordinate diagrams are used to visualize the energy changes in chemical reactions. Some initial energy must be applied to any reaction in order to get the reaction started. This energy is called the energy of activation Ea.

If a reaction releases more energy than it takes to keep it going, it is called an exothermic reaction.



If a reaction requires a constant application of energy to keep it going, it is called an endothermic reaction.



A catalyst is something that, when added to a chemicalreaction, will increase the reaction rate without undergoing a permanent change.  Although it appears that only Ea is lowered for a catalyzed reaction, the actual reaction pathway must change due to the involvement of the catalyst with the reactants. The energy released for the reaction remains the same. Catalysts are used extensively in biochemical reactions in order to decrease the energy demands for the animal or plant.



Matter can neither be gained nor lost in a chemical reaction. The number and type of atoms in the reactants must exactly equal the number and types of atoms in the products. The arrangement of the atoms will be different because new compounds are formed. Therefore, we must balance chemical equations with respect to the numbers of all of the atoms that are involved in the reaction.
