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

calculate the volume occupied by 10g of propane gas, under normal conditions of temperature and pressure
andriy [413]

Answer:

5.5 L

Explanation:

First we <u>convert 10 g of propane gas</u> (C₃H₈) to moles, using its <em>molar mass</em>:

  • 10 g ÷ 44 g/mol = 0.23 mol

Then we <u>use the PV=nRT formula</u>, where:

  • P = 1 atm & T = 293 K (This are normal conditions of T and P)
  • n = 0.23 mol
  • R = 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹
  • V = ?

1 atm * V = 0.23 mol * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 293 K

  • V = 5.5 L

Which of the following has the lowest entropy?
Valentin [98]
I believe that the answer is B:  H2O(s) because is the makeup of water also known as one hydrogen and two oxygen. So water as more entropy and the s stands for sol fore i think wich means it contains the most entropy.

How many particles are there in 5.0 moles​
grigory [225]

Answer:

3.01 × 10^24 particles

Explanation:

According to Avagadro, in one mole of a substance, there are 6.02 × 10^23 atoms or particles.

Using the formula: N = n × NA

Where;

N= number of particles or atoms

n = number of moles

NA = Avagadro's constant or number

This means that for 5 moles of a substance, there will be:

5 × 6.02 × 10^23

= 30.1 × 10^23

= 3.01 × 10^24 particles

The mass of a large order of french fries is about 170 G what is its approximate weight in pounds
kap26 [50]

Answer:

             0.374 Pound Approximately

Solution:

Gram and Pound are related as,

1 Gram  =  0.0022 Pound (approximately)

As we are given with 170 g of French Fries, so it can be converted into pounds as,

          1 Gram  =  0.0022 Pound

So,

          170 Grams  =  X Pounds

Solving for X,

                      X =  (170 Gram × 0.0022 Pounds) ÷ 1 Gram

                      X =  0.374 Pound Approximately
