Combustion reaction is defined as the reaction in which a hydrocarbon burns in oxygen or reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water molecule.

Fossil fuels are defined as the hydrocarbons which mainly contains coal, fuel oil, natural gas etc..

When fossil fuels are burned in air, it mainly releases carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide etc..

The major component released during the combustion of fossil fuels is carbon.

Hence, the correct answer is carbon.

The balanced equation for a hypothetical reaction is a + 5b + 6c → 3d + 3e. what is the rate law for this reaction? rate = k [a]

nekit [7.7K]

Answer: The correct rate of the reaction is $Rate=k[a][b]^5[c]^6$

Explanation:

Rate law of the reaction is the expression which expresses the rate of the reaction in the terms of the molar concentrations of the reactants with each term raised to the power of their respective stoichiometric coefficients in a balanced chemical equation.

For the given reaction:

$a+5b+6c\rightarrow 3d+3e$

The expression for the rate law will be: $Rate=k[a][b]^5[c]^6$

c) A substance has a high melting point and conducts electricity. What type of structure does it have

trapecia [35]

Answer:

Metallic structure

Explanation:

They have a high melting point due to the strong forces of attraction between the positive ions (cations) and the delocalised electrons. Moreover, they conduct electricity due to the sea of delocalised electrons.

[Extra: It could be an ionic compound since they also have a high melting point, however they only conduct electricity in liquid or aqeouus state.]
