What is the change of state involved in combustion of an alcohol and it’s entropy ?

The reaction 2KClO3(s) --> 2KCl(s) + 3O2(g) is a(n)

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

decomposition reaction.

Explanation:

It is a decomposition reaction as potassium chlorate compound breaks to form potassium chloride and oxygen. This reaction requires heat as source of energy to break down the compound so it is endothermic in nature.

Aspirin can be made in the laboratory by reacting acetic anhydride (c4h6o3) with salicylic acid (c7h6o3) to form aspirin (c9h8o4

Temka [501]

V(C₄H₆O₃) = 5.00 mL.
d(C₄H₆O₃) = 1.08 g/mL.
m(C₄H₆O₃) = V(C₄H₆O₃) · d(C₄H₆O₃).
m(C₄H₆O₃) = 5.00 mL · 1.08 g/mL.
m(C₄H₆O₃) = 5.4 g.
n(C₄H₆O₃) = m(C₄H₆O₃) ÷ M(C₄H₆O₃).
n(C₄H₆O₃) = 5.4 g ÷ 102 g/mol.
n(C₄H₆O₃) = 0.0529 mol.
n(C₇H₆O₃) = 2.08 g ÷ 138.1 g/mol.
n(C₇H₆O₃) = 0.015 mol; limiting reactant.
From chemical reaction: n(C₄H₆O₃) : n(C₉H₈O₄) = 1 : 1.
n(C₉H₈O₄) = 0.015 mol.
m(C₉H₈O₄) = 0.015 mol · 180.16 g/mol.
m(C₉H₈O₄) = 2.71 g; theoretical yield.
percent yield od aspirine = 2.57 g ÷ 2.71 g · 100% = 94.83%.

Select the properly written and balanced equation for the following chemical reaction: Sodium metal and an aqueous solution of m

Setler [38]

Answer: $2Na(s)+MgI_2 (aq)\rightarrow 2NaI(aq)+Mg(s)$

Explanation: The chemical reaction is written by writing down the chemical formulas of the reactants on the left hand side and the chemical formulas of products on the right hand side separated by a right arrow.

This is a single displacement reaction in which a more reactive element displaces the less reactive element from its salt solution. Thus sodium is more reactive than Mg and thus displaces it from $MgI_2$ .

$2Na(s)+MgI_2 (aq)\rightarrow 2NaI(aq)+Mg(s)$

The number of atoms of each element must be same on both sides of the reaction so as to follow the law of conservation of mass. Thus the equation is balanced.

What role do hydrogen ions play in the electron transport chain high?

Metals react with oxygen to give oxides with the general formula MxOy. What is a balanced chemical equation for the reaction of

katovenus [111]

Answer: $4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3$

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Here iron is having an oxidation state of +3 called as $Fe^{3+}$ cation and oxide $O^{2-}$ is an anion with oxidation state of -2. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral $Fe_2O_3$ .

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

$2Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3$
