Answer: 2C_2H_6+7O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+6H_2O

Explanation:

Combustion is a chemical reaction in which hydrocarbons are burnt in the presence of oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products formed must be equal to the mass of reactants taken. In order to get the same mass on both sides, the atoms of each element must be balanced on both sides of the chemical equation.

The balanced combustion reaction is,:

2C_2H_6+7O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+6H_2O

A geochemist measures the concentration of salt dissolved in Lake Parsons and finds a concentration of 21.0 gL⁻¹. The geochemist
dedylja [7]

Answer:

The percentage of Lake Parsons which has evaporated since it became isolated is 68.24%.

Explanation:

The concentration of salt dissolved in Lake Parson = 21.0 g/L

= In 1 L of lake Parson  water = 21.0 g of salt

The concentration of salt in several nearby non-isolated lakes = 6.67  g/L

The salt concentration in Lake Parsons before it became isolated = 6.67 g/L

In 1 L of lake water = 6.67 g of salt

If 1 L of lake Parson  water has 6.67 g of salt. Then 21.0 grams of salt will be in ;

\frac{1}{6.67}\times 21.0 L = 3.15 L

Water evaporated = 3.15 L - 1 L = 2.15 L

The percentage of Lake Parsons which has evaporated since it became isolated:

\frac{2.15 L}{3.15 L}\times 100=68.25\%

When a monatomic ideal gas expands at a constant pressure of 6.4 x 105 Pa, the volume of the gas increases by 3.2 x 10-3 m3. Det
defon

Answer:

5118.50 J

Explanation:

pΔv=nRΔT ;

therefore, ΔT=PV/nR

ΔT = (6.4×10^5)(3.2×10^(-3)/1×8.314

ΔT= 2.4633×10^2 = 246.33 K

specific heat at constant pressure is given as:

c_p = 3/2R

c_p = 12.5 J/mol K

Now, substitute in equation (1)

we know that

Q=ΔU+W ;

and

W=pΔV= 6.4×10^5×3.2×10^(-3) = 2048 J

now

ΔU=CvΔT = 12.465×246.33 =3070.50 J ;

therefore  

Q=3070.50+2048= 5118.50 J

What type of energy is stored within a chemical substance?
s2008m [1.1K]
<span>Chemical Energy is energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds (atoms and molecules). It is released in a chemical reaction, often producing heat as a by-product (exothermic reaction). Batteries, biomass, petroleum, natural gas, and coal are examples of stored chemical energy and NO i didnt get this off google</span>
