Calculate the tempature of a 0.50 mol sample of a gas at a pressure of 0.987 atm and a volume of 12 L
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

The temperature is 288, 88K

Explanation:

We use the formula PV= nRT:

T= PV/nR

T= 0,987 atm x12 L/0,50 mol x 0,082 l atm/K mol

<em>T=288,88K</em>

Given the reaction: cu(s) + 4hno3(aq) → cu(no3)2(aq) + 2no3(g) + 2h2o(l )as the reaction occurs, what happens to copper?
katrin [286]
From the reaction between Cu and HNO₃, the formed gas is NO₂ instead of NO₃. Hence the correct balanced equation would be,
Cu(s) + 4HNO₃(aq) → Cu(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2NO₂(g) + 2H₂O<span>(l)

Here, Cu goes to </span>Cu(NO₃)₂ by changing its oxidation number from 0 to +2 while NO₃⁻ goes to NO₂ by reducing its oxidation state from +5 to +4 . Hence Cu is oxidized by HNO₃ in the reaction.

Write a balanced equation for the complete combustion of each compound. a. formaldehyde (CH2O(g)) b. heptane (C7H17(l)) c. benze
Yuri [45]

Answer:

a. formaldehyde (CH₂O(g)): CH₂O(g) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

b. heptane (C₇H₁₇(l)): 4C₇H₁₇(l) + 45O₂(g) → 28CO₂(g) + 34H₂O(g)

c. benzene (C6H6(l))​: C₆H₆(l) + 15/2 O₂(g) → 6CO₂(g) + 3 H₂O(g)

Explanation:

In a reaction of combustion, a hydrocarbon compound (composed of C, H and O) reacts with oxygen gas (O₂). The <u>complete</u> combustion of a hydrocarbon - such as formaldehyde, heptane, and benzene - produces carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O).  

Thus, we write the reactants and products for each combustion reaction and then we balance the atoms: C, H, and O.

a. formaldehyde (CH₂O(g)):

CH₂O(g) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

The chemical equation is already balanced with the coefficients 1: we have the same number of C atoms (1), H (2) and O (3) on both sides of the equation.

b. heptane (C₇H₁₇(l)):

C₇H₁₇(l) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

Here we have to write a coefficient 28 for CO₂ to balance the C atoms in the products side, and for C₇H₁₇ we write 28/4 = 7. With similar reasoning we found the coefficients for O₂ and H₂O:

4C₇H₁₇(l) + 45O₂(g) → 28CO₂(g) + 34H₂O(g)

c. benzene (C6H6(l))​:

C₆H₆(l) +  O₂(g) → CO₂(g) +  H₂O(g)

First, we write a coefficient of 6 for CO₂ to balance the C atoms. Then, we have to balance H atoms: we write a coefficient 3 in H₂O. Now, we have 12 + 3 = 15 atoms of O on the reactants side. So, we write a half of these number of atoms in the coefficient for O₂: 15/2. We obtain the balanced equation:

C₆H₆(l) + 15/2 O₂(g) → 6CO₂(g) + 3 H₂O(g)
