<h2>Answer:</h2><h3>Balanced equation:</h3>

2C4H10 + 8O2 → 8CO2 + 10H2O

<h3>Description:</h3>

There should be 8 molecules of oxygen which react with 2 molecules of butane to produce 8 molecules of carbon dioxide and 10 molecules of water.

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer:

2C4H10 + 13O2 → 8CO2 + 10H2O

Explanation:

2C4H10 + O2 → CO2 + H2O

There are 8 carbon atoms on the left side of the equation thus , there should be equal number of carbon atoms on the right side

So, if we balance carbon atoms only, the new eqation becomes

2C4H10 + O2 → 8CO2 + H2O

Now carbon atoms are balance but there are 20 , hydrogen atoms on the left side but 2 atoms only on the right side. So the new equation after balancing hydrogen atom becomes

2C4H10 + O2 → 8CO2 + 10H2O

Now both carbon and hydrogen atoms are balanced but oxygen atoms are pending. There are 26 atoms of (O) on the right side , while 1 molecule of (O2)

So the balanced equation would be  

2C4H10 + 13O2 → 8CO2 + 10H2O

If 4000 g of Fe2O3 reacts, how many moles of CO are needed?<br> (add work)
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

75.15 mol.

Explanation:

  • Firstly, we need to write the balanced equation of the reaction:

<em>Fe₂O₃ + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO₂.</em>

It is clear that 1.0 mole of Fe₂O₃ reacts with 3.0 moles of CO to produce 2.0 moles of Fe and 3.0 moles of CO₂.

∴ Fe₂O₃ reacts with CO with (1: 3) molar ratio.

  • we need to calculate the no. of moles of (4000 g) of Fe₂O₃:

<em>no. of moles of Fe₂O₃ = mass/molar mass</em> = (4000 g)/(159.69 g/mol) = <em>25.05 mol.</em>

<u>Using cross multiplication:</u>

1.0 mole of Fe₂O₃ needs → 3.0 moles of CO,

∴ 25.05 mole of Fe₂O₃ needs → ??? moles of CO.

<em>∴ The no. of moles of CO needed</em> = (3.0 mol)(25.05 mol)/(1.0 mol) =<em> 75.15 mol.</em>

A 33.69 g sample of a substance is initially at 29.4 °c. after absorbing 1623 j of heat, the temperature of the substance is 110
Sliva [168]
Q= mcΔT
1623 = 33.69g x c x (110.8 - 29.4)
1623 = 2742.366 g•°C x c
c = 0.59j/g•°C

In the chemical reaction below, calcium (Ca) and water (H2O) react to form calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) and hydrogen gas (H2). Ca
lakkis [162]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

The mass of the reactants should not change, in fact it would be equal because the only thing that changes is the form in which your products are in. The reactants will still have the same amount of mass from the products as no products were removed or added, the structure changed, the mass did not.
