According to law of definite proportion, for a compound, elements always combine in fixed ratio by mass.

The formula of compound remains the same, let it be a_{x}b_{y} where, a and b are two different elements.

Since, the ratio of mass remains the same , calculate the ratio of masses of element a and b in both cases

\frac{a}{b}=\frac{15}{35}=\frac{10}{y}

rearranging,

y=\frac{10\times 35}{15}=23.3

Thus, mass of b produced will be 23.3 g.

How do you write a balanced equation for the combustion<br> ofbenzene?
forsale [732]

Answer: The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of benzene is:

2C_6H_6+15O_2\rightarrow 12CO_2+6H_2O

Explanation:

Combustion reactions : It is defined as the reactions in which a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water as a product.

Balanced chemical reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the number of atoms of individual elements present on reactant side must be equal to the product side.

The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of benzene will be:

2C_6H_6+15O_2\rightarrow 12CO_2+6H_2O

By Stoichiometry of the reaction we can say that,

2 mole of benzene reacts with 15 moles of oxygen gas to produce 12 moles of carbon dioxide and 6 moles of water molecule.

When the reaction A → B + C is studied, a plot 1/[A]t vs. time gives a straight line with a positive slope. What is the order of
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Second order

Explanation:

Given that:

When the reaction A → B + C is studied, a plot 1/[A]t vs. time gives a straight line with a positive slope.

From the integration method for the second order of reaction.

Suppose that:

rate = k₂[A]²

∴

\dfrac{1}{A}=\dfrac{1}{A_0}+k_2t

Therefore, a plot of the linear function \dfrac{1}{A} versus t will be linear with a positive slope k₂ and the intercept on the concentration axis will be \dfrac{1}{A_o}

The linear plot for a second order reaction can be seen in theimage attached below.
