What type of energy changes take place when a candle burns

Chemistry

prohojiy [21]3 years ago

This would be chemical energy that is converted to heat. The heat from the wick melts the wax which gets absorbed in the wick and then gets burnt (which is really oxidation) to produce heat energy as well as light energy.

What gets oxidized in a galvanic cell made with magnesium and zinc electrodes?
ankoles [38]

Answer: Magnesium

Explanation:

Galvanic cell is a device which is used for the conversion of the chemical energy produces in a redox reaction into the electrical energy.

The standard reduction potential for magnesium and zinc are as follows:

E^0_{[Mg^{2+}/Mg]}= -2.37V

E^0_{[Zn^{2+}/Zn]}=-0.76V

Reduction takes place easily if the standard reduction potential is higher (positive) and oxidation takes place easily if the standard reduction potential is less (more negative).

Here Mg undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. Zinc undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

Mg\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+2e^-

Zn^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Zn

Thus magnesium gets oxidized.

There are ________ σ bonds and ________ π bonds in h3c-ch2-ch=ch-ch2-c≡ch.
FrozenT [24]
The number of sigma and pi bonds are,

          Sigma Bonds  =  16

          Pi Bonds         =   3

Explanation:
                   Every first bond formed between two atoms is sigma. Pi bond is formed when already a sigma bond is there. While in case of Alkyne (triple Bond) there is one sigma and one pi bond already present, so the third bond is formed by second side-to-side overlap of orbitals, hence, a second pi bond is formed.
Below all black bonds are sigma bonds, while in alkene there is one pi bond and in alkyne there are two pi bonds.

The electron configuration of an element is 1s22s22p63s1 Describe what most likely happens when an atom of this element comes ne
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

They will create an ionic bond.

Explanation:

The atom with the one valence electron will lose its one, because it's a metal and metals will lose electrons to become stable. The nonmetal (with 7 valence electrons) will gain that electron, therefore creating a stable octet for the nonmetal, making the compound stable.

A liquid has an empirical formula CCl2, and a boiling point of 1 21 oC. When vapourised, the gaseous compound has a density of 4
Darya [45]

Based on the data given, the molar mass of the gas is 165.5 g/mol while the molecular weight of the gas is 165.5 amu

<h3>How can molar mass of a gas be obtained from density, temperature and pressure?</h3>

The molar mass of a gas can be obtained from density, temperature and pressure using the formula below:

  • molar mass = density × molar gas constant × temperature/pressure

Molar gas constant, R = R = 0.082 L.atm/mol/K.

Temperature = 150 °C = 423 K

Pressure = 785 torr = 1.033 atm

density = 4.93 g/L

molar mass of gas = 4.93 × 0.082 × 423/1.033

molar mass of gas = 165.5 g/mol

Then, molecular weight of the gas = 165.5 amu

Therefore, the molar mass of the gas is 165.5 g/mol while the molecular weight of the gas is 165.5 amu

Fluorine has an atomic number of 9, how many electron shells does it have?
aleksandr82 [10.1K]
2 shells because if you do the electronic configuration: 
 2,7 which adds up to 9
7 stands for the group it in and it also stands for how many electrons are in the outer shell.
the amount of spaces stands for which period its in therefore it in period 2
