Answer:
4 C3H5N3O9 ------> 6N2 + O2 + 10H2O + 12CO2
Explanation:
Nitroglycerin has a chemical formula C3H5N3O9. The balanced chemical equation is as follows:
4 C3H5N3O9 ------> 6N2 + O2 + 10H2O + 12CO2
We suppose that in a reaction, 44g of carbon dioxide is produced. The mass of nitroglycerin that must have reacted will be calculated as under:
Molecular mass of Nitroglycerin = 227g/mol
Molecular mass of Carbon dioxide = 44g/mol
No. of moles of carbon dioxide produced = 44/44 = 1 mole produced.
Now, from balanced chemical equation, we can see that
12 moles of carbon dioxide are produced by = 4 moles of nitroglycerin.
1 mole of carbon dioxide is produced by = 4/12 = 1/3 moles of nitroglycerin.
Mass of nitroglycerin which produced 1 mole of carbon dioxide = 1/3 x 227 = 75.666 grams.
Answer:
d. A single replacement reaction.
Explanation:
The zinc replaces the hydrogen in the hydrochloric acid.
The quantity that you would measure in kg, is mass.
Answer : Option C) The Octet Rule
Explanation : Atoms have a tendency to complete their outer energy level. This is known as Octet Rule.
The octet rule is a chemical rule of thumb which reflects the observation, that atoms of main-group elements tends to combine in such a way that each atom gets eight electrons in its valence shell, which gives it the same electron configuration as that of a noble gas.
In short, the tendency of an atom to fill its valence shell and attain a stable state it acquires or donates the electron is called as octet rule.
Answer:
Explanation:
The formula of the reaction:
KClO₂ → KCl + O₂
To assign oxidation numbers, we have to obey some rules:
- Elements in an uncombined state or one whose atoms combine with one another to form molecules have an oxidation number of zero.
- The charge on simple ions signifies their oxidation number.
- The algebraic sum of all the oxidation number of all atoms in a neutral compound is zero. For radicals with charges, their oxidation number is the charge.
The oxidation number of K in KClO₂:
K + (-1) + 2(-2) = 0
K-5 = 0
K = +5
The oxidation number of K in KCl:
K + (-1) = 0
K = +1
The oxidation number Cl in KClO₂ is -1
For Cl in KCl, the oxidation number is -1
For O in KClO₂, the oxidation number is (2 x -2) = -4
For O in O₂, the oxidation number is 0
K moves from an oxidation state of +5 to +1. This is a gain of electrons and K has undergone reduction. We then say K is reduced.
O moves from an oxidation state of -4 to 0. This is a loss of electrons and O has undergone oxidation. We say O is oxidized.
