Write a balanced chemical equation based on the following description: butanoic acid, C₃H₇COOH(l) burns in air

Chemistry
1 answer:
NARA [144]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: C_3H_7COOH(l)+5O_2(g)\rightarrow 4CO_2(g)+4H_2O(g)

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

Combustion is a chemical reaction in which hydrocarbons are burnt in the presence of oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.

The balanced reaction for combustion of butanoic acid is:

C_3H_7COOH(l)+5O_2(g)\rightarrow 4CO_2(g)+4H_2O(g)

What is the boiling point of a solution of 12.0 g of urea in 165.0 g of water
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

T = 100.63 °C

Explanation:

To solve this question, we need to know what are we talking about here. In this case, we want to know the boiling point of a solution with Urea in water. This is a colligative property, so, the expression to use to calculate that is the following:

ΔT = m * K / MM * kg water (1)

Where:

ΔT: difference of temperatures (Tb of solution - Tb water)

m: mass of the urea

K: ebulloscopic constant of the water (0.52 ° C / m)

MM: molecular mass of urea

The boiling point of water is 100 °C, we have the mass of the urea, but not the molar mass. The urea has the formula CH₄N₂O, so the molar mass can be calculated using the atomic mass of the elements (I will use a rounded number for this):

MM = 12 + (4*1) + (2*14) + 16 = 60 g/mol

Now, we can calculate the ΔT and then, the boiling point of the solution:

ΔT = 12 * 0.52 / 60 * 0.165

ΔT = 6.24 / 9.9

ΔT = 0.63 °C

the value of ΔT is a difference between the boling point of water and the solution so:

ΔT = Ts - Tw

Ts = ΔT + Tw

Replacing we have:

Ts = 100 + 0.63

<h2>Ts = 100.63 ° C</h2>

HCl (g) + O2 Cl2 (g) + H2O (g)
Veronika [31]
PV = nRT

Pressure times volume = number of moles times ideal gas constant times temperature

50mL = .05L

1 atm (.05) = n (.0821) (273)

.05 = n (22.4133)

.022 = n (number of moles)

6.022E23 molecules = 1 mole

.022 x 6.022E23 = 1.325E23 molecules

Will the ph of a solution of nh4cn be &gt;7, &lt;7, or =7?

PH of a solution will be <span>higher than 7

Ammonium cyanide is a salt formed by hydrogen cyanide and ammonia. Ammonia is a weak base and hydrogen cyanide is a weak acid. 
NH₄CN + H₂O ⇒ NH₃ + HCN 

NH₄⁺ + H₂O -----> H₃O⁺ + NH₃

CN⁻ + H₂O -----> HCN + OH⁻ 

Although both compounds are weak electrolytes, NH₃ is somewhat stronger base than HCN is a strong acid, so the solution reacts alkaline. We can prove this using Ka and Kb values:

Ka(HCN) = 4.9 x × 10⁻¹⁰

Kb(NH₃) = 1.8 × 10⁻⁵<span>
Kw= </span>1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴

Let's first calculate Ka for NH₄⁺: 
Ka(NH₄⁺) x Kb(NH₃<span>) = pKw

</span>Ka(NH₄⁺) = Kw/Kb(NH₃) = 5.6 x 10⁻¹⁰

Then, Kb for CN⁻:

Kb(CN⁻) x Ka(HCN) = pKw

Kb(CN⁻) = Kw/Ka(HCN) = 2 x 10⁻⁵

 
From this, we can see that the acid constant NH4⁺ is much lower than the base constant of CN⁻, which will say that the solution of NH₄CN will react slightly alkaline because of the higher presence of hydroxyl ions in solution.

According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, the basic needs are what we call physiological or biological needs. The survival of th
Volgvan

Answer:

<u>True</u>

Explanation:

|ndeed,  Psychologist Abraham Maslow's sought to describe hierarchy in which the average (or most) humans place their needs. In other words, he believes we as humans have basic needs which we long to satisfy.

On the ranking or hierarchy, according to Maslow the need humans satisfy first is their physiological need. Here's the full hierarchy:

Physiological Needs
