PLEASE HELP!?!.!,! What are the products of the combustion of a hydrocarbon?
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

carbon dioxide and water

Explanation:

Example: Combustion of Methane (CH₄(g))

CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g) => CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(g)**

____________________

Note: The combustion of any hydrocarbon produces CO₂ & H₂O. That is,

Ethane (C₂H₆) + O₂ => CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

Propane (C₃H₈) + O₂ => CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

Butane (C₄H₁₀) + O₂ => CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

The issue remaining is to balance the reaction equation. For these type equation balance Carbon 1st, then Hydrogen and finish with Oxygen. Balancing in this order leaves Oxygen which can be balanced using fractions. If problem requires lowest whole number ratios of elements, simply multiply entire equation by 2 to get standard equation*

______________________

*Standard Equation is defined as the smallest whole number ratios of elements. The 'standard equation' is significant in that it is assumed to be at STP conditions; i.e., 0⁰C (=273K) & 1.0 Atmosphere pressure.

  • Ethane (C₂H₆) + 7/2O₂(g) => 2CO₂(g) + 3H₂O(g)

    => 2C₂H₆ + 7O₂(g) => 4CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(g)  <= Standard Form of Rxn

  • Propane (C₃H₈) + 5O₂(g) => 3CO₂(g) + 4H₂O(g) <= Standard Form of Rxn (no need to balance with the '2' multiple)
  • Butane (C₄H₁₀) + 13/2O₂ => 4CO₂(g) + 5H₂O(g)

    => 2C₃H₈ + 13O₂(g) => 4CO₂(g) + 5H₂O(g) <= Standard Form of Rxn

______________________

**Also, note that water, H₂O(g), is listed as a gas. In some cases it will be listed as a liquid, H₂O(l).

In some places timber companies remove all the trees from entire hillside when they are harvesting logs and farmers till the soi
laila [671]

Answer:

The timber companies removing all the trees from entire hillside when they are harvesting logs is a practice that could cause the following when it is time to plant in spring:

1. It could affect the quality of plant needed nutrients in the soil and beneficial microorganism population in the soil which could impact negatively the planting season.

2. Trees serves as protection of soil nutrients against wind erosions, so the soil nutrients would be affected.

The farmers tilling the soil means preparing the soil for a farming season as the following effect:

1. Helps control weed for the planting season.

2. This practice could further encourage soil erosion if not done well.

3. Tilling the soil could make leftover plants from the felling of trees mix well with the soil and also add nutrients to the soil when they decay.

You have 4 moles of a gas in a 50 L container held at 2 atm pressure. Currently the temperature is 27 ºC. R = 0.0821 L*atm/(mol*
Mariulka [41]
The formula used for determining gas pressure, volume and temperature interaction would be PV=nRT. 

<span>• What is the temperature in Kelvins?
</span>You already right at this part. Kelvin temperature formula from celsius should be:
K= C+273.15= 
<span>K= 27 +273.15 = 300.15 
It is important to remember that the formula in this question is using Kelvin unit at temperature, not Celcius or Fahrenheit.
</span>
<span>• Assuming that everything else remains constant, what will happen to the pressure if the temperature decreases to -15 ºC?
</span>In this case, the temperature is decreased from 27C into -15C and you asked the change in the pressure.
Using PV=nRT formula, you can derive that the temperature will be directly related to pressure. If the temperature decreased, the pressure will be decreased too. 

<span> If you increase the number of moles to 6 moles, increase temperature to 400K and reduce the volume to 25 L, what will the new pressure be?
</span>PV=nRT
P= nRT/V
P= 6 moles* <span>0.0821 L*atm/(mol*K) * 400K/25L= 7.8816 atm</span>
