The substance doesn't have a specific name. We just say that that substance is being reduced. Remember this mnemonic - OILRIG where "Oxidation is Loss, Reduction is Gain" of electrons.

Identify the correct coefificients to balance it<br> -C3H8+O2 to -CO2 +-H2O
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

{\rm 1\; C_3H_8} + {\rm 5\; O_2} \to {3\; \rm CO_2} + {4\; \rm H_2O}.

Explanation:

{\rm ?\; C_3H_8} + {\rm ?\; O_2} \to {?\; \rm CO_2} + {?\; \rm H_2O}.

Among the four species in this reaction, \rm C_3H_8 is species with the largest number of atoms per molecule. Assume that the coefficient of this compound is 1.

{\rm 1\; C_3H_8} + {\rm ?\; O_2} \to {?\; \rm CO_2} + {?\; \rm H_2O}.

Number of atoms on the left-hand side of the reaction:

  • \rm C: 1 \times 3 = 3.
  • \rm H: 1 \times 8 = 8.
  • \rm O: not found yet.

By the conservation of atoms, the number of atoms on the right-hand side of the reaction should match those on the left-hand side. In this reaction, \rm CO_2 is the only product with carbon atoms, whereas \rm H_2O is the only product with hydrogen atoms. These 3 carbon atoms and 8 hydrogen atoms would correspond to:

  • 3 / 1 = 3 \rm CO_2 molecules, and
  • 8 / 2 = 4 \rm H_2O molecules.

{\rm 1\; C_3H_8} + {\rm ?\; O_2} \to {3\; \rm CO_2} + {4\; \rm H_2O}.

Number of atoms on the right-hand side of the reaction:

  • \rm C: 3 \times 1 = 3.
  • \rm H: 4 \times 2 = 8.
  • \rm O: 3 \times 2 + 4 \times 1 = 10.

The number of \rm O atoms on the left-hand side should match those on the right-hand side. In this reaction, \rm O_2 is the only reactant with \rm O\! atoms. These 10 \rm \! O atoms would correspond to:

  • 5 \rm O_2 molecules.

{\rm 1\; C_3H_8} + {\rm 5\; O_2} \to {3\; \rm CO_2} + {4\; \rm H_2O}.

Which of the following is a basic solution? HCl dissolved in water b. household ammonia c. vinegar d. pure water
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

B. Household ammonia.

Explanation:

NH₃ is a base, so the solution always will be basic.

NH₃ takes the proton from the water. In conclusion we have free OH⁻ in medium, that's why the solution is basic.

NH₃ + H₂O → NH₄⁺  +  OH⁻

- HCl + H₂O → H₃O⁺  + Cl⁻

This reaction makes an acid solution, cause the H₃O⁺

- Vinegar is a compound made of acetic acid.

CH₃COOH  + H₂O  ⇄  H₃O⁺  +  CH₃COO⁻

This reaction also makes an acid solution, cause the H₃O⁺

- Pure water makes neutral solution. It is not acid, neither basic.

2H₂O ⇄  H₃O⁺  +  OH⁻
