Answer:

1. Carbon and hydrogen

2. The ratio is C : H => 4 : 10

3. C4H10

Explanation:

1. Butane is made up carbon (C) and hydrogen (H)

2. Butane is the 4th member of the alkane series

The alkanes has generated formula CnH2n+2

Butane is number 4 in the family i.e n = 4

Butane => CnH2n+2

Butane => C4H2x4 +2

Butane => C4H8+2

Butane => C4H10

Therefore, the ratio of carbon and hydrogen in butane is:

C : H => 4 : 10

3. Butane contain carbon and hydrogen in the ratio 4 : 10. Therefore, butane is represented as C4H10

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O is the chemical equation for cellular respiration. What are the products in this reaction?
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

The products are: A) CO2, H2O

Explanation:

Those products that are seen on the right side of the reaction (that is, those substances that are generated from the reagents). In this case they are carbon dioxide and water.

The general equation of cellular respiration is:

C6H1206 + 602 -> 36 ATP + 6CO2 + 6H20

Bi2(CO3)3<br> Name of this compound
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

The name of this compound is :

Bi2(CO3)3 = Bismuth Carbonate

Explanation:

The name of the compound is derived from the name of the elements present  in it.

The rule followed while naming the compound are:

1. The first element (always the cation) is named as such .

2. The second element (The anion) end with "-ate ,  -ide ," etc

3. NO prefix is added while naming the first element.

For example : Bi2 can't be named as Dibismuth

Na2 = Can't be named as disodium

Hence the compound :

Bi2(CO3)3 contain two element : Bi and CO3. Here , Bi = cation (named as such) and CO3 = anion (named according to rules)

Bi = Bismuth

CO3 = carbonate

Bi2(CO3)3 = Bismuth Carbonate

The molecular mass of this compound is :

Molecular mass = 2 (mass of Bi) + 3(mass of C) + 6(mass of O)

= 2 (208.98)+3(12.01)+6(15.99)

= 597.987 u
