Answer:

8 to 1.

Explanation:

  • Oxygen combines with hydrogen atoms to form water according to the balanced equation:

<em>O₂ + 2H₂ → 2H₂O.</em>

It is clear that one mole of oxygen combines with two moles of hydrogen atoms to form 2 moles of water.

So, the molar ratio of oxygen to hydrogen is (1 to 2).

  • The mass of 1 mole of oxygen = (no. of moles)(molar mass) = (1 mol)(32.0 g/mol) = 32.0 g.
  • The mass of 2 moles of hydrogen = (no. of moles)(molar mass) = (2 mol)(2.0 g/mol) = 4.0 g.

<em>So, the mass ratio of oxygen to hydrogen (32.0 g/4.0 g) = (8: 1).</em>

Imagine a 15kg block moving with a speed of 20m/s. Calculate the kinetic energy of this block.
SSSSS [86.1K]

The kinetic energy formula is;

  • KE=\frac{m.v^2}{2}

The variable m represents the mass. Its unit is kilogram. We are informed that the mass of the object is 15kg. The variable v represents the linear velocity. Its unit is meter per second. We are informed that the linear velocity of the object is 20m/s. Let's find the kinetic energy of the object by substituting these values in the formula.

  • KE=\frac{15kg.(20m/s)^2}{2}
  • 2.KE=15kg.400m^2/s^2
  • 2.KE=(6000)kgm^2/s^2
  • KE=(3000)kgm^2/s^2=3000J

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).
