Answer : The correct name for the compound, P_2O_5 is, Diphosphorous pentoxide.

Explanation :

P_2O_5 is a covalent compound because in this compound the sharing of electrons takes place between phosphorous and oxygen. Both the elements are non-metals. Hence, it will form covalent bond.

The naming of covalent compound is given by:

  • The less electronegative element is written first.
  • The more electronegative element is written second. Then a suffix is added with it. The suffix added is '-ide'.
  • If atoms of an element is greater than 1, then prefixes are added which are 'mono' for 1 atom, 'di' for 2 atoms, 'tri' for 3 atoms and so on.

Hence, the correct name for the compound, P_2O_5 is, Diphosphorous pentoxide.

19. Which of the following best describes the role of the spark from the spark plug in an automobile engine?
sergey [27]

The role of a spark plug is to supply some of the energy of activation for the combustion reaction.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • A Spark plug is a tiny bolt of lightning in which a spark of electricity is emitted across a gap creating the ignition of the combustion chamber thereby starting the engine. By putting an engine piston in motion we can power up which produces a smooth burn of the compressed air-fuel mixture.
  • An electrical device that fits into the cylinder head and ignites compressed aerosol gasoline by an electric spark. They have an insulated electrode connected to a coil that ignites thereby producing sparks.
  • The spark plug works as a heat exchanger. They tend to pull unwanted thermal energy from the combustion chamber and heat is transferred to the engine's cooling system. Thus they supply some of the energy for the activation of engines.

How is earth's mantic field similar to that of a bar magnet
Alika [10]

Answer:The outer core of the Earth contains a lot of iron in a molten state. As the Earth spins this molten iron moves and creates the Earth's magnetic field. The Earth behaves as if there is a huge bar magnet at its centre. The shape of the field around the Earth is very similar to the field around a bar magnet

What else is produced during the combustion of butane, C4H10?<br><br> 2C4H10 + 13O2 → <br> + 10H2O
Neko [114]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

8CO₂

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given;

  • Butane, C₄H₁₀
  • Butane is a hydrocarbon in the homologous series known as alkane.

We are required to determine the other product produced in the combustion of butane apart from water.

  • We know that the complete combustion of alkane yields carbon dioxide and water.
  • Therefore, combustion of butane will yield carbon dioxide and water.
  • The balanced equation for the complete combustion of butane will be;

       2C₄H₁₀ + 13O₂ →  8CO₂ + 10H₂O
