Answer:

The balanced equation for the complete oxidation reaction uses 2 moles of butane and 13 moles of Oxygen.

Explanation:

The oxidation of butane is shown in the following picture. As it is a complete combustion, the products of this reaction are carbon dioxide and water.

When 0.5141 g of biphenyl (C12H10) undergoes combustion in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature rises from 25.823 °C to 29.419 °C
natka813 [3]

Answer:

\Delta_{r}U of the reaction is -6313 kJ/mol

\Delta_{r}H of the reaction is -6312 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Temperature\,\,change= \Delta U = 29.419-25.823 =3.506^{o}C

q_{cal}= C \times \Delta T

=5.861 \times 3.596 = 21.076\,kJ

q_{rxn}= -q_{cal}= -21.076\,kJ

\Delta_{r}U= -21.076 \times \frac{154}{0.5141}= -6313\, kJ/mol

Therefore, \Delta_{r}U of the reaction is -6313 kJ/mol.

The chemical reaction in bomb calorimeter  is as follows.

C_{12}H_{10}(s)+\frac{27}{2}O_{2}(g)\rightarrow 12CO_{2}(g)+5H_{2}O(g)

Number\,of\,moles\Delta n=(12+5)-\frac{27}{2}=3.5

\Delta_{r}H=\Delta E+ \Delta n. RT

=-6313+3.5\times 8.314\times 10^{-3} \times 3.596=-6312\,kJ/mol

Therefore, \Delta_{r}H of the reaction is -6312 kJ/mol.

What is the chemical equation( formula ) of the reaction of photosynthesis
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

The process of photosynthesis is commonly written as: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Explanation:

This means that the reactants, six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules, are converted by light energy captured by chlorophyll (implied by the arrow) into a sugar molecule and six oxygen molecules, the products.
