Answer :

(1) The number of grams needed of each fuel (C_2H_6)\text{ and }(C_4H_{10}) are 19.23 g and 20.41 g respectively.

(2) The number of moles of each fuel (C_2H_6)\text{ and }(C_4H_{10}) are 0.641 moles and 0.352 moles respectively.

(3) The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of the fuels.

C_2H_6+\frac{7}{2}O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O

C_4H_{10}+\frac{13}{2}O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+5H_2O

(4) The number of moles of CO_2 produced by burning each fuel is 1.28 mole and 1.41 mole respectively.

The fuel that emitting least amount of CO_2 is C_2H_6

Explanation :

<u>Part 1 :</u>

First we have to calculate the number of grams needed of each fuel (C_2H_6)\text{ and }(C_4H_{10}).

As, 52 kJ energy required amount of C_2H_6 = 1 g

So, 1000 kJ energy required amount of C_2H_6 = \frac{1000}{52}=19.23g

and,

As, 49 kJ energy required amount of C_4H_{10} = 1 g

So, 1000 kJ energy required amount of C_4H_{10} = \frac{1000}{49}=20.41g

<u>Part 2 :</u>

Now we have to calculate the number of moles of each fuel (C_2H_6)\text{ and }(C_4H_{10}).

Molar mass of C_2H_6 = 30 g/mole

Molar mass of C_4H_{10} = 58 g/mole

\text{ Moles of }C_2H_6=\frac{\text{ Mass of }C_2H_6}{\text{ Molar mass of }C_2H_6}=\frac{19.23g}{30g/mole}=0.641moles

and,

\text{ Moles of }C_4H_{10}=\frac{\text{ Mass of }C_4H_{10}}{\text{ Molar mass of }C_4H_{10}}=\frac{20.41g}{58g/mole}=0.352moles

<u>Part 3 :</u>

Now we have to write down the balanced chemical equation for the combustion of the fuels.

The balanced chemical reaction for combustion of C_2H_6 is:

C_2H_6+\frac{7}{2}O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O

and,

The balanced chemical reaction for combustion of C_4H_{10} is:

C_4H_{10}+\frac{13}{2}O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+5H_2O

<u>Part 4 :</u>

Now we have to calculate the number of moles of CO_2 produced by burning each fuel to produce 1000 kJ.

C_2H_6+\frac{7}{2}O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O

From this we conclude that,

As, 1 mole of C_2H_6 react to produce 2 moles of CO_2

As, 0.641 mole of C_2H_6 react to produce 0.641\times 2=1.28 moles of CO_2

and,

C_4H_{10}+\frac{13}{2}O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+5H_2O

From this we conclude that,

As, 1 mole of C_4H_{10} react to produce 4 moles of CO_2

As, 0.352 mole of C_4H_{10} react to produce 0.352\times 4=1.41 moles of CO_2

So, the fuel that emitting least amount of CO_2 is C_2H_6

Help PLEASEEE !!!!!! will give brainliest !
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

6. O₂ + Cu —> CuO

7. H₂ + Fe₂O₃ —> H₂O + Fe

8. O₂ + H₂ — > H₂O

9. H₂S + NaOH —> Na₂S + H₂O

10. Al + HCl —> H₂ + AlCl₃

Explanation:

6. Oxygen gas react with solid copper metal to form copper(II) oxide

Oxygen gas => O₂

Copper => Cu

copper(II) oxide => CuO

The equation is:

O₂ + Cu —> CuO

7. hydrogen gas and iron(III) oxide powder react to form liquid water and solid iron power

hydrogen gas => H₂

Iron(III) oxide => Fe₂O₃

Water => H₂O

Iron => Fe

The equation is:

H₂ + Fe₂O₃ —> H₂O + Fe

8. Oxygen gas react with hydrogen gas to form liquid water

Oxygen gas => O₂

hydrogen gas => H₂

Water => H₂O

The equation is:

O₂ + H₂ — > H₂O

9. Hydrogen sulphide gas is bubbled through a sodium hydroxide solution to produce sodium sulphide and liquid water

hydrogen sulphide => H₂S

sodium hydroxide => NaOH

Sodium sulphide => Na₂S

Water => H₂O

The equation is:

H₂S + NaOH —> Na₂S + H₂O

10. Hydrogen gas and aluminum chloride solutions are produced when solid aluminum react with hydrochloric acid

Aluminum => Al

Hydrochloric acid => HCl

hydrogen gas => H₂

Aluminum chloride => AlCl₃

The equation is:

Al + HCl —> H₂ + AlCl₃

MrRa [10]

During the riding of the steep mountain, the body needs more energy because going up consume more energy and oxygen due to additional effect of gravity on your momentum.

<h3>What is the effect of cycling?</h3>

Cycling is a good exercise as swimming, while cycling, happy hormones are released like dopamine and serotonin.

The primary forces that work while cycling are gravity, friction, rolling resistance, and air resistance.

Thus, During the riding of the steep mountain, the bod needs more energy because going up consume more energy and oxygen due to additional effect of gravity on your momentum.
