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

However, when the temperature increases, the solubility of gaseous solutes will _______?
babunello [35]

Answer:

Decrease

Explanation:

Since the speed in which the gas molecules are faster as they are heated, they fly around in the container and logically, it is harder to insert a moving object into water than something more stationary or slower.

20 mL of Ba(OH)2 solution with unknown concentration was neutralized by the addition of 43.89 mL of a .1355 M HCl solution. Calc
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Concentration of the barium ions  = [Ba^{2+}] = 0.4654 M

Concentration of the chloride ions  = [Cl^{-}]=0.9308 M

Explanation:

Moles (n)=Molarity(M)\times Volume (L)

Moles of hydrogen chloride = n

Volume of hydrogen chloride solution = 43.89 mL = 0.04389 L

Molarity of the hydrogen chloride  = 0.1355 M

n=0.1355 M\times  0.04389 L=0.005947 mol

Ba(OH)_2+2HCl\rightarrow BaCl_2+2H_2O

According to reaction, 2 moles of HCl reacts with 1 mole of barium hydroxide.

Then 0.05947 moles of HCl will react with:

\frac{1}{2}\times 0.05947 mol=0.029735 mol barium hydroxide

Moles of barium hydroxide = 0.029735 mol

Ba(OH)_2(aq)\rightarrow Ba^{2+}(aq)+2OH^-(aq)

1 mole of barium hydroxide gives 1 mole of barium ion in an aqueous solution. Then 0.029735 moles of barium hydroxide will give:

=1\times 0.029735 mol= 0.029735 mol

Volume of solution after neutralization reaction :

= 20.0 mL + 43.89 mL  = 63.89 mL = 0.06389 L

Concentration of the barium ions =[Ba^{2+}]

[Ba^{2+}]=\frac{0.029735 mol}{0.06389 L}=0.4654 M

Ba(Cl)_2(aq)\rightarrow Ba^{2+}(aq)+2Cl^-(aq)

1 mole of barium chloride gives 1 mole of barium ions and 2 moles of chloride ions in an aqueous solution.

Then concentration of chloride ions will be:

[Cl^-]=2\times [Ba^{2+}]=2\times 0.4654 M=0.9308 M

true or false, Valence bond theory states that a bond between two atoms is the strongest when the nuclei of the atoms are touchi
pentagon [3]

Valence bond theory stating that a bond between two atoms is the strongest when the nuclei of the atoms are touching each other is true.

<h3>What is Valence bond theory?</h3>

This theory states that when two valence orbitals of two different atoms overlap on each other, the bond is usually strong.

The bond formed in this scenario is usually covalent which involves sharing of the valence electrons.

Provide a balanced molecular equation, total ionic, and net ionic equation for sodium phosphate and zinc acetate.
vivado [14]

Answer: Balanced molecular equation :

2Na_3PO_4(aq)+3(CH_3COO)_2Zn(aq)\rightarrow 6CH_3COONa(aq)+Zn_3(PO_4)_2(s)

Total ionic equation:

6Na^+(aq)+3PO_4^{2-}(aq)+6CH_3COO^-(aq)+3Zn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow 6CH_3COO^-(aq)+6Na^+(aq)+Zn_3(PO_4)_2(s)  

The net ionic equation:

2PO_4^{3-}(aq)+3Zn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Zn_3(PO_4)_2(s)

Explanation:

Complete ionic equation : In complete ionic equation, all the substances that are strong electrolyte are present in an aqueous state as ions.

Net ionic equation : In the net ionic equations, we are not include the spectator ions in the equations.

Spectator ions : The ions present on reactant and product side which do not participate in a reactions. The same ions present on both the sides.

When sodium phosphate and zinc acetate then it gives zinc phosphate and sodium acetate as  product.

The balanced molecular equation will be,

2Na_3PO_4(aq)+3(CH_3COO)_2Zn(aq)\rightarrow 6CH_3COONa(aq)+Zn_3(PO_4)_2(s)

The total ionic equation in separated aqueous solution will be,

6Na^+(aq)+2PO_4^{3-}(aq)+6CH_3COO^-(aq)+3Zn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow 6CH_3COO^-(aq)+6Na^+(aq)+Zn_3(PO_4)_2(s)

In this equation, and  are the spectator ions.

By removing the spectator ions from the balanced ionic equation, we get the net ionic equation.

The net ionic equation will be,

2PO_4^{3-}(aq)+3Zn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Zn_3(PO_4)_2(s)
