How many moles of co2 are produced when 5.20 mol of ethane are burned in an excess of oxygen?

1 answer:

6 0

2C2H6 + 7O2 = 4CO2 + 6H2O

According to the equation of the reaction of ethane combustion, ethane and carbon dioxide have following stoichiometric ratio:

n(C2H6) : n(CO2) = 1 : 2

n(CO2) = 2 x n(C2H6)

n(CO2) = 2 x 5.2 = 10.4 mole of CO2 is formed

Minerals with the silicon-oxygen structure shown in Figure 2-1 are classified into what group?

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer : Option D) Silicates.

Explanation : The minerals with the silicon-oxygen structures are classified as silicates.

As per the definition, A silicate is any member of a family which has anions consisting of silicon and oxygen, usually they have the general formula as [SiO].

It usually has a structure which has a central silicon ion which has a charge of (+4) while each oxygen has a charge of negative two (-2) and thus each silicon-oxygen bond is equal to one half (1/2) of the total bond energy of oxygen. Therefore, it confirms that the answer is Silicates.

A scientist is studying the effect of climate change on a population of fur seals living on an island off the coast of Alaska. F

solniwko [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

The only factor that would not decrease the carrying capacity of the fur seal's environment is the population of predators.

The carrying capacity is defined as the maximum number of individuals of a species an environment can sustain based on the resources available. Hence, only a fluctuation in the resources available in the environment of the fur seal can affect the carrying capacity.

Pollution and destruction of the habitat of the fur seal would limit the resources available to the animals and as such, limit the carrying capacity. A fluctuation in the population of prey available for the population of fur seals would also affect the carrying capacity.

The only factor that has no bearing on the carrying capacity of the fur seal's environment is the population of predators. Predators have the capacity to reduce the population of fur seals but not affect the carrying capacity for fur seals.

The correct option is, therefore, A.
