Answer:

+3

Explanation:

The oxygen all have a -2 oxidation state. (peroxides are exceptions)

The chemical structure is symmetrical. Both carbon are equivalent.

2 (oxidation state of carbon) + 4 (oxidation state of oxygen) = charge of ion.

2 (oxidation state of carbon) + 4 (-2) = -2

oxidation state of carbon = +3

Answer:

+3

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, by knowing that the molecule has the following oxidation states structure, one can solve for the carbon's oxidation state via the total ion's charge as shown below:

(C_2^xO_4^{-2})^{2-}\\2x-8=-2\\x=\frac{-2+8}{2}=+3

Therefore, the carbon's oxidation state is +3

Best regards.

A gas contains 75.0 wt% methane, 10.0% ethane, 5.0% ethylene, and the balance water. (a) Calculate the molar composition of this
NeTakaya

Answer:

a)  molar composition of this gas on both a wet and a dry basis are

5.76 moles and 5.20 moles respectively.

Ratio of moles of water to the moles of dry gas =0.108 moles

b) Total air required = 68.51 kmoles/h

So, if combustion is 75% complete; then it is termed as incomplete combustion which require the same amount the same amount of air but varying product will be produced.

Explanation:

Let assume we have 100 g of mixture of gas:

Given that :

Mass of methane =75 g

Mass of ethane = 10 g

Mass of ethylene = 5 g

∴ Mass of the balanced water: 100 g - (75 g + 10 g + 5 g)

Their molar composition can be calculated as follows:

Molar mass of methane CH_4}= 16 g/mol

Molar mass of ethane C_2H_6= 30 g/mol

Molar mass of ethylene C_2H_4 = 28 g/mol

Molar mass of water H_2O=18g/mol

number of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

Their molar composition can be calculated as follows:

n_{CH_4}= \frac{75}{16}

n_{CH_4}= 4.69 moles

n_{C_2H_6} = \frac{10}{30}

n_{C_2H_6} = 0.33 moles

n_{C_2H_4} = \frac{5}{28}

n_{C_2H_4} = 0.18 moles

n_{H_2O}= \frac{10}{18}

n_{H_2O}= 0.56 moles

Total moles of gases for wet basis = (4.69 + 0.33 + 0.18 + 0.56) moles

= 5.76 moles

Total moles of gas for dry basis = (5.76 - 0.56)moles

= 5.20 moles

Ratio of moles of water to the moles of dry gas = \frac{n_{H_2O}}{n_{drygas}}

= \frac{0.56}{5.2}

= 0.108 moles

b) If 100 kg/h of this fuel is burned with 30% excess air(combustion); then we have the following equations:

    CH_4 + 2O_2_{(g)} ------> CO_2_{(g)} +2H_2O

4.69         2× 4.69

moles       moles

   C_2H_6+ \frac{7}{2}O_2_{(g)} ------> 2CO_2_{(g)} + 3H_2O

0.33      3.5 × 0.33

moles    moles

    C_2H_4+3O_2_{(g)} ----->2CO_2+2H_2O

0.18           3× 0.18

moles        moles

Mass flow rate = 100 kg/h

Their Molar Flow rate is as follows;

CH_4 = 4.69 k moles/h\\C_2H_6 = 0.33 k moles/h\\C_2H_4=0.18kmoles/h

Total moles of O_2 required = (2 × 4.69) + (3.5 × 0.33) + (3 × 0.18) k moles

= 11.075 k moles.

In 1 mole air = 0.21 moles O_2

Thus, moles of air required = \frac{1}{0.21}*11.075

= 52.7 k mole

30% excess air = 0.3 × 52.7 k moles

= 15.81 k moles

Total air required = (52.7 + 15.81 ) k moles/h

= 68.51 k moles/h

So, if combustion is 75% complete; then it is termed as incomplete combustion which require the same amount the same amount of air but varying product will be produced.

What is the indicator of the number of ions in solution?
Andru [333]

Answer:

The amount of solute added.

Explanation:

The amount of solute added is directly proportional to the number of ions.

The higher the amount added the higher the number of moles.

The number of moles is multiplied by the Avogadro's constant to get the number ions.

No of ions= No of moles × L

L is the Avogadro's number.
