Solid carbon (C) can burn in oxygen (O2). Select

Chemistry

Answer:

  • CO₂

Explanation:

The equation that you have to complete is:

  • C + O₂ → ?

This is, you have to find the products formed and the coefficients in front of each substance to balance the chemical equation.

Carbon may react with oxygen using oxidation number 2 or 4.

If carbon uses oxidation number 2, the chemical equation is:

  • 2C + O₂ → 2CO

If carbon uses oxidation number 4, the chemical equation is:

  • C + O₂ → CO₂

Normally, an incomplete combustion yields to a mixture of products: both CO and CO₂, and it only happens when the amount of oxygen is limitied.

When there is plenty of oxygen available, the combustion is complete and the only product of the reaction is CO₂.

With that information, and the fact that the list of choices do not include CO as product, you conclude that this is a complete combustion, and the chemical equation is:

  • C + O₂ → CO₂

So, the choice that completes the chemical equation is CO₂.

Potassium hydrogen phthalate is a solid, monoprotic acid frequently used in the laboratory to standardize strong base solutions.
Norma-Jean [14]

2 KHP(aq) + Ba(OH)_{2}(aq) ---> KP_{2}Ba (aq) + 2 H_{2}O (l)\

Moles of Ba(OH)_{2}=0.483 \frac{mol}{L} * 28.5 mL *\frac{1 L}{1000mL}  = 0.0138 mol Ba(OH)_{2}

Mass of KHP = 0.0138 mol Ba(OH)_{2} * \frac{2 mol KHP}{1 mol Ba(OH)_{2}}  * \frac{204.22 g KHP}{1mol KHP}

= 5.64 g KHP

elixir [45]

Answer:

Hello your question is poorly written below is the well written question

Uranium, an important component of both nuclear weapons and nuclear reactors, has two major isotopes, U-238, which has a half-life of  approximately 4.5 billion years, and U-235, which has a half-life of approximately 700 million years. Both were present in equal amounts at the time of the creation of the Earth, 4.5  billion years ago. How many years after the creation of the Earth had the amount of radiation from uranium decayed to half the amount present at the time of the creation of the Earth

Answer : 140 billion years

Explanation:

Given that :

U-238   h1/2 = 4.5 billion years

U-235   h1/2 = 700 million years

At the beginning both Isotopes where present in equal amount

Determine the T years before the amount of Uranium decays to Half

T =   ?    N'2 = N1 / 2

we know that N = No ( 1/2 )^h   where h = time / half-life time

attached below is the detailed solution of the given problem
