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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Vitek1552 [10]3 years ago

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.

Unlike nuclear reactions, nuclear reactions are not affected by changes in temperature,
pressure, of the presence of catalysts. Also nuclear reactions of given radioisotope cannot be slowed down, speeded up, or stopped.

If a wave has a wavelength of 13 meters and a period of 0.005, what's the velocity of the wave? A. 2,600 m/s B. 260 m/s C. 1,300
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

V = 2600ms⁻¹

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Wavelength(λ) = 13meters

Period (T) = 0.005s

Period(T) is the time it takes for a full cycle of vibration to pass through. It's unit is in seconds (s)

The Velocity of waves is expressed as:

V = fλ

Where f = frequency(s⁻¹)

Frequency of a wave is the number of waves that passes through a point per unit time

f = 1/T

Where T is the period

We can therefore express Velocity of waves as a function of period

V = λ/T

Inputing the parameters, we have:

V = 13m / 0.005s

V = 2600ms⁻¹
