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.

Between Na and Na+ which has larger size​
viva [34]

Answer:

Na+ is smaller than Na because, it has given away one electron because of which the electron shielding gets stronger due to more protons and less electrons. Whereas, Cl- is larger than Cl because it has gained an extra electron and so, the no.07‏/12‏/2010

Which of the following is not true of acids?
NeTakaya

Answer is: 2. dillute acids feel slipper.

1) Acids are corrosive is correct. For example hydrochloric acid (HCl) will react with most metals.

2) Dillute acids feel slippery is not correct. Bases, for example solution of sodium hydroxide feels slipery.

3) Acids have a distinctly sour taste is correct. For example, vinegar is mixture of acetic acid (CH₃COOH) and water (H₂O). Vinegar is colourless liquid with sour taste and pungent smell, freezing point of the vinegar is lower than glacial acetic acid.

4) Acids have more hydronium ions than hydroxide ions is correct. Because acid gives a lot of hydrogen cations (H⁺), pH (pH = -log[H⁺]) is lower than seven (acidic solution).
