Answer:

C₄H₁₀(g) + O₂(g) ⇒ CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

2 C₄H₁₀(g) + 13 O₂(g) ⇒ 8 CO₂(g) + 10 H₂O(g)

Explanation:

Butane gas (C₄H₁₀) burns in oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide gas and water vapor. The unbalanced equation is:

C₄H₁₀(g) + O₂(g) ⇒ CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

First, we will balance carbon and hydrogen which are in just one compound on each side.

C₄H₁₀(g) + O₂(g) ⇒ 4 CO₂(g) + 5 H₂O(g)

Finally, we will balance the oxygen atoms.

C₄H₁₀(g) + 6.5 O₂(g) ⇒ 4 CO₂(g) + 5 H₂O(g)

In order to have integers, we will multiply everý compound by 2.

2 C₄H₁₀(g) + 13 O₂(g) ⇒ 8 CO₂(g) + 10 H₂O(g)

Uranium-238 decays to Lead-206. Both Rock X and Rock Y initially had a ratio of 100%. Uranium-238 to 0% Lead-206. Today, Rock X
kati45 [8]

Answer:

Rock Y

Explanation:

The rock that is older shall be determined based on the number of half lives it has witnessed. A half life is simply the amount of time required for a sample to decay to half of its original mass.

Rock X

From 100% uranium, it decays to 50% uranium.  This means it went through just one half life.

Rock Y

From 100% uranium to 25% uranium

100 --> 50 (first half life)

50 --> 25 (second half life)

This means it wen through 2 half lives.

Rock Y is older than Rock X

What is an example of how to supply activation energy to begin reaction
Sergio039 [100]

Heating the reaction flask on a hot plate is an example of supplying activation energy to begin a reaction.

Explanation:

<u>Definition:</u>

Activation energy is defined as the minimum amount of energy required to start a particular chemical reaction.

For example: When hydrogen and oxygen are mixed together it does not immediately start the reaction to form water. So, to start the reaction a small electric spark is provided or it is heated to provide some energy. This energy causes the molecules of hydrogen and water to react, thus producing even more molecules to react and finally water is formed.

Here the electric spark or the heat provided is the activation energy.

What results when two waves that are completely out of phase meet?
ELEN [110]

Answer:

The result is a superposition which is twice the amplitude of each input wave. Φ = π means the two waves are completely OUT OF PHASE, and so add completely destructively. The result is a superposition which has no amplitude at all.

Explanation:

The result is a superposition which is twice the amplitude of each input wave. Φ = π means the two waves are completely OUT OF PHASE, and so add completely destructively. The result is a superposition which has no amplitude at all.
