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)

Combustion analysis of 0.300 g of an unknown compound containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen produced 0.5213 g of co2 and 0.283
Lyrx [107]
First, we have to get how many grams of C & H & O in the compound:
- the mass of C on CO2 = mass of CO2*molar mass of C /molar mass of CO2
                                        = 0.5213 * 12 / 44 = 0.142 g
- the mass of H atom on H2O = mass of H2O*molar mass of H / molar mass of H2O
                                                 =0.2835 * 2 / 18 = 0.0315 g
- the mass of O = the total mass - the mass of C atom - the mass of H atom
                          =  0.3 - 0.142 - 0.0315 = 0.1265 g
Convert the mass to mole by divided by molar mass
C(0.142/12) H(0.0315/2) O(0.1265/16) 
C(0.0118) H(0.01575) O(0.0079) by dividing by the smallest value 0.0079
C1.504 H3.99 O1 by rounding to the nearst fraction
C3/2 H4/1 )1/1 multiply by 2 
∴ the emprical formula C3H8O2

What is the melting point of a substance?
Alona [7]

Answer:

The answer is C) The temperature at which the solid-state turns into liquid

Explanation:

The melting point of a substance is the temperature at which it shifts state from solid to liquid. At the melting point, the solid and liquid levels exist in equilibrium. As heat is applied to a solid, its temperature will increase until the melting point is reached. More heat then will convert the solid into a liquid with no temperature change. This occurs when the internal energy of the solid increases, commonly by the application of heat or pressure, which increases the substance's temperature to the melting point.
