Write a balanced equation for the complete combustion of solid palmitic acid. Remember that oxygen (O2(g)) is necessary for the

combustion to occur, and carbon dioxide gas and water are the only products. Use H2O(l) in the balanced chemical equation because the metabolism of these compounds produces liquid water. Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer.

Answer:

C₁₆H₃₂O₂ (s) + 22O₂(g) → 16CO₂(g) + 16H₂O(g)

Explanation:

In order to determine a combustion reaction we should know that:

Reactants are: X compound and O₂

Products are: CO₂ and H₂O

In this case, the X compound is the solid palmitic acid: C₁₆H₃₂O₂

The balanced equation will be:

C₁₆H₃₂O₂ (s) + 22O₂(g) → 16CO₂(g) + 16H₂O(g)

Can somebody explain step by step how to solve decomposition reactions?
SVEN [57.7K]
A decomposition reaction occurs when one reactant breaks down into two or more products. It can be represented by the general equation:

AB → A + B
In this equation, AB represents the reactant that begins the reaction, and A and B represent the products of the reaction. The arrow shows the direction in which the reaction occurs.

Calculate the pH of a solution in which one normal adult dose of aspirin (640 mg ) is dissolved in 10 ounces of water. Express y
d1i1m1o1n [39]

The pH of the solution in which one normal adult dose aspirin is dissolved is :  2.7

Given data :

mass of aspirin = 640 mg = 0.640 g

volume of water = 10 ounces = 0.295735 L

molar mass of aspirin = 180.16 g/mol

moles of aspirin = mass / molar mass = 0.00355 mol

<h3>Determine the pH of the solution </h3>

First step : <u>calculate the concentration of aspirin</u>

= moles of Aspirin / volume of water

= 0.00355 / 0.295735

= 0.012 M

Given that pKa of Aspirin = 3.5

pKa = -logKa

therefore ; Ka = 10^{-3.5} = 3.162 * 10^{-4}

From the Ice table

3.162 * 10^{-4} = \frac{x + H^+}{[aspirin]}  = \frac{x^{2} }{0.012-x}

given that the value of Ka is small we will ignore -x

x² = 3.162 * 10^{-4} * 0.012

x = 1.948 * 10^{-3}  

Therefore

[ H⁺ ] = 1.948 * 10^{-3}

given that

pH = - Log [ H⁺ ]

     = - ( -3 + log 1.948 )

     = 2.71 ≈ 2.7

Hence we can conclude that The pH of the solution in which one normal adult dose aspirin is dissolved is :  2.7

What is the volume of 40.0 grams of argon gas at STP ?
MrRa [10]

Answer:

24.9 L Ar

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Atomic Structure</u>

  • Reading a Periodic Table
  • Moles
  • STP (Standard Conditions for Temperature and Pressure) = 22.4 L per mole at 1 atm, 273 K

<u>Aqueous Solutions</u>

  • States of Matter

<u>Stoichiometry</u>

  • Using Dimensional Analysis

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[Given] 40.0 g Ar

[Solve] L Ar

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

[PT] Molar Mass of Ar - 39.95 g/mol

[STP] 22.4 L = 1 mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

  1. [DA] Set up:                                                                                                       \displaystyle 40.0 \ g \ Ar(\frac{1 \ mol \ Ar}{39.95 \ g \ Ar})(\frac{22.4 \ L \ Ar}{1 \ mol \ Ar})
  2. [DA] Divide/Multiply [Cancel out units]:                                                         \displaystyle 24.9235 \ L \ Ar

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

24.9235 L Ar ≈ 24.9 L Ar
