Only 1 molecule of NH3 will be produced in the following reaction since it requires 2 moles of nitrogen and excess hydrogen to create one molecule. We can't create more than one since we only have 1 of the nitrogen molecule remaining.
Answer:
2C₄H₁₀(g) + 13O₂(g) —> 8CO₂(g) + 10H₂O(g)
Explanation:
The balanced equation for the reaction between butane and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water can be written as follow:
C₄H₁₀ + O₂ —> CO₂ + H₂O
Next, we shall balanced the equation. This is illustrated below:
C₄H₁₀ + O₂ —> CO₂ + H₂O
There are 4 atoms of C on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by writing 4 before CO₂ as shown below:
C₄H₁₀ + O₂ —> 4CO₂ + H₂O
There are 10 atoms of H on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by writing 5 before H₂O as shown below:
C₄H₁₀ + O₂ —> 4CO₂ + 5H₂O
There are 2 atoms of O on the left side and a total of 13 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by writing 13/2 before O₂ as shown below:
C₄H₁₀ + 13/2O₂ —> 4CO₂ + 5H₂O
Multiply through by 2 to express in whole number ratio.
2C₄H₁₀(g) + 13O₂(g) —> 8CO₂(g) + 10H₂O(g)
Thus, the equation is balanced.
Answer:
e. oxygen is a reactant in combustion and pure oxygen increases the reactant concentration
Explanation:
The reaction of a burning match is combustion. In this combustion, the organic components of the match (such as cellulose, C₆H₁₀O₅) react with oxygen, producing water and carbon dioxide:
- C₆H₁₀O₅(s) + 6O₂(g) → 5H₂O(g) + 6CO₂(g)
Seeing as oxygen is a reactant and not a catalyst nor product, and that nitrogen plays no part in the reaction, <em>the only correct answer is option e</em>.
