Answer: The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of benzene is:

2C_6H_6+15O_2\rightarrow 12CO_2+6H_2O

Explanation:

Combustion reactions : It is defined as the reactions in which a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water as a product.

Balanced chemical reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the number of atoms of individual elements present on reactant side must be equal to the product side.

The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of benzene will be:

2C_6H_6+15O_2\rightarrow 12CO_2+6H_2O

By Stoichiometry of the reaction we can say that,

2 mole of benzene reacts with 15 moles of oxygen gas to produce 12 moles of carbon dioxide and 6 moles of water molecule.

Zinc will displace copper from a solution of copper sulfate, and magnesium will displace zinc from a solution of zinc sulfate. W
Anna [14]

Answer:

The displacement reactions are regarded as redox reactions because they involve the formal transfer of electrons from one chemical specie to the other

2) The series of reactivity of the metals in the order of increasing reactivity are;

  • Copper

           ↓

  • Zinc

           ↓

  • Magnesium

Explanation:

1) Redox (oxidation-reduction) reaction is a chemical reaction involving the loss and gain of electrons from one chemical species to another, where the chemical species that undergoes oxidation, loses electrons and is termed the reducing agent, while the other chemical species that undergoes reduction, gains electrons, and is termed the oxidizing agent

2) The redox reaction can being based on the affinity for electrons depends on the positions of the reactants in the electrochemical series as well as the chemical reactivity of the metals with zinc being a stronger reducing agent and more chemically reactive than copper and magnesium being a stronger reducing agent and more chemically reactive than zinc

Least  reactive (Cu)  <     (Zn)        < Mg Most reactive

Copper                     <      Zinc       < Magnesium.

The mechanical advantage of a device refers to
Savatey [412]

Answer:

Mechanical advantage is a measure of the force amplification achieved by using a tool, mechanical device or machine system. The device preserves the input power and simply trades off input forces against movement to obtain a desired amplification in the output force. The model for this is the law of the lever.

Additional solute is added to a saturated solution of a solid and a liquid after being heated above room temperature. Once no mo
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

After the solution is heated, but before additional solute is added

Explanation:

An unsaturated solution is a solution that contains less solute than it can normally hold at a given temperature. Hence an unsaturated solution can still dissolve more solute.

When the solution is heated, the saturated cold solution becomes an unsaturated hot solution which is capable of dissolving more solute at this point.

Once more solute is dissolved, the solution becomes saturated again just before it begins to cool since no more solute dissolves in the solution at some point before cooling and addition of seed crystals.

Answer: The correct answer is -297 kJ.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we want to modify each of the equations given to get the equation at the bottom of the photo. To do this, we realize that we need SO2 on the right side of the equation (as a product). This lets us know that we must reverse the first equation. This gives us:

2SO3 —> O2 + 2SO2 (196 kJ)

Remember that we take the opposite of the enthalpy change (reverse the sign) when we reverse the equation.

Now, both equations have double the coefficients that we would like (for example, there is 2S in the second equation when we need only S). This means we should multiply each equation (and their enthalpy changes) by 1/2. This gives us:

SO3 —>1/2O2 + SO2 (98 kJ)

S + 3/2O2 —> SO3 (-395 kJ)

Now, we add the two equations together. Notice that the SO3 in the reactants in the first equation and the SO3 in the products of the second equation cancel. Also note that O2 is present on both sides of the equation, so we must subtract 3/2 - 1/2, giving us a net 1O2 on the left side of the equation.

S + O2 —> SO2

Now, we must add the enthalpies together to get our final answer.

-395 kJ + 98 kJ = -297 kJ

Hope this helps!
