A barometer is an instrument used to measure air pressure. A barometer is a tube with mercury inside of it. It's open on one end and closed on another and the weight of the air pushes on the mercury inside of the tube.

PLEASE HELP!?!.!,! What are the products of the combustion of a hydrocarbon?
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

carbon dioxide and water

Explanation:

Example: Combustion of Methane (CH₄(g))

CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g) => CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(g)**

____________________

Note: The combustion of any hydrocarbon produces CO₂ & H₂O. That is,

Ethane (C₂H₆) + O₂ => CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

Propane (C₃H₈) + O₂ => CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

Butane (C₄H₁₀) + O₂ => CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

The issue remaining is to balance the reaction equation. For these type equation balance Carbon 1st, then Hydrogen and finish with Oxygen. Balancing in this order leaves Oxygen which can be balanced using fractions. If problem requires lowest whole number ratios of elements, simply multiply entire equation by 2 to get standard equation*

______________________

*Standard Equation is defined as the smallest whole number ratios of elements. The 'standard equation' is significant in that it is assumed to be at STP conditions; i.e., 0⁰C (=273K) & 1.0 Atmosphere pressure.

  • Ethane (C₂H₆) + 7/2O₂(g) => 2CO₂(g) + 3H₂O(g)

    => 2C₂H₆ + 7O₂(g) => 4CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(g)  <= Standard Form of Rxn

  • Propane (C₃H₈) + 5O₂(g) => 3CO₂(g) + 4H₂O(g) <= Standard Form of Rxn (no need to balance with the '2' multiple)
  • Butane (C₄H₁₀) + 13/2O₂ => 4CO₂(g) + 5H₂O(g)

    => 2C₃H₈ + 13O₂(g) => 4CO₂(g) + 5H₂O(g) <= Standard Form of Rxn

______________________

**Also, note that water, H₂O(g), is listed as a gas. In some cases it will be listed as a liquid, H₂O(l).

When a plant is entering the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis_____.
Andrei [34K]

B). light energy is not required to proceed

Explanation:

In the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis, light energy is not required. The Calvin cycle is light independent and it is made up of a series of redox reactions.

  • During photosynthesis reactions, green plants manufacture their food using carbon dioxide, sunlight and water.
  • During the Calvin cycle aspect, light energy is not required for chemical reactions to take place. The light energy helps to move electrons.
  • The cycle is also known as dark reactions.
  • It is at this stage that carbon dioxide combines with water to form glucose.
  • The reaction is initiated with light energy which produces NADPH and ATP.
  • The Calvin cycle follows by using the NADPH and ATP to produce glucose in the dark phase.
