The correct subscript for the reaction would be two. Oxygen gas exists as a diatomic molecule in nature. Also, the subscript two would balance the reaction. In balancing reactions, it is important that the atoms on each side of the reaction is equal.

balandron [24]

Answer:

Investigating a data breach

Explanation:

A data breach usually involves data exfiltration over a computer network. the other options involve data being stored on a device locally which isn't volatile data like text messages, photos or rearranging data in defragmentation all of which does not require a network.

n unknown metal is either aluminum, iron or lead. If 150. g of this metal at 150.0 °C was placed in a calorimeter that contains
Nitella [24]

Answer : The metal used was iron (the specific heat capacity is 0.449J/g^oC).

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

q_1=-q_2

m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)

where,

c_1 = specific heat of unknown metal = ?

c_2 = specific heat of water = 4.184J/g^oC

m_1 = mass of unknown metal = 150 g

m_2 = mass of water = 200 g

T_f = final temperature of water = 34.3^oC

T_1 = initial temperature of unknown metal = 150.0^oC

T_2 = initial temperature of water = 25.0^oC

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get

150g\times c_1\times (34.3-150.0)^oC=-200g\times 4.184J/g^oC\times (34.3-25.0)^oC

c_1=0.449J/g^oC

Form the value of specific heat of unknown metal, we conclude that the metal used in this was iron (Fe).

Therefore, the metal used was iron (the specific heat capacity is 0.449J/g^oC).

The enthalpy of combustion of gasoline (C8H18) is 5471 kJ mol-1. How much heat will be produced by burning 1 gallon of gasoline
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

127529 KJ

Explanation:

Since 1gallon = 3.78 L= 3780 ml

The density of C8H18= 0.703 g/mL

Density = mass/volume

Mass= Density × volume

Mass= 0.703 g/mL × 3780 ml

Mass= 2657.34 g

Molar mass of C8H18= 114 g/mol

Number of moles= mass/molar mass

Number of moles= 2657.34/114

Number of moles= 23.31 moles

Since 1 mole evolved=5471 kJ

23.31 moles = 5471 kJ × 23.31 = 127529 KJ

Translate the world equation in skeleton equation and balance them
alexdok [17]

Answer:

The balanced equation is: H2 (g) +Cl2 (g) →2HCl (g)

Explanation:

Balancing chemical equation refers to balancing the stoichiometric coefficients on the reactants and products side. This must be done as the chemical equation obeys the law of conservation of mass and momentum.

The representation of a chemical reaction in the form of substances is known as a chemical equation. The equation in which the number of atoms of all the molecules is equal on both sides of the equation is known as a balanced chemical equation. The Law of conservation of mass governs the balancing of a chemical equation.

Given chemical equation

The balanced chemical equation for the hydrogen + chlorine -> Hydrogen Chloride.

H2 + Cl2 → 2HCl

The equation is balanced as on the reactants side there are two hydrogens present and the same on the products side. For chlorine as well the same thing goes two chlorine atoms on the reactants side and two on the products side.
