Chemistry

kiruha [24]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

Before it can be used in a reactor for electricity generation, however, it must undergo a series of processes to produce a useable fuel. For most of the world's reactors, the next step in making the fuel is to convert the uranium oxide into a gas, uranium hexafluoride (UF6), which enables it to be enriched.

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).

If 200 g of water is heated from 20 C to 40 C, then what is the heat added in kilocalories (same as food calories)?
Maslowich

Answer: 4Kcal

Explanation:

H= mcø

M=200g

C= 1 cal/g/°c

Ø= 40-20=20°c

H= 200*1*20= 4000calories= 4Kcal
